Accuracy of a Novel High-Throughput "Car Blood Pressure" Measurement Protocol.

More than one in three adults with hypertension in the United States are unaware of their condition, highlighting the importance of large-scale screening campaigns. Currently, the identification of hypertension is largely limited to medical settings. To help overcome this barrier, we developed a novel high-throughput screening protocol that measures blood pressure (BP) while patients remain seated in an automobile ("car-BP"). The aim of this study was to provide an initial assessment of the accuracy of car-BP. Three BP readings were determined in a clinic exam room before and after three BP readings were taken while patients were seated in a parked car outside (n=100 participants). The same validated device model (Omron HEM-907XL) and BP measurement methods adhering to guidelines were used in both scenarios. The average of all 6 clinic readings was compared to the average of the 3 car-BP readings in each individual. Mean clinic and car-BP readings were 120.9 ± 16.2/78.0 ± 9.9 and 118.9 ± 15.2/76.0 ± 10.0mm Hg, respectively. The paired mean and absolute mean differences in systolic BP levels between methods were -1.92mm Hg (95% confidence interval (CI) -3.2 to -0.7mm Hg) and 4.8mm Hg (95%CI 3.8 to 5.6mm Hg), respectively. A total of 85% of participants had both systolic and diastolic BP levels ≤10mm Hg different between measurement scenarios (meeting the a priori determined study primary outcome). Car-BP represents an innovative and accessible approach for potential large-scale hypertension screening campaigns.

Carbon Monoxide Concentration in the Garage of a Single-Family House—Experiment and One-Dimensional Model of Carbon Monoxide Concentration

The paper presents a number of tests of the carbon monoxide concentration in a single-car garage equipped with exhaust ventilation, while the combustion engine of a parked passenger car is operating. The main source of carbon monoxide in the garage is the internal combustion engine of a passenger car. Single-car garages are characterized by a relatively small volume, which causes a rapid accumulation of carbon monoxide inside the garage. The aim of this publication is to present the results of research on carbon monoxide concentration in a single-family building garage with the combustion engine in a passenger car running and at various air exchanges in the garage. The test results showed that the permissible values (WHO, NAAQS) of carbon monoxide concentrations were significantly exceeded, both with the exhaust ventilation switched on and off. The highest carbon monoxide concentration values (2253 ppm) in the garage were observed when the exhaust ventilation was turned off. The study also developed two one-dimensional models of carbon monoxide concentrations in a garage with the combustion engine of a passenger car turned on, with the exhaust ventilation turned on and off. The models developed can be used in ventilation design to estimate the carbon monoxide concentrations in garages, based on the type of car and the number of air changes.

Solar parking lot capacity: an abundant dual-use alternative to meet demand for the renewable energy transition

Abstract Most utility-scale solar facilities (USSFs) in the United States (US) are planned or installed in grasslands, pastures, agriculture land, and timberland, with aggressive future expansion plans. Investor-owned electricity providers have lobbied aggressively to remove obstacles to approval of USSFs on agricultural lands and for limits on regulations that support distributed solar installation. Rural USSF expansion may have potentially significant local, state, and regional impacts on agricultural production and the economy, property values and affordability, and conservation of habitats, connectivity, and endangered species. The potential use of parking lots in urban and suburban areas for solar development to meet demands is poorly studied and parking lot solar has not gained much traction in the US. The objective of this research was to estimate whether solar PV systems installed in parking lots can meet electricity demands across multiple urban and suburban metropolitan areas within the US. Parking lot data across four municipalities with variation in latitude, solar radiation, and population density was obtained, along with modeled annual electricity demand by sector. Parking lot area and potential generating capacity was calculated for canopy and carport designs using standard and premium efficiency panels, and annual electricity production was estimated using the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s PVWatts Calculator. Premium efficiency canopy designs can meet ~100% of demand in some large car dependent low to medium density municipalities. High density urban areas may receive marginal direct benefit from parking lot solar development within their boundaries. Dual-use of lands without any ecosystem or productive value can substantially contribute to renewable energy mixes to meet demands.

Numerical investigation of the influence of thermal runaway modelling on car park fire hazard and application to a Lithium-ion Manganese Oxide battery

This article presents numerical simulations of a Nissan LEAF 2011 electric car fire inside a concrete parking facility. Variations in the thermo-chemical properties of thermal runaway are analysed, and the way they affect the heat received by the concrete structure and a nearby parked vehicle is evaluated. Three key parameters are identified: the composition of the gas flowing through the pressure vent, the associated flow rate, and the peak heat release rate. These parameters are established independently, and the model is closed by adjusting the stoichiometry of the combustion reaction of the vented gas. Four simulations are conducted to capture the uncertainty. The net heat flux and surface temperature on the concrete and on a neighbouring parked car are monitored during each simulation. The study includes a sensitivity analysis of the impact of input variables on the net heat fluxes and surface temperatures, and investigations are carried out to understand the role of internal heat release. Variations in the gaseous mixture composition, heat release rate, and internal heat release have little impact on the resulting thermal conditions around the burning car because the combustion of the polymers in the passenger cabin drives the total heat release rate.

Experimental Investigation of Using Thermoelectric Coolers under Different Cooling Methods as An Alternative Air Conditioning System for Car Cabin

The cabin car temperature will increase when parked in direct sunlight, so the energy required to cool cabin space by the air conditioner will be higher. This study aims to investigate using a thermoelectric cooling system as an alternative to a chiller system to supply cold air to the car cabin under different cooling methods for parked cars. Experimental testing of thermoelectric cooling systems was conducted to produce cold air that can be applied to car cabins as an alternative to conventional air conditioners. The thermoelectric cooling system was varied with single and double TEC modules. The double TEC modules are arranged in a series of electrical and parallel thermal arrangements. A cooling water block using a mixture of water and ethylene glycol with variations of 0.4 lpm, 0.5 lpm, and 0.6 lpm was added to the hot side of the thermoelectric module. The result shows that the thermoelectric cooling system can work properly during the 2-hour test, which constantly supplies air to the cabin space between 20-25 °C, depending on the configuration of the cooling system. The highest COP of 0.84 was obtained when using the double TEC with heatsink and added 0.5 lpm water cooling system, while the lowest COP of 0.53 was obtained when using the single TEC module without a cooling water block.

Distributions of exotic herbaceous species along a roadside on Chichijima, the Ogasawara Islands, and their relationship with human disturbance

AbstractOceanic islands are a major tourist destination, and the invasion of exotic plants on oceanic islands is a serious problem. To discuss how exotic herbaceous plant invasion is driven by human disturbance on an oceanic island, we assessed the distribution patterns of exotic herbaceous species along a metropolitan road, including parking lots, on the island of Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands of Japan in the North Pacific Ocean. We observed 16 exotic herbaceous species representing seven families, and all the species have also been recorded in surveys 25 years ago. Species richness (number of species per plot) ranged from 0 to 9 with an average of 2.49. Distance from a parking lot was significantly negatively related to the distribution patterns of seven species and positively related to three species, pointing to parking lots being critical nodes along the dispersal pathways of exotic herbaceous species in Chichijima. Although roads are well known to play an important role as corridors for the invasion and seed dispersal of exotic plants, our results suggest that it would also be important to consider the location of parking lots to understand the distribution of exotic herbaceous species in road networks. We suggest that intensive weed management near parking lots and car wash protocols on Chichijima may be effective in halting exotic species spread.

A New Hybrid Hierarchical Roadside Unit Deployment Scheme Combined with Parking Cars

This paper proposes a new hybrid hierarchical roadside unit (RSU) deployment algorithm that combines traditional RSU deployment strategies with temporary RSUs (t-RSUs) selected from many parked vehicles. The driving vehicles in the corresponding RSU coverage section are divided into clusters and the demand is thus summarized. We first solve the problem of how to choose the appropriate cars serving as t-RSUs and then optimize the RSU deployment with the dynamic existing t-RSUs. We simulate the deployment application in a downtown area of Shanghai, China, using the simulation of urban mobility (SUMO), version 1.11.0, an open-source traffic simulation package, and its traffic-control interface (TraCI) with Python. The simulation results show that, within a given economic cost, the proposed hybrid hierarchical RSU deployment algorithm outperforms the maximum vehicle coverage deployment algorithm (MVCD) and the random deployment algorithm (RandDeploy) in terms of overall vehicle coverage and point-to-point vehicle connectivity ratio. Our scheme provides new solutions and ideas for the deployment of RSUs in future urban traffic environments.

Parklets As Public Space

The unpredictable increase in the number of motor vehicles and the population due to changes in the urban structure hasrevealed the need for new public areas, recreation and social contact points for pedestrians, especially in city centers.Parklet designs, can be installed modularly on the one or more car parking area, are carried out in order to calm traffic, toensure pedestrian safety, and to create public spaces. For this purpose, within the scope of the study, public space and the process of change are revealed, and parklets designed with urban equipment elements (street furniture) to meet various public needs, especially in city centers, are examined through examples from our country (Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality example) and the world. As a result, parklet designs, which are designed in a modular structure and allow alternative designs in different regions, include innovative approaches to publicity for Istanbul and all our other cities.

Implementasi Google Cloud Vision untuk Deteksi Ketersediaan Lahan Parkir Kendaraan Mobil di Perguruan Tinggi

The increasing number of car users in colleges has posed significant challenges in effectively managing parking lots. This research focuses on the implementation of Google Cloud Vision to detect and monitor the availability of car parking lots in a college environment. By utilizing cloud-based image processing services and machine learning algorithms from Google Cloud Vision, the proposed system aims to provide real-time analysis and reporting on parking slot availability. The methodology used involves capturing images of the parking area using strategically placed cameras, then uploading these images to Google Cloud Vision to detect the presence or absence of cars. The system is designed to be scalable, ensuring that it can handle different sizes and complexities of parking areas. Preliminary results show that the approach using Google Cloud Vision offers a high level of accuracy in identifying occupied and empty parking slots, thus providing a reliable tool for parking management in a college environment. This work discusses the development, implementation, and evaluation of the system, and highlights its potential in improving parking lot utilization efficiency and reducing the time users spend searching for available parking spaces.

Dust dynamics: distribution patterns of semi-volatile organic chemicals across particle sizes in varied indoor microenvironments.

An extensive analysis of the distribution patterns of three distinct classes of semi-volatile organic chemicals (SVOCs)-phthalates (PAEs), organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)-across four distinct size fractions of dust (25, 50, 100, and 200μm) was conducted. The dust samples were sourced from AC filter, covered car parking lots, households, hotels, mosques, and car floors. To generate the four fractions, ten dust samples from each microenvironment were pooled and sieved utilizing sieving apparatus with the appropriate mesh size. Selected SVOCs were quantified utilizing gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in electron impact (EI) mode. Results unveiled diverse contamination levels among dust fractions, showcasing car parking lot dust with the lowest chemical contamination, while car floor dust displayed the highest levels of PAHs and OPFRs, peaking at 28.3µg/g and 43.2µg/g, respectively. In contrast, mosque and household floor dust exhibited the highest concentrations of phthalates, with values of 985µg/g and 846µg/g, respectively. Across the analyzed microenvironments, we observed a trend where concentrations of SVOCs tended to rise as dust particles decreased in size, forming a visually striking pattern. This phenomenon was particularly pronounced in dust samples collected from car floors and parking lots. Among SVOCs, PAEs emerged as the predominant contributors with > 90% followed by OPFRs and PAHs. The high levels of OPFRs in car floor dust align logically with the fact that numerous interior components of cars are treated with OPFRs, within a compact indoor microenvironment, to comply to fire safety regulations. Furthermore, petroleum products are a major source of PAHs in the environment and all the sampled cars in the study had combustion engines. Consequently, car dust is more likely to be polluted with PAHs stemming from petroleum combustion. Although previous investigations have noted an increase in heavy metals and brominated flame retardants with decreasing dust particles, this is the first study analyzing these SVOCs in different fractions of dust from various microenvironments. However, aside from two specific microenvironments, the observed pattern of escalating SVOC concentrations with smaller dust particle sizes was not corroborated among the examined microenvironments. This divergence in concentration trends suggests the potential involvement of supplementary variables in influencing SVOC distributions within dust particles.

CAR PARKING NEEDS ANALYSIS AT CAMPUS A, JAKARTA STATE UNIVERSITY IN THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD

Parking is the main supporting facility in the campus environment. Jakarta State University (UNJ) is one of the state universities in the DKI Jakarta province. The increase in the number of UNJ students every year certainly causes an increase in the need for parking, especially on Campus A UNJ as the main campus. Coupled with a construction project in Campus A UNJ, the parking area, especially car parking, is getting narrower. Based on these problems, it is necessary to research parking arrangements at Campus A UNJ. This study aims to determine the need for parking and arrange the car parking area for Campus A UNJ according to the demand for car parking space that existed during the construction period. The parking space arrangement for Campus A UNJ considers UNJ's policy as the manager in allocating parking spaces in the future. Primary data was obtained by conducting a field survey using the number plate survey method and PSU calculation survey while secondary data was obtained from UNJ parking inventory data. Primary data were obtained by conducting field surveys on 29 May-31 May and 8-9 June. The results showed that the value of the need for car parking in 2023 was 367 PSU cars, while the number of parking lots available at Campus A UNJ was 389 PSU. The peak day occurs on Tuesday 30 May 2023 and the peak hour for parking accumulation occurs at 13.00-14.00 WIB. With a parking index close to 100%, this can make it difficult for drivers to find an empty parking space, especially considering the pattern of car parking in the UNJ campus A parking area rotates in one direction so that the opportunity to find an empty parking space during peak parking hours only has a one-time or one-time chance. parking spaces at peak parking hours only have a one-time chance or the driver must first exit the parking lot and then enter again to find an empty parking space. The arrangement of car parking modeling will also be presented in this article. It is hoped that the results of this early-stage research can provide an overview and recommendations on parking management methods at Campus A UNJ.

ANALISA KEBUTUHAN LAHAN PARKIR PASAR PURI PATI

Puri Market, which is located on Jalan Colonel Sunandar, precisely in the center of Pati Regency, is a traditional market which is the basis for the people of Pati to sell and buy all life-sustaining needs. This needs to be taken into account considering that the existence of an activity center must have as few parking areas as possible. Therefore, this study was carried out with the aim of providing recommendations for parking characteristics, parking space capacity and planning the most optimal parking layout for Puri Pati Market. Conditions are reviewed on 1 weekend and 3 weekdays. Namely Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. From 06.00 to 12.00. The data used in this research are primary data and secondary data. The results of the research are that the characteristics of motorbike parking spaces for the Puri Pati Market area are 345 SRP which is in accordance with the 1996 Directorate General of Land Transportation standards. At Puri Pati Market There are also no entrances and exits that use electronic parking. With the existing motorbike parking space capacity of 280 SRP at Puri Pati Market, it can still meet existing parking needs. From the calculations that have been carried out, it is known that the need for motorbike parking space at Puri Pati Market is 345 SRP. In planning the parking layout using a 90º angle in the motorbike and car parking area as planned, namely being able to accommodate 280 motorbikes and 100 cars. With a comparison using an angle of 60º, we get only 152 motorbikes and 80 cars per plot.

고시원 피난계단 폭의 변화에 따른 피난 안전성 평가

This study focused on the fact that multiple living facilities (gosiwons) can have more rooms on the same site by taking advantage of the fact that the parking area is smaller than the parking lot area (as stipulated by the parking lot law) and multifamily housing, and further evaluated the performance-oriented design of a gosiwon's firefighting facilities. By creating a scenario using standard guidelines (2021), fire and evacuation simulation programs were used to calculate the evacuation time according to life safety standards, with the number of people who could evacuate being calculated according to the change in the width of the escape stairs at the Gosiwon facility. As a result of this analysis, the group that underwent evacuation training and Scenario 6, in which the width of the evacuation stairs was expanded to 2m, showed the shortest evacuation time of 296.3 seconds. As a result of conducting an evacuation simulation for the same building without changing the width of the stairs and fire drills, the evacuation time was shortened by 165.2 seconds from the evacuation time of 461.5 seconds. As a result of this analysis, it is necessary to add the width of the evacuation stairs to the types of safety facilities under the Multi-Use Business Act so as to improve the evacuation safety of gosiwons. In addition, multi-use establishments with 11 or more floors were added to the fire training and education targets as stipulated in the Fire Prevention Act, allowing training to be conducted together with fire agencies, thereby securing evacuation safety and laying the foundation for the revision of the laws.

A matter of space and perspective – Cyclists’, car drivers’, and pedestrians’ assumptions about subjective safety in shared traffic situations

Subjective safety has been considered a key factor for a successful promotion of cycling. As of yet, subjective safety and the factors affecting it have been studied almost exclusively from the cyclists’ perspective. However, subjective safety is largely determined by the interaction of cyclists with other road users. We thus argue that it is crucial to assess the subjective safety different road user groups associate with shared road situations, because street designs that increase the subjective safety of one group may have negative impacts on the subjective safety of another group. For this purpose, we conducted a large-scale, web-based survey presenting computer-generated 2D images showing various traffic situations. The entire pool of images included 1,900 variations and combinations of road designs. About 21,500 individual participants provided about 460,000 estimates with regard to the safety they associated with travelling at the shown location from the perspective of cyclists, car drivers, or pedestrians. Our analysis with generalized mixed models focused on three base scenarios and the comparison of the different perspectives: Side streets were perceived as unsafe by both cyclists and car drivers. A prominent designation as a cycling boulevard had highly positive effects, especially for cyclists. On main streets, cyclists and car drivers rated mixed traffic without cycling infrastructure as very unsafe, and situations with cyclists travelling on protected bike lanes as very safe. Whereas car drivers rated all types of cycling lanes as safe, this did not generally apply to cyclists. In particular, narrow cycling lanes adjacent to parked cars felt unsafe for cyclists. We hypothesize that this discrepancy has a self-reinforcing mechanism: Research on risk-taking suggests that the low risk perception of car drivers leads to more risky behavior (e.g. overtaking cyclists with higher speed and less lateral clearance), which in turn decreases the subjective safety of cyclists. We found an inverted pattern for sidewalks, where cyclists felt mostly safe, and the more vulnerable pedestrians did not (especially if there was no clear indication of lanes for both groups). Taken together, our research sheds light on an as-of-yet rather under-researched issue: the perception of a traffic situation may vary significantly depending on the perspective and transportation mode of a road user. More specifically, our findings suggest that the subjective safety of vulnerable road users in a traffic situation can be negatively affected by the perception of this situation by the less vulnerable road users. We present recommendations about road designs that feel safe for all road user groups.

Car Detection for Smart Parking Systems Based on Improved YOLOv5

Nowadays, YOLOv5 is one of the most popular object detection network architectures used in real-time and industrial systems. Traffic management and regulation are typical applications. To take advantage of the YOLOv5 network and develop a parking management tool, this paper proposes a car detection network based on redesigning the YOLOv5 network architecture. This research focuses on network parameter optimization using lightweight modules from EfficientNet and PP-LCNet architectures. On the other hand, this work also presents an aerial view dataset for car detection tasks in the parking, named the AVPL. The proposed network is trained and evaluated on two benchmark datasets which are the Car Parking Lot Dataset and the Pontifical Catholic University of Parana+ Dataset and one proposed dataset. The experiments are reported on mAP@0.5 and mAP@0.5:0.95 measurement units. As a result, this network achieves the best performances at 95.8%, 97.4%, and 97.0% of mAP@0.5 on the Car Parking Lot Dataset, the Pontifical Catholic University of Parana+ Dataset, and the proposed AVPL dataset, respectively. A set of demonstration videos and the proposed dataset are available here: https://bit.ly/3YUoSwi .

A Method for the Determination of Balance Coefficient and Elevator Braking Torque in a Tower Parking Car System

Multistory car parking systems are a solution that brings many benefits, especially in urban areas as the number of cars increases. This study investigated the elevator of a multistory car parking system to determine the balance coefficient to reduce driving power and the influence on braking torque. The parameters were calculated based on the establishment of a planning matrix and using the calculation tools and the Taguchi method in the Minitab software. A formula was developed to calculate the braking torque of an elevator, considering the coefficient of the balancing system to ensure optimal driving power. The balance coefficient and the necessary braking torque were determined and the power was reduced by 17.5% while the braking torque was increased by 13.4% compared to the conventional method.

Qualitative research for improving positive health in deprived neighbourhoods

Abstract Background There has been increased interest in the concept of ‘Positive Health’ in recent years, as it includes the ability to deal with physical, emotional and social life challenges. We used quantitative data to illustrate the positive health ‘spiderwebs’ for various deprived neighbourhoods. As this data did not provide information on personal experiences and barriers faced, qualitative data from the residents’ point of view were used to complete the positive health spiderweb. Methods Qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with residents and professionals from eight deprived neighbourhoods in The Hague, The Netherlands were used to supplement quantitative data from a recent national health survey. The interviewed professionals worked in and with the community in the field of health and wellbeing. Participants were asked about what is going well in the neighbourhood and what was needed to improve the health and wellbeing of residents. Transcripts were coded and analysed to identify key themes per neighbourhood. Results Compared to the average score of the city, the neighbourhood spiderwebs showed unfavourable results on all domains. Interviews with residents and professionals highlighted aspects of the living environment as a priority, such as (useable) green space, environmental safety (traffic, parked cars, safe crossings), lack of (free) space and waste management. These aspects negatively affected the health and exercise habits of the residents. Though data on living environment is collected in national surveys, the qualitative approach provides more detail on the current priorities of residents. Conclusions This research shows the key role which living environment plays in the health of people in deprived neighbourhoods. Also, it illustrates the value of using the needs and experiences of residents to shape interventions addressed at improving positive health. Key messages • Addressing health of residents in deprived neighbourhoods of the city of The Hague requires a broader approach that includes environmental factors. • When trying to improve health in neighbourhoods, it is pertinent that existing quantitative data is supplemented with qualitative data from residents themselves.

Contamination characteristics in runoff fractions from a nuclear facility in São Paulo, Brazil.

The stormwater runoff may act as a nonpoint pollutant source and contributes to aquatic ecosystem quality decay in urban environments. The aim of this work was to evaluate the runoff characteristics on the transport of total solids and total metals, as well as pH and conductivity responses during the rainfall evolution. During 2017 and 2018, 12 rain events were monitored in 4 sampling stations at a car parking lot located at Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN/CNEN) in São Paulo/Brazil. A 4-chamber integrated collector allowed the sequential/temporal runoff evolution assessment. The runoff composition, in decreasing order of quantities, was Ca > K > Mg > Si > Al > Fe > Na > Zn > Mn > Sr > Ti > Mo > V > Cu > B > Pb > Ni > Ce > Sb > Cr > La > U > Th > Cd. The amount of total solids, Al, and Fe exceeded the Brazilian water quality standards. Principal component analysis (PCA) identified the elemental clusters linked to the facility activity, soil, and traffic/atmospheric-related deposition. The results show that the runoff characteristics could be differentiated by pollutant source. Factors such as seasonal variation, rain event intensity, air mass from oceanic or continental origin, spatial distribution inside the monitoring area, and the intensity of the first flush must be considered in order to disentangle the elemental clusters and pollution source contributions. In winter, continental air masses were associated with higher concentrations of heavy metals in the surface runoff. Spatial changes with no seasonal variation were observed for U, Th, La, and Ce.

Evaluation of the energy-economic-environment potential of urban-scale photovoltaic bus parking lots: The case of Tianjin, China

Integrating urban bus parking lots with photovoltaics is an important solution to promote carbon neutrality and net zero emissions in transportation systems. Except for the research on the integration of photovoltaics with car parking lots and bus roofs, not much attention has been paid to photovoltaic bus parking lots so far. We develop a new methodology for evaluating the potential of urban-scale photovoltaic bus parking lots. We use Google Earth, Baidu Panorama Map, Grasshopper, UAV, and PVSYST to evaluate the electrical generation potential of the bus parking lots integrated with photovoltaics in the central urban area of Tianjin. Considering the actual driving conditions of buses, the operating income and expenditure, and lifecycle energy demand, we evaluate the charging potential, economic feasibility, and environmental benefits of photovoltaic bus parking lots. The results show that the electrical generation of photovoltaic bus parking lot in the first year is 53971.96 MWh, which can meet the normal operation of 50% electric buses. When the self-use ratio of photovoltaic bus parking lot electrical generation is 40%, 80% and 100%, the system will reach the balance of payments in the 6.21st, 4.79th and 4.31st year respectively. The energy payback time of the photovoltaic bus parking system is 4.00 years. Our research demonstrates that photovoltaic bus parking lots have significant potential as one of the strategies for low-carbon and green transportation development in China. We also discuss policy measures that can promote their large-scale application. Finally, the method proposed in this study can help evaluate and understand the feasibility of charging electric buses by integrating photovoltaics in bus parking lots covering large-scale urban areas, thereby supporting decision-making and better planning of PV-integrated bus parking lot.
