Optimal electric bus scheduling with multiple vehicle types considering coordinated recharging strategy
To solve the problem of supply-demand mismatch caused by the imbalance of time-space passenger flow,this paper proposes an electric bus scheduling method with multiple vehicle types based on the characteristics of passenger flow variety.In view of the operating characteristics difference of multiple vehicle types,considering the time-of-use electricity price and coordinated charging strategy,an electric bus scheduling model is established to jointly optimize the vehicle driving plan,charging scheme and fleet configuration.A genetic algorithm model is designed to solve the problem,and a network in Nanjing are taken as examples to verify the effect of the model.compared with the small and large type scheduling scheme,the total system cost of the scheduling scheme with multiple vehicle types is reduced by 8.26%and 11.25%,respectively.The results show that the proposed method can not only improve the public transport service level,but also effectively reduce the operation cost of the public transport system.
