Abstract

Analysing the possibility of electric, battery-powered bus operation one should take into consideration many factors, e.g. the plan and profile of the bus routes, and technical, operational and economical characteristics of the public transport company. This chapter presents the concept of using.xml format files as a form of writing technical, economic and operational characteristics of battery-powered buses. The purpose of their use is parameterization of the universal model which analyses the possibility of introducing electric buses into service for potential user, e.g. the public transport company or transport organiser. This chapter presents the characteristics of the.xml files relating to the public transport network and timetable, operational and technical characteristics of the enterprise, infrastructure, transport business economics and issues related to the environmental aspects of the use of buses equipped with different types of drives in public transport.
