Station Utilisation Forecasting

Project information:

  • Category: Software engineer internship
  • Year: 2022
  • Location: Evotrack, London, UK

My internship role is a software engineer focussing on data analysis and machine learning. My project encompassed a range of tasks, including leveraging Google Maps APIs for proximity analysis, generating diagnostic visuals for Paris charging station data, and deploying a station clustering algorithm.

K-means clustering of stations based on geometric location.

A pivotal focus was training a gradient boosting regressor, forecasting charging station usage using historical data and facility density. During this project, I have developed excellent programming skills and machine learning knowledge by exploring all challenging tasks independently.
