块能源模型是运输车队电气化成功的基础
在我最后的 IBI的见解 article on bus fleet electrification, 我简要地指出了服务块建模的概念,它是 成功地将公共交通车队从柴油转向电动需要预先规划和分析.
A term familiar in 公共交通, service “阻止” is how transit agencies apportion the scheduled service along bus routes. To maximize operator efficiency, blocking is coordinated with the scheduling of service operators, 这个过程被称为“runcutting’.
每个服务块包括由运输车队中的同一车辆操作的预定行程序列. 这些区块包括在服务结束或开始时往返服务车库的分配时间, plus the period of time when a bus is traveling between revenue trips, or ‘免费入场’, and during layover periods.
服务阻塞的主要目标是优化人力和设备资源的分配,以交付预定的行程, 在车辆性能的限制下最大限度地降低运营成本,并制定可行的劳动力协议.
It should come as no surprise, 然后, 这些服务区在规划将以柴油为燃料的公共汽车车队过渡到电气化车队的过程中发挥着不可或缺的作用.
