1. A method for identifying and displaying on a graphical user-interface one or more locations for placement of one or more replenishment stations for one or more vehicles, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by one or more processors, a historical demand data at a plurality of existing replenishment stations within a pre-defined area;

    identifying, by the one or more processors, one or more point of interest locations within the pre-defined area based on a map data;

    receiving, by the one or more processors, traffic information between a plurality of road intersections within the pre-defined area, from one or more sensors;

    for each existing replenishment station of the plurality of existing replenishment stations, determining, by the one or more processors;

    first distances to each of the existing replenishment stations,second distances to each road intersection within the pre-defined area, anda count of the one or more point of interest locations within a predetermined radius of the existing replenishment station;

    creating, by the one or more processors;

    a first replenishment prediction model based the historical demand data and the determined first distances,a second replenishment prediction model based the historical demand data, traffic information between a plurality of road intersections within the pre-defined area, and the second distances, anda third replenishment prediction model based on the historical demand data and the determined count of the one or more point of interest locations;

    instructing, by one or more processors, the graphical user-interface to display a map of the pre-defined area;

    receiving, by one or more processors, one or more user-selected locations within the pre-defined area;

    determining, by the one or more processors, a first demand prediction, a second demand prediction, and a third demand prediction based on the first replenishment prediction model, the second replenishment prediction model, and the third replenishment prediction model, respectively, and the received one or more user-selected locations;

    predicting, by the one or more processors, a replenishment demand at the one or more user-selected locations within the pre-defined area based on an aggregation of the first demand prediction, the second demand prediction, and the third demand prediction; and

    identifying on the graphical user-interface, by the one or more processors, the one or more locations from the one or more user-selected locations for placement of the one or more replenishment stations based on the predicted replenishment demand at the one or more user-selected locations and a pre-defined threshold.
