Abstract

Electrifying public transportation fleets is a primary strategy for reducing emissions, yet it introduces significant planning and infrastructure challenges compared to traditional diesel operations. To address these complexities, this study develops an integrated optimization model that simultaneously solves the charging location, fleet sizing, and charging scheduling problems, while including service requirements. The framework is applied to a case study of the TransMilenio BRT system in Bogotá, Colombia, in anticipation of its 2026 fleet electrification. Results demonstrate the model’s effectiveness for city-scale planning and provide specific infrastructure development proposals. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis underscores the critical influence of integrating service requirements and electric fleet charging constraints to achieve a cost-efficient, resilient transport system that provides adequate service to the public.
