This project is supported by Intelligent Green Technology Research Hub which is a joint research lab between AUT and CNBM. The Hub drives innovation in sustainable mobility and energy technologies, focusing on renewable energy, energy storage, smart charging (including V2G), and intelligent routing for Electric Connected Autonomous Vehicles (ECAVs). Through cutting-edge research in federated deep reinforcement learning, we aim to develop cooperative strategies that optimise energy efficiency and route planning. By combining real-world traffic, energy, and environmental data, the Hub is building next-generation low-carbon intelligent systems.
