Interpretable machine learning models for predicting Ebus battery consumption rates in cold climates with and without diesel auxiliary heating

The global shift towards sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation options has led to the increasing adoption of electric buses (Ebuses). To optimize the deployment and operational strategies of Ebuses, it is imperative to accurately predict their energy consumption under varying conditions, particularly in cold climates where battery life is typically degraded. The exploration of this aspect within the Canadian context has been …
