Research Project

Differences and similarities between women and men in their prospective interest in EVs were analyzed and placed in context with observed motor vehicle and EV sales in California. This will research will analyze 12 additional states.

This study will collect real-world driving data in the mountainous and largely rural northern state of Vermont to determine how plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) use and performance differ across these contexts and for different vehicle types.

This project evaluates how different planning agencies may prepare for future climate change threats.

This project will determine the market penetration and charging infrastructure needs of multi-EV households by region and community in California from 2022 to 2040, with a particular focus on how access to charging will affect the rate at which households acquire additional EVs and on the difficulties of expanding EV ownership in Disadvantaged Communities in California.

In this project, the research team will assess the impacts of discounted express lane tolls on ZEV adoption statewide and specifically in disadvantaged communities and areas where these discounts will have the largest impact. The results of this analysis will be used to propose a discount system that will encourage ZEV adoption but not overly burden express lane infrastructure.

This project focuses on evaluating the potential applications and representativeness of data from ZipPass, a mobile ticketing app. It will explore how data can be used to estimate transit ridership and understand riders' origin-destinations.

This study aims to identify the existing bias, barriers, gaps, in zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales processes as well as the inventory and source of used ZEVs at the participating dealerships that hinder larger adoption of ZEVs, specifically in the low-middle income and disadvantaged communities households in California.

This study examined the state of employee retention and knowledge management in the Vermont Agency of Transportation.

This project looked at attitudes and adoption of alternative vehicle fuels. The researchers also analyzed barriers to alternative fuel adoption, and strategies for improving technologies.

This research will determine whether charging at roadside rest areas, especially those along interstate highways, are likely to meet the needs of the trucks that have multi-day trips.
