Known for their environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and quiet operation, electric buses come forward as ideal public transportation solutions for urban areas. On the other hand, their limited driving range, depending on their battery capacities, hinders their wider adoption. Implementing the opportunity charging strategy can serve as a solution to address this inherent challenge of electric buses. This strategy allows buses to charge at bus stops using wireless chargers during the dwell time. However, it introduces another challenge, known as the Charging Infrastructure Location Problem (CILP), which involves optimizing the charger locations on transit networks.
