The researchers compare and evaluate vehicle miles traveled (VMT) estimation tools across a sample of land use projects in California.

This study investigates the effect of different binder sources used in California pavement production, focusing on recycled asphalt materials in comparison to virgin binders.

This project studies the impacts of enhancing public transportation systems by integrating shared mobility for first- and last-mile transit access.

Given the increase in demand and incentives for e-bicycling; this project seeks to evaluate the behavioral effects (change in bicycling, driving, use of transit) of these incentives to help guide future policy interventions for e-bicycling. The researchers will examine these changes based on survey data, and will propose future study designs for more in-depth analyses and evaluations of e-bike incentives.

Researchers will leverage unique survey data on travel behavior in the greater Sacramento region before and after the availability of the dockless e-bike-share and e-scooter-share.

This research explores the possible effects of electric vehicle (EV) efficiency policy in the US from the perspective of mineral resource demand, life cycle greenhouse gas emissions, and social costs, including roadway safety.

This project examines individual attitudes to a new autonomous shuttle at UC Davis. Survey results may inform future autonomous vehicle adoption and policy.

UC Davis researchers previously created a geographic information systems (GIS) tool to measure electric vehicle distribution in California. This project expands the tool to encompass the whole country.

This dissertation presents a unified framework for understanding plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) usage, with special focus on household factors, user preferences, and PEV technologies. The researcher also looks at energy, emissions, and infrastructure-related factors.

This dissertation communicates results from three different studies on emissions reductions, charging infrastructure, and travel behavior associated with plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs).
