The National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), a key partner in the METACCAZE project, has recently published a new scientific paper titled “Extending Electric Bus Charging Infrastructure Considering Charging Scheduling and Energy Pricing“, available here.

This research presents an advanced optimisation framework that supports the strategic expansion of electric bus charging networks. By integrating charging scheduling and dynamic energy pricing, the study identifies cost-effective and operationally efficient charging solutions for electric bus fleets. The methodology is applied to the case of Limassol, Cyprus, using real-world transport and energy data to develop scalable and sustainable infrastructure plans.

The study offers valuable insights for public transport operators and city planners aiming to accelerate the transition to zero-emission urban mobility, while addressing energy management challenges and minimising investment costs. This work directly contributes to METACCAZE’s mission of enabling innovative and data-driven approaches to the deployment of electric vehicle infrastructure across European cities.
