Future Transport Systems uses varied data sets and the most up to date thinking to develop electric vehicle and infrastructure roll out strategies.
Using GIS (Geographical Information Systems) and electrical network modelling expertise we are able to design the layout of electric vehicle charging infrastructure based on criteria provided by regional organisations, vehicle manufacturers, infrastructure suppliers, distribution network operators etc. Scenario modelling is used to understand how usage might develop and how this might impact upon the electrical distribution network.
Future Transport Systems works with stakeholders to predict the pace at which charging/refuelling infrastructure might be required and plan how it it should be installed to facilitate electric vehicle use, minimise range anxiety, enable longer journeys and raise awareness of the new technologies.
Multi-modal transport solutions can be incorporated into strategies whereby electric vehicles are linked with car clubs, bicycle storage and public or private sector transport hubs to create new low carbon transport hubs.
Future Transport Systems specialises in integrating technologies and draws on sister company, TNEI's extensive expertise to develop solutions that link electric vehicle charging infrastructure with renewable energy and storage technologies. Performance monitoring, data collection and data analysis technologies and systems can also be included to underpin effective implementation programmes.
Infrastructure design can include realistic programmes and budgets based on up to date experience of procurement processes, technology costs and availability, planning and permitting timescales, installation costs and time scales. Guidance can also be provided in relation to infrastructure commercial and operating models.
