Current battery electric buses in public transportation need to be recharged during their daily run. Delays in operation may cause unintended power peaks leading to a higher power providing fee and may additionally cause problems by more electric buses demanding for charging than available charging points. Therefore, the charging operations need to be scheduled before operation in order to make the charging operations schedule more robust against delays. Furthermore, balancing is needed during operation in order to handle critical delays appropriately. This chapter presents objective function based and rule-based algorithms for scheduling the charging operations before operation as well as balancing them during operation. These algorithms exploit the optimization potential that is offered by a fast charging infrastructure as well as an Intermodal Transportation Control System (ITCS) that collects and distributes the relevant real-time data.
