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

arXiv:2609.26838v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic failure recovery is another difficult area of DevOps deployments due to the complexity of the system, high workload and the limitations of the traditional rules-based or manual approach. This study proposes a hybrid model integrating deterministic, rule-based recovery with the assistance of machine learning by fault prediction to automatically monitor failures, identify, classify and recover failures in real time. To test the architecture, a distributed log dataset of 100,000 records was used for models such as Decision Tree, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, LightGBM, Autoencoder with BiLSTM. The Decision Tree had a strong performance in defect identification with an F1 score of 80.8%, recall of 80.0%, precision of 81.6%, and accuracy of 89.4%. An impressive 83.3% success rate was achieved by the automated recovery measures, resulting in a 94.6% decrease in mean time to recovery (MTTR), a 95.4% reduction in downtime, and
