Abstract
Geo-TIDE is a public, interactive decision-support tool developed by the MIT Climate &
Sustainability Consortium (MCSC) to help trucking industry stakeholders identify and evaluate early opportunities for fleet and infrastructure decarbonization. By integrating public geospatial datasets such as regional freight flows, policy incentives, and spatially resolved cost and emissions models, Geo-TIDE enables data-driven decisions about where, when, and how to invest in low-carbon technologies. In this technical guide, Danika Eamer (who has led the development of Geo-TIDE) and co-authors Micah Borrero, Brooke Bao, Brilant Kasami, and Helena De Figueiredo Valente detail the tool’s functionality, showcase real-world usage scenarios, and explore the methodology behind its evolution and development.
