Abstract

Application of compressed natural gas in public transportation has attracted environmental and social attentions worldwide for natural gas' low air pollutants emission, low cost, and availability. Constructing a suitable compressed natural gas network for public transportation in a city has thus become an important topic for the theory and practice of applying the compressed natural gas, which is considered as a key measure to solve the energy crisis and city congestion. The present paper proposed an integrated decision-making process of compressed natural gas siting for public transportation based on the method of multi-objective optimization, fuzzy evaluating, and radar charting. Multi-objective optimization is used to find the initial feasible solution under the city's requirement in economic, availability, safety and so on. Fuzzy evaluation then provides the criteria of decision-making. Radar charting presents a clear vision of all the candidate solutions for decision-making based on the different feature of the city condition. To illustrate the proposed process, the present paper takes the city of Wuhan, China as the case study.
