Project Objectives
The objective of this project is to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) powered, web-based toolkit that enables system-level planning and optimization of electric buses and charging infrastructure for Canadian public transit agencies.
Expected Results
This project aims to:
- Improve clean public transit affordability and reliability.
- Reduce local air and noise pollution, and GHG emissions through battery electric bus adoption.
- Provide data and advanced modelling to support electric vehicle adoption.
- Lower total cost of ownership for electric fleets while minimizing service disruptions.
- Grow municipal expertise, promote Canadian digital solutions, and reduce planning costs.
