Visualization Tool for Electric Vehicle Charge and Range

Analysis

Project Description
A vehicle that can be powered by an electric motor that draws electricity from a battery and is capable
of being charged from an external source and have an electric motor instead of an internal
combustion engine.

The Electric Vehicle (EV) is not new, but it has been receiving significantly more attention in recent
years. Advances in both EV analytics and battery technologies have led to increased automotive
market share. However, this growth is not attributed to hardware alone. The modern mechatronic
vehicle marries electrical storage and propulsion systems with electronic sensors, controls, and
actuators, integrated closely with software, secure data transfer, and data analysis, to form a
comprehensive transportation solution. Advances in all these areas have contributed to the overall
rise of EV’s, but the common thread that runs through all these elements is data analytics.

The new EV’s are combined Electrical storage and propulsion systems with electronic sensors,
controls, and actuators, integrated closely with software, secure data transfer to form a
comprehensive transportation solution.

Milestone 1: Define Problem / Problem Understanding
Activity 1: Specify the business problem
Refer Project Description

Activity 2: Business requirements

The business requirements for analyzing the performance and efficiency of Electric
cars include identifying KPIs, comparing performance across different parameters
and brands also, identifying patterns and trends over time, identifying affecting
factors, creating interactive dashboards and reports, identifying areas for
improvement, making data-driven decisions, comparing to industry average and
creating forecasting models for future performance. The ultimate goal is to gain
insights and improve performance through data visualization techniques.

Activity 3: Literature Survey (Student Will Write)

A literature survey is a method of researching existing literature and studies related to a
specific topic. In the context of analyzing the performance and efficiency of electric
vehicles, a literature survey would involve reviewing studies and articles that have been
published on the topic of hotel performance and efficiency, as well as studies specific to
electric vehicles.The literature survey would include sources such as academic journals,
industry reports, and online articles. It would aim to identify key performance indicators
(KPIs) and metrics that are commonly used to measure hotel performance and
efficiency, as well as any best practices or strategies that have been identified for
improving performance.The literature survey would also explore any existing research
on electric vehicles specifically, and would aim to identify any unique challenges or
opportunities that the electric vehicles faces in terms of performance and efficiency

Activity 4: Social or Business Impact.

Social Impact: By solving or helping to solve the biggest issue in EV market. More
people will understand and but the EV instead of ICE’s.

Business Model/Impact: This project can provide the insights for the Car/Battery
Manufacturers and it can also provide the insights for the people who are using the
EV or Thinking to enter in EV Market.

Milestone 3: Data Preparation

Activity 1: Prepare the Data for Visualization

Preparing the data for visualization involves cleaning the data to remove irrelevant or missing
data, transforming the data into a format that can be easily visualized, exploring the data to
identify patterns and trends, filtering the data to focus on specific subsets of data, preparing
the data for visualization software, and ensuring the data is accurate and complete. This
process helps to make the data easily understandable and ready for creating visualizations to
gain insights into the performance and efficiency.

Milestone 4: Data Visualization
Data visualization is the process of creating graphical representations of data in order to help people
understand and explore the information. The goal of data visualization is to make complex data sets
more accessible, intuitive, and easier to interpret. By using visual elements such as charts, graphs,
and maps, data visualizations can help people quickly identify patterns, trends, and outliers in the
data.

Milestone 5: Dashboard
A dashboard is a graphical user interface (GUI) that displays information and data in an organized,
easy-to-read format. Dashboards are often used to provide real-time monitoring and analysis of data,
and are typically designed for a specific purpose or use case. Dashboards can be used in a variety of
settings, such as business, finance, manufacturing, healthcare, and many other industries. They can
be used to track key performance indicators (KPIs), monitor performance metrics, and display data in
the form of charts, graphs, and tables.

Activity :1- Responsive and Design of Dashboard

Once you have created views on different sheets in Tableau, you can pull them into a
dashboard.

Milestone 6: Story
A data story is a way of presenting data and analysis in a narrative format, with the goal of making the
information more engaging and easier to understand. A data story typically includes a clear
introduction that sets the stage and explains the context for the data, a body that presents the data
and analysis in a logical and systematic way, and a conclusion that summarizes the key findings and
highlights their implications. Data stories can be told using a variety of mediums, such as reports,
presentations, interactive visualizations, and videos.

Activity:1- No of Scenes of Story

Milestone 7: Performance Testing

Activity 1: Amount of Data Rendered to DB

● The amount of data that is rendered to a database depends on the size of the
dataset and the capacity of the database to store and retrieve data.

● Open the MySQL Workbench, go to the database then click to expand the
tables,select the table and click on (i) button to get the information related to
table such as column count,table rows etc.
