Location of Electric Buses Recharging Stations Using Point Method Procedure

A battery performance seems to be a key question from the standpoint of operability which directly translates into a bus range. Current range values of electric buses is deficient to perform all-day schedules in any conditions they operate. Hence, the process of battery recharging is essential to provide all-day long operability of electric buses. The article presents a proposal to assess potential locations of battery recharging stations proposed by investors (public transport company or public transport organiser) with use of Point Method Procedure. On this basis one is possible to determine the ranking of proposed solutions, which-depending on available funds-can be implemented over a longer or shorter period of time.
