BEST PRACTICES: ZERO-EMISSION FLEETS

Advertorial

Electric Buses -
the Time is Now

HASTUS Software Assures Smooth, Efficient Deployment
Electric buses are no longer the wave
of the future - they're here and now.
To deploy them successfully, transit
agencies and private operators must
handle new constraints and their implications for planning, scheduling
and operations.
How long and over what distance can
a bus operate between charges? How
long does charging take and where can
it be done? How does incorporating electric buses impact on fleet size? These are
just a few of the questions to address for
optimized service with battery-electric
buses. They mean that new approaches
to managing depots and resources are

required to continue meeting riders' service-quality expectations.
Pioneering agencies deploying electric buses, such as Foothill Transit, are
using GIRO's HASTUS software to meet
these challenges.
The HASTUS tools for electric-bus
planning, scheduling and operations
have been showing their worth at agencies in North America and Europe since
2016, achieving considerable savings
when optimizing service. Planners can
explore what-if scenarios based on
different electric-bus types, charging
stations, route topology and operating
conditions. Schedulers can optimize

schedules and ensure a robust and operable solution by considering vehicle
range along with the timing and location of charging activities and the use of
multiple charging technologies. Efficient
operations flow from new approaches
to vehicle assignments, dispatching and
yard management, responding to range
constraints and daily changes.
Developed in collaboration with bus
manufacturers, industry experts, and
transit agencies and authorities, the
proven tools in HASTUS for efficient electric-bus scheduling and operations are the
leading-edge solution to manage the transition to zero-emission transit.

PROVEN TOOLS FOR
ELECTRIC-BUS OPERATIONS
Leading transit operators in North America
and Europe trust HASTUS to plan and schedule
optimized services with hundreds of electric buses
in operation.
