Abstract
Given the increasing importance of sustainability in the aviation sector due to climate change, electrifying ground vehicles on airport aprons is one way to reduce emissions. Dynamic inductive charging, which wirelessly charges vehicles while moving, is especially suitable for airport apron vehicles as it eliminates downtime for charging electric vehicles compared to conductive charging. We focus on scheduling electric passenger buses on airport aprons that use an inductive charging infrastructure to charge their batteries. Specifically, we investigate which vehicle should perform each service trip, whether it is transporting passengers from a gate to an airplane or from an airplane to a gate. We aim to ensure the reliable operation of these buses and avoid delays and breakdowns due to empty batteries. We present a formulation of the problem using a mathematical model. With this model, we want to evaluate different inductive charging infrastructures.
