Electric Mobility in Public Transport-Driving Towards Cleaner Air

This book addresses various aspects of electric mobility deployment in public transport. These include transport policy-related issues as well as technical, organizational and technical dimensions of the fleet conversion process (from conventional one towards the increased share of electric vehicles in public transport). In the book, one may find, e.g. the determinants for the successful functioning of electrified transport systems (including charging facilities), models and methods for battery electric bus energy consumption, the analysis regarding the charging strategies (including power-grid) as well as electric vehicle battery issues. As the process of fleet conversion is multi-faceted, the book also contains the issues related to cybersecurity in public transport, autonomous vehicles and hyperloop. The book is dedicated to transport professionals, consulting companies and researchers in the field of electromobility and modern transport systems.

Presents recent research on Electric Mobility in Public Transport Exhibits methodologies for probabilistic assessment of energy consumption by electric buses on routes, distribution of charging stations as well as charging scheduling and balancing Provides various aspects of the problems and challenges posed by electromobility involving electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, and power-grid adjustment to the increased energy demand Shows the operational assessment of battery electric vehicles in an urban environment as well as electric vehicle charging system optimization in smart cities, considering the integration of renewables
