This research analyze five promising transportation control measures: Parking pricing in the morning peak period, Doubling transit frequency doubling, Cent/mile congestion pricing, Implementing an increase in the gasoline tax, and Opting-in to California’s low emission vehicle (LEV) program.
Modern highway traffic management systems are greening the ways of mobility by increasing traffic safety, reducing road congestion, pollutant emission, and energy consumption.
Co-solvent Enhanced Lignocellulosic Fractionation (CELF) has been developed as an advanced pretreatment technology to achieve high sugar yields from biomass at low enzyme loadings. In this thesis, the reasons behind increased digestibility of Alamo switchgrass after CELF were investigated in comparison to research benchmark dilute sulfuric acid (DSA) pretreatment.
This dissertation presents novel methodological improvements to the CA-TIMES energy/economic framework, enabling a more nuanced view of California's transition to a low carbon transportation energy
system, under different policy and technology assumptions.
This project used a survey in areas without a strong bicycling culture, with the intent to measure the preferences for cycling infrastructure among current and potential cyclists. Results could be useful in informing infrastructure investments.
This study will extend Georgia Tech’s previous efforts in the application of regional travel demand model path retention algorithms, the regional TransitSim shortest transit path simulator, to social sustainability analysis.
This project will extend Georgia Tech’s previous effort in designing its family of mode and path-specific multi-modal transportation simulator elements, in parallel support of the Atlanta Regional Commission’s ITS4US project.
This dissertation analyzes the relationships among the adoption and frequency of use of on-demand ride services and other components of travel behavior. Results could inform future ridehailing trends and relevant policy decisions.
