Car Movement Pattern Data

Introduction to the project

The driving patterns of cars is an important factor for how electric and hybrid electric vehicles are able to charge and maximise use of their batteries. This will affect the economy of the individual owner, the development and dimensioning of cars, as well as the infrastructure and expansion of charging stations.

To improve and support possibilities for the development of the infrastructure and electrical systems, data of drive patterns and vehicle usage will be needed.

More info on this project is available on the project home page hosted by Chalmers University of Technology.

Goal

The project goal is to collect movement data (e.g. daily driving distances) from 500 conventional cars in western Sweden.

The collected data will be transfered to the TSS Vehicle Research Database. 

Partners

This project performed at the department of Physical Resource Theory at Chalmers institution for Energy and environment, Test Site Sweden at Lindholmen Science Park and Consat. The project is also financed by the Swedish Energy Agency, Göteborg Energi, Vattenfall, Lindholmen Science Park and Telenor.
