Abstract

This paper proposes a multi-terminal allocation of inductive charging infrastructure for the public bus transit network using Lagos bus rapid transit as a case study. The charging model is formulated as a mathematical optimisation problem that allocates multi-terminal based inductive chargers for the transit network. The formulated optimisation problem is solved using a particle swarm optimisation algorithm. The results indicate that the allocation of the inductive chargers to transit system is more cost-efficient and reduce the battery size of the battery-electric bus when the bus terminals in a transit route are of equal distance from each other.
