COMMUNICATION METHOD BETWEEN THE ELECTRIC BUS AND BATTERY EXCHANGE STATION, AND A ELECTRIC BUS THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a communications method and an electric bus, wherein the communications method is used by the electric bus to request a battery exchange reservation from a battery exchange station. According to the present invention, the electric bus includes a battery part, an exchange determination part, a first communications part, a second communications part, and a control part. The battery part is prepared to enable a battery to be attached and detached for exchange. The exchange determination part detects a charge level of the battery while the battery is mounted, and determines whether to exchange the battery based on the detected charge level. The first communications part communicates with a battery exchange station. The second communications part communicates with another electric bus capable of performing communications. If the exchange determination part determines to exchange the battery, the control part determines whether the first communications part operates normally. If the first communications part is determined to have a failure, the control part transmits battery exchange request information to the another electric bus capable of performing communications through the second communications part, and requests the another electric bus to deliver the transmitted battery exchange request information to the battery exchange station.
