arXiv:2609.29998v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electrification of urban bus systems is expected to accelerate due to its clear environmental benefits. However, effective electric bus deployment requires planning tools that can support decision-making on electrification strategies while balancing operational feasibility, costs, environmental benefits, and impacts on the local electricity grid. Such planning depends on the availability of detailed transit data, which remain scarce in many cities, particularly in developing countries. To address this gap, we present GTFS4EV, an open-source framework that uses publicly available General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data to simulate bus operations and evaluate electrification scenarios. The framework provides quantitative insights across multiple dimensions. It estimates the minimum onboard battery capacity required for each bus, alongside charging infrastructure needs, economic and environmental impacts, and the potential for solar

arXiv:2609.28578v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems is reshaping residential electricity demand and creating new challenges for demand-side management (DSM), tariff design, and low-voltage network planning. Much of the existing literature examines EV charging or PV generation in isolation, leaving the behavioral dynamics of household co-adoption less understood. We develop an integrated, two-part workflow to analyze advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) data. A discovery component applies dynamic time warping (DTW) k-means with DTW barycenter averaging to cluster daily import or export profiles into interpretable behavioral archetypes, while a predictive component trains a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) model on 21-day windows and benchmarks it against tabular baselines for PV/EV activity detection. The EV activity labels are inferred from charging-like load signatures because charger
