스마트 버스승강장 냉난방 시스템에 관한 연구 -특허 ‘지열을 이용한 냉난방 공조순환 스마트 버스승강장 시스템’을 중심으로-

This study aims to evaluate the efficiency and sustainability of the heating and cooling system in smart bus platforms, which serve as key infrastructure for smart city implementation. Specifically, the research analyzes how the system, utilizing rainwater and geothermal energy, addresses the high energy consumption problems of traditional electricity-based systems and contributes to environmental protection. The study is based on the patented technology(No. 10-2532207) that focuses on using Cooling/heating air conditioning circulation Smart Bus Platform system using geothermal heat. It conducts a comprehensive analysis of energy savings, carbon emission reduction, and economic feasibility. The effectiveness of the system's automated maintenance features is also assessed through empirical data and economic and environmental impact evaluations. The findings indicate that the geothermal and rainwater-based system significantly reduces operational costs, decreases energy consumption, and enhances public transport user satisfaction. Additionally, the implementation of an automated maintenance system ensures long-term economic efficiency. This study demonstrates that smart bus platforms hold great potential as a technology that can simultaneously achieve energy savings and environmental protection. However, the performance of the system may vary depending on local climate conditions, necessitating tailored designs and increased public awareness. Therefore, smart bus platforms have the potential to significantly contribute to sustainable urban development.
