Feasibility Check of Electrification in Istanbul Metrobus Line

Today, climate change is a significant effect of population growth, especially in big cities. Transport in metropolitan cities is the most important reason for climate change with the contribution of CO2 pollution that threatens human health and the environment. Electrified transport systems can therefore provide a suitable solution to air pollution and health problems. This study investigates feasibility of applying electric buses to Metrobus line in Istanbul. Initially, Metrobus line data regarding to number of vehicles, number of stops, route length is gathered from official Istanbul transportation system to define how much energy is needed for the routes. Then, it is analyzed how to re-charge proposed batteries for allocation of chargers on the stations where is applicable.
