Method to analyze cost effectiveness of different electric bus systems

• This paper presents a method developed to analyze a complete electric bus system including electricity supply infrastructure, charging system, buses' energy system and scheduling. This method can give an understanding of what kind of electric bus system that is the most cost-effective based on local conditions such as transport demand and type of electricity infrastructure available. It is being used as a tool in planning and construction of future public transport systems.
