Using Anna’s hummingbird as a case study, the researchers propose to develop a genetic toolkit to assess how Caltrans construction projects impact bird populations.
The goal of this project is to produce a first-order estimate of future global warming potential from road building, maintenance, and rehabilitation for the world’s road networks and put this into context with other expected transportation-related greenhouse gases.
This project uses time lapse cameras to monitor sea-level rise in both California and Georgia. Results could inform adaptational infrastructure planning as sea-level rise continues.
This project will evaluate the impact of sustainable traffic interventions on local air quality at signalized intersections along the Innovation Corridor using a dense network of low-cost air quality monitors.
This project reviews the growing literature related to the application of alterative and novel paving materials and green stormwater infrastructure to reduce urban heat islands.
This project describes MOVES-Matrix 2.0, which builds upon the previous MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator to now integrate engine start, soak, evaporative, and truck hoteling emissions.
This research aims to improve freight vehicle utilization and energy efficiency (productive ton-miles per unit of energy) by modeling and evaluating the innovative shared mobility services for freight
This study identifies heavily-trafficked freight truck routes of optimal distances in Georgia and quantifies electrification benefits for fleets operating on these corridors by integrating outputs from MOVES Matrix, the Argonne National Laboratory’s GREET Model, the Georgia Tech Fuel and Emissions Calculator (FEC), and other models into a web-based tool.
