Bus electrification plays a crucial role in advancing urban transportation sustainability. Battery Electric Buses (BEBs), however, often need recharging, making the Problem of Locating and Allocating Charging Equipment for BEBs (PLACE-BEB)…
The transition of transit fleets to alternative powertrains offers a potential pathway to reducing the cost of mobility. However, the limited range and long charging durations of battery electric buses (BEBs) introduce significant…
The rapid growth of urban populations and the increasing need for sustainable transportation solutions have prompted a shift towards electric buses in public transit systems. However, the effective management of mixed fleets consisting of…
A significant challenge of adopting battery electric buses into fleets lies in scheduling the charging, which in turn is complicated by considerations such as timing constraints imposed by routes, long charging times, limited numbers of…
We study the joint route assignment and charge scheduling problem of a transit system dispatcher operating a fleet of electric buses in order to maximize solar energy integration and reduce energy costs. Specifically, we consider a complex…
This paper presents mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulations to obtain optimal sizing for a battery energy storage system (BESS) and solar generation system in an extreme fast charging station (XFCS) to reduce the annualized…
Transit agencies that operate battery-electric buses must carefully manage fast-charging infrastructure to extend daily bus range without degrading on-time performance. To support this need, we propose a mixed-integer linear programming…
Mixed Integer Linear Programs (MILPs) are often used in the path planning of both ground and aerial vehicles. Such a formulation of the path planning problem requires a linear objective function and constraints, limiting the fidelity of the…
Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) can contribute to energy and environmental challenges. Among different types of PEVs, plug-in hybrid electric taxis (PHETs) go in advance. In this study, we provide a spatial and temporal PHET charging…
The rapid escalation in plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) and their uncoordinated charging patterns pose several challenges in distribution system operation. Some of the undesirable effects include overloading of transformers, rapid voltage…
Public transport operators are gradually electrifying their bus fleets, predominantly with battery-powered drive trains. These buses commonly have to be scheduled to recharge in-service, which gives rise to a number of challenges. A major…
School bus transportation, the largest fleet size for public transportation in the US, plays a significant role in sustainability through transport decarbonization. Thus, effective planning of electric school bus routes and recharge…
As many public transportation systems around the world transition to electric buses, the planning and operation of fleets can be improved via tailored decision-support tools. In this work, we study the impact of jointly locating charging…
This work presents a novel hierarchical approach to increase Battery Electric Buses (BEBs) utilization in transit fleets. The proposed approach relies on three key components. A learning-based BEB digital twin cloud platform is used to…
The transition from traditional bus fleets to zero-emission ones necessitates the development of effective planning models for battery electric bus (BEB) charging infrastructure. On-route fast charging stations, distinct from on-base…
The uptake of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is increasing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector. The rapid adoption of BEVs depends significantly on the coordinated charging/discharging infrastructure. Without it,…
The increasing use of electric vehicles (EVs) requires efficient route planning solutions that take into account the limited range of EVs and the associated charging times, as well as the different types of charging stations. In this work,…
