Electric buses (EBs) have the advantages of lower noise, higher driving stability and less emissions, which significantly reduce traffic related air pollutants and bus company operation costs. However, the short driving range is one of its tough problems. This study aims to develop an energy-saving optimization model for a pure electric bus traveling between two continuous stations to reduce energy consumption. Firstly, the state of an electric bus is divided into three steps including time expression, state of motion, and the calculation of energy consumption. Secondly, considering punctuality indicators and comfort of passengers, the optimization model for saving energy is established and solved by Immune Algorithm. Finally, the case study based on a real electric bus route in Meihekou City is conducted to verify the optimization model. The results show that the optimization model can reduce energy consumption effectively no matter whether the traffic light of the intersection is green or red.
