Abstract:Abstract. We investigate the application of a solar-powered bus route to a
small-scale transportation system, as such of a university campus. In
particular, we explore the prospect of replacing conventional fossil fuel
buses by electric buses powered by solar energy and electricity provided by
the central grid. To this end, we employ GIS mapping technology to estimate
the solar radiation at the university campus and, accordingly, we
investigate three different scenarios for harnessing the available solar
power… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
