Transit route network redesign under Electrification: Model and application

Electrification of surface transportation networks has the potential to reduce oil consumption and transport-related emissions, with many relevant projects currently underway worldwide. Typically, transition to electric public transport services is gradual, as operators select specific lines to elec...
