Optimisation of operating concepts for e-mobility
Designing operational processes efficiently and reliably
Why operations and charging infrastructure must go hand in hand
Decisions with foresight
Electrification changes not only vehicles and infrastructure, but also operational planning. Rotations, charging times and energy supply must be perfectly aligned to ensure efficiency and profitability. We model rotations for all operating days (weekdays, weekends, special services) and assess how existing timetables can be mapped electrically. A key focus is the analysis of charging points: utilisation, energy flows and peak loads reveal whether infrastructure is over- or undersized. In addition, we evaluate cost structures, tariffs and grid charges to identify savings potential. We also simulate optimisation scenarios – such as modified rotations, adjusted termini or relocation of charging stations. The goal is to minimise unproductive trips (e.g. depot trips, empty runs, charging times) and maximise productive mileage. The result: operating concepts that not only enable but optimise electric operations.
