Workshop on Decision-Support Tools for Transport Electrification: Methods, Models, and Applications

The electrification of transportation is one of the most significant transformations in the path toward a sustainable and low-carbon future. Yet, the transition requires more than just new technologies — it depends on robust decision-support tools capable of integrating data, forecasting demand, optimizing charging, and aligning technical advances with environmental and social goals.

To advance this conversation, McGill University will host the Workshop on Decision-Support Tools for Transport Electrification: Methods, Models, and Applications, with the support of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).

This half-day workshop brings together researchers from Montréal’s leading universities — McGill, Polytechnique Montréal, and Concordia — to share their latest work in transport electrification. The presentations will span a wide range of topics, including:

• Modeling of vehicle and fleet energy consumption under real-world conditions

• Optimization of charging infrastructure and power demand management

• Battery health and life-cycle analysis

• Integration of electric mobility into smart grids

• Environmental and sustainability metrics for urban transport planning

The goal of this event is to foster dialogue, share data-driven methods, and strengthen collaborations across disciplines and institutions. By connecting research outcomes to policy and real-world applications, the workshop aims to accelerate Canada’s transition to cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable mobility systems.

🗓️ Date: 23/10/2025

📍 Location: McDonald’s Engineering Building (MD267 – Seminar Room), McGill University, Montréal

🕘 Schedule: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (Breakfast & networking included)

Speakers will include representatives from McGill’s IMaTS Lab, Polytechnique Montréal’s transport and energy research groups, and Concordia’s sustainability and electric mobility teams.
