This project contributes research on information technology, operational modernization at distribution nodes, and planning and policy for the California Sustainable Freight Strategy.
As electric vehicles are being adopted in relatively wealthier communities, there is a question as to whether pollution is being shifted from these communities to more disadvantaged, lower income communities which tend to be located near fossil fuel power plants. This project proposes to conduct a high-resolution accounting and measurement of the emissions and associated impacts through three phases of research.
This research will develop a dynamic systems model that integrates the economic, environmental and social factors that shape the reverse logistics process and the economics of reuse and recycling to develop robust policies for lithium ion battery end-of -life management
The researchers created a model to understand the traffic and environmental impacts of truck-only lanes, using a proposed highway project in Georgia as a case study.
This research primarily aims to evaluate the effects of two newly-constructed Express Toll Lanes, with particular emphasis on economic, energy and environmental impacts.
This project will develop a practical tool for policymakers to infer the effects of alternative strategies for reducing traffic congestion in Los Angeles.
