• Optimal routing and charging procedures for electric buses 

      Masliakova, Kseniia (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-04-06)
      The goal of the project is to use Ant Colony Optimization techniques with Genetic Algorithm to design and analyse routes and recharging schedules for electric buses. One system so-called “en route” charging was analysed where the bus applies a kind of pantograph at bus stops to recharge the bus batteries. This implies more frequent, but short recharging intervals. The program offers diff t variants ...
