MAIOR Suite Key Features for E-Bus Fleet Management

The MAIOR Suite enables effective planning and management of e-bus fleets, addressing the unique needs of electric buses and ensuring a successful and sustainable transport solution for major events.

• Simulate Route Electrification
  Evaluate the feasibility of integrating e-buses into routes by simulating energy needs and infrastructure requirements early in the planning process. This helps ensure that routes are suitable and operationally efficient.
• Create Scenarios with Different Charging Strategies
  Develop and compare various charging strategies to identify the most effective plan for maintaining fleet operations. This includes options for charging locations and methods to optimize vehicle availability and minimize downtime.
• Ensure Right Vehicle Block Assignment
  Monitor the real-time state of charge for each e-bus to assign vehicles to routes based on their battery life. This prevents disruptions and ensures consistent service throughout the event.

Main challenges when planning an event for electric bus fleets include

• Increased Demand for Transport Services
  Major events can draw millions of visitors, necessitating a significant increase in public transport capacity. E-bus fleets must be carefully scaled and scheduled to meet this surge in demand, ensuring that all passengers can be accommodated without delays or disruptions.
• Handling Large Crowds
  Managing large numbers of attendees requires meticulous planning to avoid bottlenecks and ensure smooth passenger flow. E-bus fleets must be integrated into the broader transport network, coordinating with other modes of public transport and optimizing routes to efficiently distribute crowds.
• Specialized Requirements of E-Bus Fleets
  Unlike traditional buses, e-buses require consideration of battery life and charging needs. This necessitates a strategic approach to scheduling, ensuring that buses are adequately charged and ready for service. Additionally, charging infrastructure must be strategically located and capable of handling the fleet’s needs.
  Environmental Impact and Sustainability
  E-buses offer a greener alternative to traditional fuel-based transportation, contributing to lower emissions and a reduced environmental footprint. Event planners must incorporate these benefits into their mobility strategies, highlighting the sustainability aspect to stakeholders and the public.
• Workforce Management
  Alongside vehicle scheduling, effective management of drivers and support staff is crucial. This includes planning personnel schedules, managing rest periods, and ensuring that all personnel are adequately trained in handling e-bus technology and operations.
