Abstract

, especially urban transportation. Issues that are considered in relation to transportation are related to reducing climate change, reducing air pollution and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. This stems from the fact that the transportation system is one of the largest sources of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In relation to the negative effects of air pollution on human life and health as well as the entire ecosystem, the emission of air pollutants from transportation must be drastically reduced without delay. Considering such risks, urban public transportation, especially public urban bus transportation, is an important incentive for the implementation and development of renewable energy in transportation. In this research, all the articles that have been reviewed in the Scopus ScienceDirect databases, which use the keywords "Renewable energy", "urban transport", "bus", and from these reviews, 18 articles out of a total of 53 articles in the database scopus and 32 articles from a total of 100 articles were selected in the sciencedirect database. Using a quantitative technique called meta-analysis as a technique for quantitative research synthesis, multiple studies have been used. The obtained criteria and components include: environmental and economic factors, infrastructural factors, background factors as well as types of charging and chargers. Finally, by examining the content of all the articles, the findings have been classified and led to criteria and solutions.
