During electric vehicle trials and pilot projects, clients may wish to monitor vehicle performance, impact on charging infrastructure, changes in user behaviour, effect on air quality or a range of other measures. Future Transport Systems therefore provides comprehensive data collection, monitoring, analysis and modeling.
To provide world class technology and services we have built a team of experts to integrate data collection, data warehousing, qualitative and quantitative analysis and modeling to provide a complete suite of expertise, managed through a single point and project team.
On-board CANBUS and OBD sourced data is harvested via hardware developed by automotive control systems developer,
Comesys Limited.
Comesys has worked closely with
Newcastle University's Transport Operations Research Group (TORG) who provide data harvesting, storage and subsequent analysis and modeling. TORG are recognised as having world class expertise in this area as well as in off-board environmental data collection and analysis.
The partnership also includes specialists from
Durham University's School of Engineering and Computing Science who have expertise in low voltage network analysis and work with Future Transport Systems on predicting, managing and monitoring the impact of charge points on the electrical distribution infrastructure.
In bringing this group together, alongside internal expertise and that within sister company, TNEI, Future Transport Systems can manage exceptionally comprehensive research projects covering electric vehicle performance, infrastructure performance, user behaviour and impacts on the environment and the traffic flow.
