==Original Abstract Submitted==

Systems and methods can identify or determine one or more of the candidate route segments of a worksite to modify in order to improve battery usage and/or battery health for one or more vehicles upon future traversal of the one or more candidate route segments by the one or more vehicles. The one or more candidate route segments can be identified using terrain data, battery usage data, and/or battery health data. The one or more identified candidate route segments can be output on a display device. Selection of one or more identified candidate route segments can cause display of battery usage improvement information and/or battery health improvement information.
