# Calculate in batch your optimal characteristic to optimize your network

The **Optimal location characteristics** **project** is an automated solution designed to test in batch changes to the characteristics of your existing locations (such as price, number of chargers, etc.).

The main goal is to help you **quickly** and **efficiently** assess **how specific modifications to your locations may impact their performance**, without having to manually configured and test each simulation one by one, as it's the case in Location Planning.

### **How the project automatically processes each location**

1.  **Modified locations are imported**: you start by selecting the existing locations you want to modify and uploading them with the adjusted characteristics (e.g. decreased price).
2.  **Evaluation by the model**: for each modified location, the  model will recalculate the predicted potential based on the new values you uploaded.
3.  **Independent analysis**: each site is evaluated individually to ensure results are clear and not affected by other changes.

### **What the project will give you at the end of the calculation**

-   **All results are compiled into a summary table** showing the results for each modified location, such as global predicted usage, predicted usage per segment, the brand impact, etc.
-   **Locations are displayed on the map**, with a **color gradient** where the tested locations are displayed with a **color gradient** that highlights the impact on your network of each modified site, allowing for quick comparisons.

This project allows you to **test the impact of different characteristics on your own locations** within a single project, and compare the outcomes in a consistent and structured way. It is particularly useful when analyzing **optimization scenarios** suc resizing locations in terms of charging points, price analyses, etc.

### **How it works**

To start an **O****ptimal location characteristics** project, you have to follow the steps below:

1.  [**Create a project**](https://kb.chargeplanner.ai/en/article/create-a-project)
2.  [**Select a period**](https://kb.chargeplanner.ai/en/article/select-a-period)
3.  [**Choose a dataset**](https://kb.chargeplanner.ai/en/article/choose-a-data-set)
4.  [**Fill the template**](https://kb.chargeplanner.ai/en/article/fill-the-template)
5.  [**Upload the template**](https://kb.chargeplanner.ai/en/article/upload-the-template)
6.  [**Calculate the project**](https://kb.chargeplanner.ai/en/article/calculate-the-project)
7.  [**Validate the results**](https://kb.chargeplanner.ai/en/article/results-interpretation-guide-after-caluclation) 
8.  [**Analyze and select relevant locations for further analyses**](https://kb.chargeplanner.ai/en/article/reviewing-and-working-with-your-project-results)
9.  [**Export results**](https://kb.chargeplanner.ai/en/article/export-results)
