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.
The purpose of this project is to apply computational tools from topological data analysis (TDA) to study the logistics systems in the state of California and the USA, with an emphasis on freight networks.
This project aims to develop a comprehensive knowledge of the capabilities of different last-mile strategies and policies for varied markets and delivery environments.
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.
Automated vehicles have the potential to reduce the need for parking, but they also have the potential to increase congestion through picking up and dropping off passengers. This project studies such possible environmental effects.
The main objective of this project is to develop a centralized truck parking system that will balance parking utilization in time and space by using full information about supply and demand.
Through development of necessary benchmarks as well as robust tools for assessment and improvement, this work will better inform the procurement of concrete for transportation infrastructure. Further, the tools developed will quantify potential co-benefits or unintended consequences to other environmental impacts.
Yosemite National Park attracts 4.5 million visitors a year, 60% of whom spend at least some time in Yosemite Valley where many of the park’s natural wonders are found. Bicycles have been a popular travel alternative within the valley. The purpose of this project is to explore the potential for bicycling to play a larger role in the effort to manage Yosemite Valley traffic and reduce environmental impacts.
This project will develop a shortest path calculator that can identify the relative travel cost across routes for a case study subarea within the City of Atlanta.
