The proposed SIM-FC system will have three key attributes: • A real-time digital map of the yard, including bus parking areas and maintenance bays, which displays the live vehicle location (ideally refreshed every 5-10 seconds) for all propulsion types • Automated yard management which will identify and assign specific service blocks to available vehicles, facilitated by integration with SFMTA’s existing technology systems including: service scheduling system, Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system, and vehicle telematics system(s) • A Charge Management System (CMS) which manages the charging of their electric vehicles, including how much energy is dispensed into each electric vehicle based on existing battery state of charge (SOC) and its upcoming assigned service schedule via interfaces vehicles, charging infrastructure, and utility infrastructure behind the meter
