This toolkit produces, at the census block group level, predictions of the spatial distribution of Plug-In Electric Vehicles (PEVs) and the workplace charging demand of those vehicles.
UC Davis researchers previously created a geographic information systems (GIS) tool to measure electric vehicle distribution in California. This project expands the tool to encompass the whole country.
UC Davis researchers adapted a previously developed GIS planning toolbox to be used outside of California, collaborating with the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission to develop a case study for using this toolbox for EV infrastructure planning in the Greater Philadelphia region.
The UC Davis Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Research Center hosted a seminar demonstrating its free GIS Electric Vehicle Charger Planning Toolbox to plan market distribution, fast charging, and workplace charging for electric vehicles.
This set of planning tools comes from a project that studied land use, transportation planning, and smart growth/sustainable communities strategies in California.
The project will help centralize and assess evacuation routes, and assess their capacity
for evacuation. It will help inform infrastructure investment priority decisions, as it will identify the
road segments with the largest impact on the evacuation route/network performance.
