Short summary
In this paper we investigate the application of a solar-powered bus route to a small-scale transportation system, as such of a university campus. We investigate three different scenarios: (1) solar panels installed on the roof of bus stop shelters, (2) solar panels installed at unused open space in the university, and (3) solar roads, i.e. roads constructed by photovoltaic (PV) materials. We conclude that scenario (2) presents the lowest capital cost in relation to energy generation.
