Program Module for Locating Charging Stations for Electric Light Vehicles in a Settlement

One of the challenges resulting from the proliferation of such vehicles is the need to create a network infrastructure that allows charging of the devices used. In this regard, the paper considers the process of implementing a software module for the arrangement of charging stations for electric vehicles, based on the use of geographic information systems used as a source of input data and the development environment Python, with which all the basic computational procedures are implemented. This module is based on the use of a plug-in for QGIS, which allows the placement of charging points for small electric vehicles along a selected route (road network). Unlike the previous solution, the developed module is aimed at working with large spaces, such as cities and towns, and is a full-fledged standalone application that does not require installation of additional software.
