Our external master student Erika Picarelli from University Roma Tre, presented her work from her master degree thesis on ecoBus Project during OR 2018 at MCE Conference Center in Bruxelles (11-14 September 2018).
She presented the first results of the Time-based Decomposition of the optimal dispatching problem of electric buses and electric hybrid buses with energy constraints for Luxembourg City, that she developed together with Marco Rinaldi and Francesco Viti.
This research wants to solve the problem of optimally determining the sequence of electric and hybrid electric buses, considering both service constraints (schedule adherence) and energy constraints (electric bus charging status, bus recharging scheduling in capacitated facilities) and at the same time ensure a high level of quality of service for the user satisfaction!
