This project will explore and develop machine learning methods to predict energy consumption for commercial heavy-duty vehicles, e.g. city buses and electric trucks. Interesting research topics include: i) exploring deep neural networks (e.g. CNNs, RNNs, or GNNs) for time-series forecasting; ii) fleet-based regression and interactive clustering; iii) learning energy consumption using spatial-temporal data in a grid map setting.
