The rise of electrification and the prominent role of electric buses in sustainable public transport (2. part)
Abstract
In the second part of the article - through the example of passenger transport with electric buses - a complex economic model based on the statistical and financial data of vehicle operation, battery charging, fuel consumption and maintenance costs generated by Volánbusz Zrt. is presented. After processing the data used in the model with statistical methods,
it promotes the efficient and sustainable operation of the business by applying optimization algorithms based on defined premises. The circular, data-driven ecosystem that forms the basis of the model connects energy production (e.g., solar parks), energy storage (e.g., batteries and storage), energy consumption (e.g., electric buses and fuel cells) and energy buying and selling processes (e.g., smart grid, V2V, night current, etc.).
