Route Planning for Electric Buses (original) (raw)

Abstract

Electric vehicles still lack the flexibility and thus the prevalence of internal combustion engines mostly due to inadequacy of battery technologies. Electric vehicles designed for general use, mostly result in economic, operational and sometimes technical infeasibilities. Eliminating these feasibility issues is necessary in taking advantage of electric vehicles. Many of those infeasibilities can be eliminated through individual customization and configuration of vehicles according to their intended use and areas. Our study tries to answer according to what criteria electrification of city buses should be made in order to maintain economic feasibility. These criteria are applied on selected city bus lines and the configuration parameters are determined.
