Publication of electric bus & depot model

RouteZero, our tool for simulating the energy consumption of electricbuses on any given bus route and the grid impacts of charging them at a bus depot has been published in a Nature Portfolio special issue https://www.nature.com/articles/s44333-024-00008-2.epdf

The tool is now also availble opensource in its entirity https://github.com/bsgip/RouteZero/

While the easy to use web version remains freely available https://routezero.cecs.anu.edu.au/ has been extended to include Autearoa.

If you’d like to have further routes added to the web version please send me a message. All we need is the gtfs files (which are ubiquotously available).

Hats off once more to Johannes Hendriks for doing the heavy lifting in creating this fantastic tool!
