We employ a two-phase solution framework: in phase 1, we solve the Charging Location\r\nand Electric Vehicle Scheduling Problem to generate vehicle schedules that are feasible\r\nfor electric operation; in phase 2, these schedules serve as input to a multi-period transition\r\nplanning model that minimizes the total cost of ownership while determining fleet\r\nreplacement and charging infrastructure deployment. Our experiments show that schedules\r\nobtained from solving the integrated charging location and vehicle scheduling problem\r\nsignificantly outperform traditional methods, resulting in lower total cost of ownership. Additionally,\r\ntransition plans reduce local emissions by up to 85% compared to a diesel-only\r\nscenario. We find that vehicle rotations with long distances and sufficient idle time are\r\nprioritized for electrification, enabling earlier emission reductions and cost savings. This\r\nhighlights the importance of adopting vehicle scheduling tailored for electric buses, rather\r\nthan relying on legacy diesel schedules."}],"author":[{"full_name":"Stumpe, Miriam","id":"64135","last_name":"Stumpe","first_name":"Miriam"},{"first_name":"David","last_name":"Rößler-von Saß","full_name":"Rößler-von Saß, David"},{"last_name":"Natalia","full_name":"Natalia, Kliewer","first_name":"Kliewer"},{"first_name":"Guido","last_name":"Schryen","full_name":"Schryen, Guido","id":"72850"}],"date_created":"2026-04-24T09:13:39Z","date_updated":"2026-04-27T09:31:42Z","title":"Impact of Vehicle Scheduling and Strategic Transition Planning on Zero-Emission Bus Systems","quality_controlled":"1","publication_status":"accepted","citation":{"mla":"Stumpe, Miriam, et al. “Impact of Vehicle Scheduling and Strategic Transition Planning on Zero-Emission Bus Systems.” <i>Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives</i>.","bibtex":"@article{Stumpe_Rößler-von Saß_Natalia_Schryen, title={Impact of Vehicle Scheduling and Strategic Transition Planning on Zero-Emission Bus Systems}, journal={Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives}, author={Stumpe, Miriam and Rößler-von Saß, David and Natalia, Kliewer and Schryen, Guido} }","short":"M.
