The project will launch a comprehensive Advanced Sustainable Transportation Workforce Development Initiative for California’s Inland Empire, pulling together a variety of existing educational programs, developing these programs further into a cohesive vehicle/infrastructure training program, and creating a coalition of local manufacturers in this advanced vehicle space.
This project measures NO2 and particulate matter (PM 2.5) concentrations in Riverside, California. There is special focus on the spatial and temporal variability of the pollutants in relation to major urban roadways.
This project bridges the gap between predicted and measured near-road PM2.5 from vehicle emissions, by creating and evaluating the effectiveness of two correction modules.
This project investigates the water-uptake of aerosols from gasoline direct injection (GDI) vehicles using a mobile environmental chamber that has been designed and constructed to characterize secondary emissions, or emissions that have undergone atmospheric transformations.
The objectives of the research project are to: 1) Combine cooperativity and the EAD to reduce the negative effect of the increasing penetration rate and 2) conduct field tests in existing connected vehicle testbeds and extend the scope to corridors or networks and study the energy optimization approach for multiple intersections.
