Zap-ZERO: Zero Carbon Routing Service for EV Fleets
The Zap-ZERO Carbon Routing Service for EV Fleets offers an innovative electric vehicle (EV) fleet routing service. This service enables fleet managers and EV drivers to plan zero/low carbon intensity routes, and forecast, track, and record the carbon emissions associated with every journey and EV charging event. A key part of the project innovation is the application of machine learning to improve the current Zap-platform's routing algorithms in a highly dynamic data environment. The service provides unique data inputs to the Zap-Map routing engine, offering fleet managers/drivers the additional routing options of zero- or lowest-carbon intensity routes. It also records all carbon emissions for every journey, stored in a Journey Data Record, which is available for annual reporting. The project improves the visibility of available EV charging infrastructure and automates the planning of routes according to fleet manager/driver requirements such as most reliable, lowest cost, least time, and least carbon. All routing is fully dynamic and updated in real time in response to changes in the availability status of charge points.
