IEOR142-EV-registration-prediction

Goal

The goal of this project is to predict the total registration number of electric vehicles in washington.

Method

We intend to use linear regression , Cart, Random Forest and ARIMA models.

Steps

Step 1 Find the data of EV registration (dependent variable)

data processed: The total registration of EV in washington each week for each zipcode [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yvA6QSGX82xFxjYSa_GkTy_do4KOC22-9XSZPq0CU8E/edit#gid=885632676]

Step 2 Find the data of independent variables

Data should be put inside [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yvA6QSGX82xFxjYSa_GkTy_do4KOC22-9XSZPq0CU8E/edit#gid=0] (raw data description)

Possible independent variable

Household-related attributes: household size, income, location

Trip attributes: daily trips

Enegry: Price differential between gasoline and electricity, CPIenergy

Average gasoline price in the U.S.: https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/gasoline

Average Lithium-ion battery pack prices, $/kWh: https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/lithium

State/federal incentive events

Number of public-registered EV charging stations: https://openchargemap.org/site/develop/api

Step3 Clean data and generate excel/csv file

See [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yvA6QSGX82xFxjYSa_GkTy_do4KOC22-9XSZPq0CU8E/edit#gid=0] ( sheet name processed data) each independent variable should be added as a new column

Step 4 Train data with different models

Steps
1. Clone the repository to local:git clone https://github.com/RichZhou1999/IEOR142-EV-registration-prediction.git
2. Update the remote branch to local: git remote update
3. Checkout (move) to dev branch: git checkout -t origin/dev 

If you follow the above steps, you will be working at 'dev' branch. To make sure, type 'git branch'. It will show the following: 
* dev
main 

Now, if you make any file changes (add, delete, or update), you can add the files to staging by: git add <file 1> <file 2> ... 

After the files are being staged, commit by: git commit -m <msg of thhe commit>

Then push by: git push 

The changes will be pushed to origin/dev. Now start a Pull Request (PR) under Pull Requests in github. After creating the PR, make sure that someone reviews it. Only when it's reviewed, it is ready to merge to main!
