Abstract
This paper presents a novel mathematical model, integrating timetabling and vehicle scheduling problems for electric buses. The objective is to minimize the number of buses while satisfying constraints concerning routing and charging, including design choices for where to install charging stations. The aim of the paper is to illustrate and discuss the effects of solving the timetabling and vehicle scheduling of electric buses (including where to install charging infrastructure) separately, compared to solving them jointly in one single step. For that purpose, we perform tests with: i) given timetable, that is, solving only the vehicle scheduling problem, ii) fixed headways for each line, and iii) variable headways. A small test case based on actual bus lines from Västra Frölunda, Gothenburg, Sweden, is used. From the numerical experiments, we verify that combining the two planning steps can significantly reduce the number of vehicles needed.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Public Transportation, affiliated with the Center for Urban Transportation Research, is an international peer-reviewed open access journal focused on various forms of public transportation. It publishes original research from diverse academic disciplines, including engineering, economics, planning, and policy, emphasizing innovative solutions to transportation challenges. Content covers mobility services available to the general public, such as line-based services and shared fleets, offering insights beneficial to passengers, agencies, service providers, and communities.
