Environmentally Responsible Infrastructure & Operations

The objective of this work is to develop a last-mile delivery optimization model based on Continuous Approximation (CA) techniques and cost-based sustainability assessments, capable of testing various last-mile strategies.

The goal of this project is to develop a connected automation-enabled cooperative management framework for mixed traffic.

This work aims to advance the role of hydrogen energy in California, and assist in achieving California's goal of carbon neutrality by 2045, through utilizing an optimization-based modeling approach to help design infrastructure systems for hydrogen.

This white paper presents a statistical meta-analysis of eco-driving feedback studies, with special focus on feedback interventions and how they impact fuel economy.

This study uses computer simulation to measure how vehicle downsizing impacts use of marked and unmarked parking spaces.

This project presents a tool that estimates how low rolling resistance tires can improve heavy-duty vehicle fuel economy.

This project adds secondary particulate matter data to the MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator to better measure air quality and pollution exposure.

This project synthesizes various energy models into one model that estimates transit vehicle energy consumption using real-world data.

This project applies "Centralized Processing of Chassis" to Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles container movement.
