Selecting the location of the battery swapping station for the introduction of the smart e-bus system

초록/요약

With the growing interest and popularity of electric vehicles (EVs), the electrification of buses has been progressing recently. To achieve the seamless operation of electric buses (e-Buses) for public transportation, some bus stations should play the role of battery swapping station due to the limited travel range of e-Buses. This dissertation consider the problem of locating battery swapping station for e-Buses on a passenger bus traffic network. For the purpose, three integer programming models (set-covering based model, flow-based model and path-based model) are introduced to model the problem of minimizing the number of stations needed. The models are applied and tested on the current bus routes in the Seoul metropolitan area of South Korea.
