The mobility data for vehicles should be provided in the following format:
| Date | Time | Latitude | Longitude | Altitude | Speed | Distance* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| yyyy-mm-dd | hh:mm:ss | [degrees] | [degrees] | [meters] | [km/h] | [meters] |
*Note: The Distance column is optional. If you are not including Distance, please do not create this column in your input file.
The input format of the solar PV data should be exactly as given by SAM (System Advisor Model). To use this data, ensure the file is saved in the correct directory with the name "Solar_Information.csv."
The units and format of all other input parameters required are described in the input file, which is automatically generated when the scenario is initialized.
