The article provides the results of an intermediate stage of research on development of a project to create infrastructure for operation of highly environmentally friendly electric vehicles. The transition to electric transport is one of the promising methods to solve the problem of emissions and achieve environmental goals. An electric bus is a relatively new type of rolling stock, requiring a balanced and objective justification for selection of certain possible options for technical, technological, economic and other aspects of organisation of its operation. To achieve the goal of developing a project to create infrastructure for operation of environmentally friendly electric vehicles, an initial analysis of legal acts, technical characteristics of electric buses and the parking and on route infrastructure approaches to organizing transportation by electric buses with various charging concepts was performed. The analysis of the concepts of charging electric bus batteries allowed to divide them into 5 classes and group into 3 groups according to charging speed. An analysis of the required infrastructure for operation of electric buses showed that conceptually there are 2 types of charging stations. The calculations and evaluation of various options for organizing operation of electric buses on a fixed route with various concepts of charging were performed. A necessary direction for further research is economic assessment of operation of electric buses with various charging concepts and the necessary transport infrastructure. The methods used include analysis, evaluation of previously performed analytical studies, legal acts and a synthesis of domestic and foreign experience.

The article presents a proposal for constructing a vehicle for urban ground transport using a tram system (current consumption from the catenary, separate tracks), but with the option of leaving the track and using batteries or charging stations. This will allow for temporary or target extension of existing routes and for bringing large-scale rolling stock to densely built-up housing estates. Based on the review of modern solutions, the thesis was formulated that the development of an (slightly) innovative vehicle is "at your fingertips." The possibilities of introducing new rolling stock were shown on the example of Wroclaw. Nevertheless, the proposed solution may also be attractive to other, at least Polish cities.

In accordance with the Principle of "scientific planning, moderate advancement, rational layout, and classification implementation", the genetic algorithm based on real coding will be improved in this paper for the "Hard to Charge" problem of electric vehicles and urban bus replacement project. Aiming at minimum construction, operation and maintenance, network loss, queuing and other costs, a model is established and an innovative layout of electric bus charging facilities based on Matrix Flexible Charging Reactors is proposed to make full use of resources and improve the "Hard to Charge" situation. Taking Zhuhai as an example, by predicting the number of electric buses in Zhuhai in the planning year, the different locations and capacities of the bus charging stations with smaller average annual comprehensive cost in the regions are realized. And the comprehensive cost of the charging station with Matrix Flexible Charging Reactors as the construction subject is compared with the charging piles’. The analysis shows that this optimization proposal can better meet the future charging demand of urban electric buses, and proves that the charging station with Matrix Flexible Charging Reactors as the main subject of construction is more cost-effective. It provides new ideas for charging facilities planning in other cities, which is conducive to creating a healthier and more orderly environment for electric vehicle charging facilities industry.

When developing projects for introduction of electric buses into operation and determining the required infrastructure, it is necessary to justify the concept and methodological approaches to choosing of routes, to estimate the number of charging stations, depending on their type, and to conduct economic assessment of the proposed solutions in specific operating conditions.The article discusses the main issues of organising operation of buses with electric traction (electric buses) on the routes of public urban surface transport. A primary analysis of both current and prospective electric bus routes was carried out regarding the city of Moscow.Adaptive calculation methods are proposed based on classical methods for determining the required number of vehicles for a route regarding a given transit capacity, passenger traffic flow, and a given traffic interval.The current and prospective schemes for location of charging stations are considered, a method for determining their required number is proposed.A methodological approach of determining direct costs associated with transportation has been adapted to operation of electric buses on the route.
