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.

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.

In this webinar, researchers shared the results of a study based on a smartphone travel diary of micromobility users in 48 cities in the US. Findings from the study can be useful for quantifying potential VMT reduction from micromobility services.

Using big-data from a rich network of detectors located on all freeways in Los Angeles that measure real-time speed and flow (that is, car counts), this seminar highlighted a practical tool for policymakers to infer the effects of alternative strategies for reducing traffic congestion in Los Angeles

In this webinar, the researchers discussed existing support for mileage fees at a national scale, factors affecting low support, and key leverage points for policy makers and DOTs looking to gain support at local, state, and federal scales.

In this webinar, Dr. Gil Tal, Director of the EV Research Center at UC Davis, and PhD student Kelly Hoogland will share analysis on survey responses from approximately 7,000 California PEV drivers. The research aims to provide a better understanding of the impact of financial incentives on PEV leasing and purchasing.

In this webinar, NCST researcher Alissa Kendall will share insights into end-of-life management of lithium ion batteries. An integrated approach to managing these batteries is crucial to continuing the increasing adoption of electric vehicles.

In this webinar, researchers from the National Center for Sustainable Transportation will highlight research pertaining to meeting the mobility needs of small, rural, and marginalized communities in California.
