This work researches on the adoption of electric vehicles in households’ daily travel in Georgia state.

This project develops a framework to help transit agencies replace their conventional-fuel bus fleets with alternative fuel vehicles.

This project presents a tool that estimates how low rolling resistance tires can improve heavy-duty vehicle fuel economy.

This project synthesizes various energy models into one model that estimates transit vehicle energy consumption using real-world data.

This study aims to conduct a time-series to explore how electric vehicle (EV) adoption has increased over time and to predict how future EV adoption will continue to expand in the future.

This project measures sidewalk, curb ramp, and curb cut quality data to evaluate pedestrian infrastructure quality. The project considers accessible, active travel for people with physical disabilities.

This study systematically reviews the policy landscape for sustainable freight transportation using text mining and natural language processing techniques and aggregates them into seven distinct policy types: prohibitions, rebates, sales mandates, technological mandates, material infrastructure, and immaterial infrastructure.

This research will apply climate vulnerability assessments and the TBL approach to sustainability to rail infrastructure planning and resource allocation decision making. The results will be validated by rail operators and administrators to support improved investments in rail that are resilient to extreme events, protect the natural environment, enhance economic competitiveness, and improve societal quality of life, equitably.

Using Atlanta’s MARTA rail system as a case study, this thesis will assess the feasibility of integrating autonomous transit vehicles (transit AVs) into the public transportation system as a first-mile and last-mile solution for riders.
