In this webinar, researchers from the University of Southern California—who are experts in long-haul trucking operations—and researchers from the University of California, Riverside—who possess complementary expertise in short-haul trucking (e.g., drayage) operations—will address the issues of freight decarbonization and supply chain resiliency through innovative electric truck fleet management strategies, as well as different synergies and tradeoffs encountered between long-haul and short-haul operations.

This symposium convenes students, researchers, transit agencies, local governments, state agencies and policy makers to discuss the latest research in California High-Speed Rail, Restoring Ridership, Transit User Groups, and Innovations in Transit.

California's first conference on the design and construction of sustainable long-life concrete pavement will feature industry professionals, researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss advances in the field.

The International Urban Freight Conference (I-NUF) is the premier biennial conference that addresses all aspects of city logistics and goods movement in the world’s metropolitan areas. It is a showcase for cutting-edge research and dynamic information-sharing and provides a forum for researchers, policy makers, and practitioners to reimagine and guide the future of the industry.

In this research webinar, Dr. Fizzy Fan presented findings from her innovative modeling techniques and the application of high-performance computing to assess the impacts of extreme weather on vulnerable communities.

In this research briefing, NCST experts provided updates on the current state of the electric vehicle (EV) market and charging ecosystem and how policy solutions can address EV charging challenges.

Event Overview

Impedance functions measure the relative difficulty of travel, primarily through travel time. They play a crucial role in deciding which transportation infrastructure projects get funded, yet there is little research on how to measure cycling impedance.

By bringing together Tribal transportation leaders, the summit helped to identify and prioritize transportation program delivery challenges, including the core competencies and related training and resources needed for Tribal governments to carry out their duties.

The research presents a ridesharing planning scheme that considers uncertainties inherent in the ridesharing system and provides a robust plan that reduces travel time for commuters.

In this webinar, Dr. Susie Pike, Director of the Transit Research Center at UC Davis, shed light on the challenges facing small to medium transit agencies in the transition of California’s transit systems to open-loop payment systems, and some of the opportunities that may make adoption of these systems more feasible.
