Abstract

Charging scheduling systems and methods for electric buses for use in at least one electric bus and a cloud management module are provided. First, a current location of the electric bus is obtained by a positioning unit of the electric bus and a current power state of a battery module of the electric bus is detected by a battery detection unit of the electric bus. A route corresponding to the electric bus is obtained by the cloud management module, wherein the route includes at least one charging point, and records a location of the charging point and a charging efficiency of at least one charging equipment installed at the charging point. Then, the cloud management module determines whether the electric bus needs to be charged with the charging equipment at the charging point according to the current location and the current power state of the electric bus.
