Abstract

A study conducted on a public transport management system to deliver the best service with a defined standard of service from state regulatory bodies by utilizing & managing a high volume of vehicles in the most efficient, productive, and cost-effective way to minimize cost and as well as air pollution, carbon emissions from the transportation sector. A total cost of ownership framework is developed for evaluation of different alternative fuel bus options (Diesel, Electric and CNG) based on real-world driving conditions. In addition, Electric, CNG, and diesel buses are compared from the life cycle and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). According to the results, it was found that electric bus TCO is less than the diesel and CNG buses i.e. electric bus TCO cost is 15% less than the diesel bus and in the case of CNG, it is 5% less over a period of 10 years use. The proposed framework provides a quantitative basis for a sustainable fleet management approach for public bus service providers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
