This study uses a dataset from 100 EVs in Tianjin, China, collected every 10 s from March 30 to April 7, 2024, encompassing detailed driving behavior and battery status. A new metric, the Battery Capacity Index (BCI), is introduced to quantify battery health and aging, reflecting the charge retained per unit of State of Charge (SOC). Novel Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN)-integrated time series models are applied, with the BiLSTM-KAN model demonstrating superior prediction accuracy. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis identifies observed SOC, BCI, and driving behavior as key factors influencing RDR.

Charging simulations indicate over 90% of the U.S. school bus fleet could be electrified using current technologies (300-mile range at 1.21 kWh/mile with 19.2-kW depot charging) without modifying existing operating patterns. Depot charging is a key enabler of school bus electrification, however, the strategic placement of charging stations at other locations (e.g., schools) can further increase electrification potential. Additionally, we find electric school bus charging to be highly flexible, with charge management capable of reducing peak charging loads at depots by up to 77%.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23277,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part D-transport and Environment","volume":"144 ","pages":"Article 104801"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143931659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the relationship between (i) street- and station-level built environment features at both trip ends, perceived safety and travel environment satisfaction, (ii) travel environment satisfaction and trip satisfaction, using data from a tailor-made survey (N=3,085) on train trips in East Denmark. Findings from structural equation model highlight that safe, attractive environments at home and activity ends can boost satisfaction. Key improvements include better maintenance, lighting, and wayfinding and reducing isolated areas around stations.

Acoustic aging mechanisms were analyzed by noise levels, noise spectra, and traffic- and climate-related data. Regression models were developed to predict acoustic aging behaviors. Key factors affecting the acoustic aging of LNPs were identified. Results indicated that PMFC6 generated the lowest initial TRN but experienced the fastest acoustic aging rate, while CRSMA6 demonstrated superior noise-reduction durability over 5 years, followed by PMSMA6. Lane positions and construction site locations had influences on acoustic aging rates. Both power function and logarithmic regression models could effectively describe the acoustic aging of PMFC and PMSMA pavements.

In the study cases, TIMOD is the least cost-effective option, with marginal social cost approximately 20% higher than TNCs and over three times higher than driving. For travelers, TIMOD costs more than driving but less than buses and ride-hailing when considering time value and fare. The cost of TIMOD declines as population density increases. Suburbs with less bus services and higher income residents benefit more from TIMOD, realizing greater reductions in time costs compared to buses.
