Abstract
This study addresses the sustainable planning of charging locations and times for battery electric buses (BEBs) under uncertain weather conditions, aiming to minimize the operational risks and enhance the environmental sustainability. With BEBs as a key component of sustainable urban development, their operational efficiency and environmental impact are heavily influenced by uncertain weather conditions. To model this situation, we introduce a new risk measure, excess probability, to quantify the impact of weather uncertainty on BEB operations. To address the inherent uncertainties in weather conditions, three globalized robust optimization (GRO) models are built for our studied problem, which can be reformulated as mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) models. A new tailored Benders decomposition (BD) algorithm is designed for MILP models with acceleration strategies. The advantages of the proposed method are verified via a real case about a bus route in Edmonton. The results also highlight the importance of addressing risk preferences in decision-making process and balancing the operational costs with service reliability.
