Cloud Forming Potential of Aerosol from Light-Duty Gasoline Direct Injection Vehicles

  • Principal Investigator Georgios Karavalakis, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Riverside
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.

Cooperative eco-approach and departure (EAD) along signalized corridors

  • Principal Investigator Zhensong Wei
  • University of California, Riverside
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.

Design and Evaluation of Dynamic Mobility Management Systems

  • Principal Investigator David Oswald
  • University of California, Riverside
The goal of this project is to design and evaluate a Dynamic Mobility Management System (DyMMS) to address traffic congestion, which leads to more fuel consumption, significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and poor air quality.
