Asia Mobiliti and Polytechnic University of Madrid produce research on EV charging infra optimisation

  • Data strategy to enhance green, multimodal flexibility in urban centres
  • Paves means for purchase in EV infra that may gain people, private stakeholders

An example of the data-driven results generated by the joint Asia Mobiliti-Blue Diplomacy and Circular Economy Research Line of the School of Civil Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid.

A research collaboration aimed at optimizing the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles ( EV ) at the Polytechnic University of Madrid ( Universidad Politécnica de Madrid ‘UPM) has been completed by Asia Mobiliti, Malaysia’s leading mobility-as-a-Service ( MaaS ) technology and digital city solutions provider, with the help of the University of California, Madrid’s ( UPM) Blue Diplomacy and Circular Economy Research Line.

Soon, the studies are expected to be released.

Kuala Lumpur as the primary test city was used as the primary focus of the project, which would develop a data-driven analytics framework to guide the proper positioning of EV chargers.

The model incorporates predicted electricity demand models based on Kuala Lumpur’s freedom patterns, which are compared to important points of interest and the city’s public transportation system.

The study provided a framework for settlements looking to expand their electric mobility systems and provided the best places, types, and quantities of EV chargers needed. As cities expand EV infrastructure while keeping pace with sustainable urban growth initiatives, this approach provides actionable insights for city planners and charging point operators ( CPOs ).

Ramachandran Muniandy, CEO and co-founder of Asia Mobiliti, said,” Our engagement with UPM signifies a major improvement in data-driven urban planning. We’ve incorporated comprehensive mobility data to create a framework that enables a more connected and sustainable multimodal transit ecosystem by identifying high-demand areas for EV charging and easily integrating them with public transportation networks.

According to Asia Mobiliti, the collaboration’s victory has provided the foundation for a new global information service that will provide useful insights to cities that are placing electricity at the top of their conservation plan. This new company aims to provide a flexible option that is compatible with cities of all sizes and transit needs in order to assist industrial centers in overcoming the difficulties of EV facilities placement and demand prediction.

The special chance this engagement offers educational institutions like UPM, which includes Prof. Pedro Fernández Carrasco, research officer and senior lecturer in charge of the research area in Blue Diplomacy and Circular Economy, highlighted the application of philosophical knowledge to practical situations.

Working with Asia Mobiliti bridges the gap between academia and industry by allowing younger talents to advance their skills within a very qualified staff at the vanguard of scientific advancement. He argued that UPM’s association with the ASEAN region and particularly Malaysia is a crucial step in fostering global research collaborations that promote sustainable development and advance wise urban solutions.

The study was supported by Asia Mobiliti and UPM’s in-house skills and amazing technology. This kind of postgraduate studies usually requires a significant amount of resources, which highlights both organizations ‘ commitment to developing novel solutions for urban mobility.

The research partnership between Asia Mobiliti and UPM opens the door to a new era of investment in EV infrastructure that benefits both public and private stakeholders by bringing about an optimal approach to cable deployment.
