Step 4. Validate your results
After importing your file, and at the end of the calculation, the Optimise module allows you to view the results on a map or in a table:
- When you click on 'Map', you will see that all the tested locations on the map are now coloured from red to green. This shows the net impact of the location on the whole network. Red locations have a low net impact, while green locations have a high net impact.
- When you click on 'Table', you will see the results for each site in the list as well as extra information: Potential, # of electric cars, FTE, welfare, density, local activity.
The table shows the list of all the tested locations together with the following information:
- Usage: Predicted annual usage in kWh/year for the charging location in total
- Usage per charging point: Predicted annual ussage in kWh per charging point
- Net impact on brand: the net impact on the entire own brand (including cannibalisation on other own locations)
- Local activity <30min: Number of visits per year with a duration less then 30 minutes within a radius of 300m
- Local activity 30min-2h: Number of visits per year with a duration between 30min - 2h within a radius of 300m
- Local activity >2h: Number of visits per year with a duration >2h within a radius of 300m
- Car passage: number of cars passing by per week
- # UF charging points 3 mins: Number of ultrafast charging points within 3mins car drivetime
- # F charging points 3 mins:Number of fast charging points within 3mins car drivetime
- # UF charging points 10 mins: Number of ultrafast charging points within 10mins car drivetime
- # F charging points 10 mins: umber of fast charging points within 10mins car drivetime
- Ad hoc price charging point DC : Price per kWh for (ultra)fast charge
- Average power of the ultrafast charging points : Average power of all ultrafast charging points of the site
- Average power of the fast charging points : Average power of all fast charging points of the site
- Maximale power of the ultrafast charging points : Maximale power of all the ultrafast charging points of the site
- Maximale power of the fast charging points : Maximale power of all the fast charging points of the site
- Employees 10 mins: Number of people working within 10min car drivetime
- Urbanization 10 mins: Population density (inh/km²) within an environment of 10min car drivetime
- Wealth index 10 mins: Average wealth within an environment of 10min car drivetime
It is possible to use sort / filter functionalities on the table:
- You can sort on a column by clicking on a column ('low to high' vs 'high to low' vs 'no sort')
- You can filter on a column by clicking on
when you hoover over a column. You can choose between the following filtering functionalities
- If a column is filtered, you can see it in the column name indicated with this icon
- If you have applied filtering on the 'Table', you can go to the 'Map': if the option
is selected, the same filtering will be applied on the 'Map'. If you deselect
, the 'Map' will show all test locations without taking into account the applied filtering in the 'Table'.
- You can remove filtering in the 'Table' section by pressing on the filtered column
Because our model works with travel times to calculate predictions, locations located in a large parking may lead to poor results. If this is the case, we recommend updating the traveltimes by selecting a road segment close to the entrance of the parking. This will lead to a more accurate result. This can be done in next step
