| AOI’s 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 | Dallas Fort Worth Clean Cities Coalition (DFWCC) was designated by the Department of Energy (DOE) as the Clean Cities Coalition serving the DFW area in 1995. Since designation, DFWCC has grown into one of the strongest Coalitions in the country and maintains a high degree of active stakeholder engagement. DFWCC is hosted within the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), which serves as both the regional planning agency for a 16-county region centered on the DFW Metroplex, and as the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for a 12-county area. The designated DFWCC service territory includes all 16 counties of the NCTCOG service area.
NCTCOG and DFWCC experience and expertise include: workforce development (NCTCOG houses Workforce Solutions of North Central Texas); transit (as the MPO, NCTCOG coordinates regional transit planning and operations); EV infrastructure (NCTCOG is coordinating closely with TxDOT on N EVI implementation); engaging with local governments (NCTCOG established regional best practices and templates, including regional code amendments, and has worked as a SolSmart Advisor to streamline solar soft costs); and has hosted National Drive Electric Week events and provided other consumer outreach. |

GridFleet is a cost-effective, accurate, fast and flexible platform to help you understand, optimize and manage the transition to EVs and supporting infrastructure for your region. GridFleet can be used to create a digital twin of local and national networks for future growth planning, forecasting EV charging profiles for a 20 year time horizon, and identifying charging needs at a postcode level while allowing mapping to key infrastructure. EVSE infrastructure deployment can be prioritized using a multi-criteria analysis therefore removing barriers to EV uptake in areas where it is most impactful, and removing the risk of laying the groundwork in sites that may never require the infrastructure or may require more than the short term plan has accounted for.
BetterFleet is a world-first platform for fleet transition planning and management for transit and other complex (mixed) fleets. With a platform that is tailored and fine-tuned for both transit and mixed fleet applications, BetterFleet enables the user to baseline their current fleet and duty cycles in order to create whole of fleet asset replacement forecasts and budgets which includes creating charging infrastructure deployment plans. An extended charge management platform is also available that is managed through direct OCPP connections between the BetterFleet software and individual charging stations. Through the establishment of clear charging and modifiable charging windows, the platform supports the user in balancing the issues of dispatch, battery management and energy management to ensure effective service delivery at the optimum cost. |

| FOA NOTICE OF INTENT DE-FOA-0002892 | ReVolt's R&D Department has been assessing the impact of transit technologies and mobility related policies on transportation decarbonization.
We have expertise in (1) individual vehicle energy consumption, performance, battery sizing, GHG as well as (2) entire transportation system (i.e., movement of people over 24h period for large metropolitan areas).
For transit, our approach includes simulation of individual vehicles (movement, operational conditions, energy), charging/refueling events at depot or in-routes and how policies (e.g., No_Lo subsidies) can improve ridership.
In addition, ReVolt has developed and implemented several optimization algorithms (e.g., battery sizing). The system simulation considers multiple metrics, including mobility, energy, emissions, GHG, vehicle drive cycles and climatic region. |

The company is known for its machine vision communication technology to support connected automated vehicles in areas where the availability of wireless communication is limited (e.g., rural areas). The technology uses smart traffic signs and low-cost on-board devices to maintain the infrastructure-to-vehicle communication when the vehicles travel outside the range of connected infrastructure.
The company continues to work on cutting-edge AI research in sustainable and smart mobility solutions and currently ready to commercialize two products as mentioned above:
1- Smart traffic signs: Providing connectivity for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles and solving their localization problem (in GPS-denied areas) by using camera-based communication (decoding the message from the sign to the vehicle or driver). The meaning/message of these traffic signs can be updated from the local authority without physically changing the sign.
2- Vision Connect (Connected Wise’s ADAS device): Providing a low-cost after-market solution for all vehicles to be safe by identifying all road objects and providing visual and audio warnings to the driver. This compact Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) device can recognize traffic signs, traffic lights (all 3 phases), vehicles, peds/cyclists/animals, and lane departure and provide advanced warnings to the driver for safer operations. |

| AoI 2: Advanced Integrated Charging System | Odyssey Semiconductor Technologies, Inc. is a semiconductor device company developing innovative high-voltage power switching components based on proprietary Gallium Nitride (GaN) processing technology. The GaN based power-switching transistors are superior to their silicon (Si) and silicon carbide (SiC) counterparts due to materials properties which allow for significantly smaller wafer area devices with equivalent breakdown voltage, on-resistance, and current handling capability. A GaN power switch can operate at switching speeds ~10x greater than SiC switches, and therefore the overall system would be smaller and lighter, ~1/4 the volume and weight. The faster operating frequency, and therefore smaller passive components, leads to less expensive systems.
Integrating Odyssey Semi GaN components into the power electronics of the inverter or onboard charger of electric vehicles and their charging stations can improve performance and reduce overall cost, mass, and volume. |
