Green Mixed Bus Fleet Management Strategy
摘要：
Diesel buses, a common mode of urban transit, are accountable for a sizeable portion of transport-induced air pollution. Hence, in recent years, more and more clean-energy buses are introduced to mitigate the problem. Among them, electric buses have been recognized as the cleanest, with zero tail-pipe emissions. But their deployment is limited by their short range and long charging time, hence incorporating their routing plan and charging sche****ng is critical in designing the mixed bus fleet. This study develops a formulation to design the mixed bus fleet by minimizing the total overall costs of managing the fleet, including operation costs, external costs of emissions, resale and purchase costs of replacement buses. The formulation incorporates the routing and sche****ng problems of bus services coordination among multiple routes. Four types of buses are considered, i.e. electric, compressed natural gas, hybrid-diesel, and diesel. The approach determines both the optimal fleet size and its composition under budget constraints. We then apply the formulation to a case study in Hong Kong. The results show that bus service coordination and mixed fleet optimization are important considerations for managing the bus fleet; both can produce considerable benefits.
