Electric bus charging station location optimization considering queues

The transition to new forms of urban transport, which are environment friendly, efficient, and cost-effective has become a pressing issue modern times. Battery electric buses being deployed worldwide, marking change in public transport planning operations. emergence fast ultra-fast wireless charging for brought about the need processes associated decision-support models their deployment. objective this paper is development model optimally locating chargers an bus network, considers delays queuing opportunity at charger locations. An integer linear programming formulated that purpose: minimizes investment cost deploying facilities. M/M/1 employed incorporate considerations terminal proposed demonstrated benchmark instance results discussed.
