Aims and Scope:
This Special Issue invites authors to contribute articles focusing on innovative methods for electric bus (EB) planning, operation, management, and various impacts (e.g., workforce, equity, climate change). We hope to assemble high-quality research outcomes from around the world on the policy, technology, methods, and implementation of EBs to contribute to sustainable transportation. We welcome both original research and review articles. Possible contributions may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
1) Scheduling, timetabling, and control for energy-efficient operations of EB fleets; 2) Integrated charging system design and management for EB fleets; 3) New charging technology applications in EB systems; 4) Battery degradation prediction; 5) Evaluations and simulation models of EB systems; 6) EB workforce development; 7) Clean energy applications in EB systems; 8) Integrating EBs with automation/connectivity and cyber security; 9) Impacts of EB systems on equity and climate change.
Submission deadline: 1 December 2023
