Abstract

The growth of worldwide environmental awareness has prompted numerous countries to focus on developing energy-conservation and carbon-reduction technology. The advancement of such technology enables the emergence of low-noise, low-polluting alternatives for bus systems, such as hybrid-electric, battery-electric, and fuel-cell electric buses (e-buses). For such buses to serve the existing schedules and lines operated by their conventional counterparts, reorganizing bus transportation systems is a major challenge and entails construction costs that comprise the costs of e-buses, battery capacity, chargers, and bus scheduling.
