California is in the process of defining the next chapter of its innovative greenhouse gas cap-and-trade program. Last year the state adopted a legally binding emissions reduction goal of 40 percent from 2020 to 2030, but the role of cap and trade in meeting this target is uncertain.
Presenters discussed a selection of VMT estimation methods that are available and used case study projects to evaluate the results, applicability, data needs, and practical considerations of each method.
This session introduced life-cycle analysis (LCA) as an innovative tool for thoroughly evaluating the full “cradle-to-grave” benefits, impacts, and trade-offs of and among transportation project alternatives.
Inspired by the NCHRP Synthesis 503: Leveraging Technology for Transportation Agency Workforce Development and Training, this webinar provides several examples of using technologies to enhance training.
The webinar covered a brief introduction to camera traps, camera-based studies, and using these data in research and mitigation planning; examples of the advanced camera systems available to automatically retrieve image data from the field; and how to use the web-system to manage camera trap projects and share data.
This webinar highlighted new analysis from ITS-Davis that examines six hypothetical fee structure scenarios that could provide a sustainable source of funding for California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Program.
This webinar featured a presentation from Matthew Barth who discussed advances being made in environmental-ITS applications in three main areas: vehicle systems, traffic management systems, and travel information systems.
The webinar featured a presentation from Fraser Shilling and Amanda Coen of UC Davis, who shared and discussed their research results as well as commented on opportunities for mitigating the unintended impacts of roadways on wildlife movement.
This webinar featured a discussion of the state-of-the knowledge on eco-driving solutions specific to transit vehicles and the potential impacts of driver behavior and other fuel conservation strategies.
Ken Kurani and Angela Sanguinetti from ITS-Davis provide a summary of eco-driving research on passenger vehicles and the implications of this research on designing effective policy interventions that achieve both fuel savings and greenhouse gas emission reductions.
