About

Wentao Jing is a leading researcher in sustainable transportation systems, with a primary focus on the operational planning and infrastructure design of electric bus fleets. His most influential work, "Battery-swapping facility planning for electric buses with local charging systems" (2019, 116 citations), addresses a critical bottleneck in electric bus adoption: the trade-off between battery-swapping speed and charging infrastructure. In this seminal paper, Jing models a hybrid refueling system where battery-swapping stations (BSSs) are augmented by local charging systems, recognizing that service capacity is constrained by the number of swapping robots. By optimizing the balance between robot deployment and on-site charging, his work provides a practical framework for transit agencies to reduce downtime and capital costs. This contribution has been widely cited by researchers and practitioners working on electric vehicle infrastructure, fleet electrification, and logistics optimization. Jing’s research bridges theoretical modeling with real-world transit constraints, making him a key voice in the transition to zero-emission public transportation. His work continues to inform policy and engineering decisions for cities worldwide.
