Spatial Differentiation of the Public Transport Modal Split for Integration into the Location Analysis for Charging Infrastructure

The spread of charging infrastructure (CIS) for battery electric vehicles is crucial for coping with the increasing number of electric vehicles. Therefore, the selection of ideal (fast-) charging locations determines acceptance, utilization and, thus, the economic viability of a single site or the whole charging network. The methodology of the Integrated Model Approach STELLA[1] for site identification of CIS uses proven methods of traffic modeling such as the classic four-step traffic modeling in a new context to enable statements regarding the positioning of CIS. Based on different spatial analyzes and characterizations of urban quarters, traffic generated by individuals is calculated using the FGSV approach of 2010. Because only (electric) motorized individual traffic is of importance for CIS, the share of trips is calculated by differentiating the modal split between various transport groups. One approach is to concretize the modal split share of public transport based on analyzes of different criteria and data sets, e.g. the accessibility of stops. The model approach STELLA, which also combines various extensive data (e.g. transport networks and traffic volumes, settlement structures, vehicle characteristics, power supply data and user requirements), is currently developed for a planning area covering the entire territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. [1] STELLA is the acronym for the German term "STandortfindungsmodell für ELektrische LAdeinfrastruktur”.

Traffic volume depends on several indicators. The most important are the degree of motorization, mobility, and especially the travel time and travel cost factor. The article presents an analysis of the possibility of using mobility surveys and traffic counts to achieve a balance between supply and demand. The frequency of congested traffic and over-capacity volumes are determined. By analyzing the trip information captured in the mobility surveys, we detected the strata causing the highest demand—economically active people with “job” as the purpose of their trip. The study area includes the Kysuce region and the city of Žilina in Slovakia. Three scenarios are processed in the article. Scenario 0 defines the current state, scenario 1 defines the situation with free-of-charge public transport, and scenario 2 represents a targeted modal split where saturation is not exceeded. The aim is to shift passengers to public transport and increase the share of public transport in the modal split. Scenario 2 is also presented in terms of saved emissions as an additional factor of relocating passengers from private to public transport. In terms of fare, we found a small change in the modal split with free-of-charge public transport.

Main Support

The development of electromobility is currently the focus of the government of the Federal Republic of Germany. To stimulate the transition to new types of environmentally friendly and climate-neutral transport, various measures of financial support are used – both direct payments and tax preferences. A separate area of work is the introduction of modern charging infrastructure. Much attention is paid to building up research and development competencies in these areas. The article provides an overview of the main support measures in force for electromobility in Germany. It is concluded that the transition to climate neutral transport is possible with a combination of both direct financial incentives and large government investments in new charging infrastructure.

Public transport has undergone major changes in recent years. In particular, they relate to the issue of environmental impact. Due to the significant emission of pollutants from the economy, in particular from the transport segment, member states of the European Union have taken measures to limit its scope. Only low-emission and zero-emission vehicles are to be used in transport, and mainly those that are powered by electricity in public transport. The development of battery technologies has led to a revolution in the range and operational capabilities of electric buses in the last decade. They have become a seemingly easy alternative to traditional electric vehicles in public transport—trams and trolleybuses. This article presents the possibilities and limitations of the development of public transport in Poland based on electric buses. An attempt was made to review the literature and compare the possibility of the functioning of buses, trams and trolleybuses in the Polish socio-economic, environmental and technological conditions. The article was based on a literature query, an analysis of unpublished materials, and a qualitative analysis of national programs endorsing the idea of electromobility as well as an online survey on the perception of electric public transport. The main goal of the article was to identify and evaluate the possibilities of developing public transport in Poland with the use of electric buses. The main results of the work include the demonstration that the optics of the national and regional authorities in Poland are focused mainly on electric buses without a thorough analysis of the legitimacy of their operation, especially in small towns. The incentive in the form of subsidizing the purchase of an electric bus is sufficient for them, and the future effects of using electric buses are not investigated.

This study describes, applies, and compares three different approaches to integrate electric vehicles (EVs) in a cost-minimising electricity system investment model and a dispatch model. The approaches include both an aggregated vehicle representation and individual driving profiles of passenger EVs. The driving patterns of 426 randomly selected vehicles in Sweden were recorded between 30 and 73 days each and used as input to the electricity system model for the individual driving profiles. The main conclusion is that an aggregated vehicle representation gives similar results as when including individual driving profiles for most scenarios modelled. However, this study also concludes that it is important to represent the heterogeneity of individual driving profiles in electricity system optimisation models when: (i) charging infrastructure is limited to only the home location in regions with a high share of solar and wind power in the electricity system, and (ii) when addressing special research issues such as impact of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) on battery health status. An aggregated vehicle representation will, if the charging infrastructure is limited to only home location, over-estimate the V2G potential resulting in a higher share (up to 10 percentage points) of variable renewable electricity generation and an under-estimation of investments in both short- and long-term storage technologies.
