In this work, a modeling framework of population exposure to PM2.5 with high spatiotemporal resolution is proposed and applied to the region of Atlanta, GA for environmental equity analysis.
This dissertation builds a framework for regional-level micro-scale pollutant dispersion analysis using the MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES)-Matrix and distributed computing across multiple dispersion models.
Estimation of emissions and energy consumption using MOVES (Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator) model is cumbersome for large-scale network and intractable for real-time analysis and control purposes
This study will develop a framework that integrates an activity-based travel demand model with path retention, an emissions model (MOVES Matrix) and demographic analysis system (Population Synthesis).
This research will implement a commuter survey targeting at NWC Express Lane users and non-users to identify factors influencing observed travel behavioral changes, which includes shifts in commute travel routes and changes in shared ride activities.
This reserch will quantify sustainable sidewalk infrastructure costs for the City of Atlanta, assuming a 40-year life-cycle for repair and replacement.
This research will develop a framework to combine several data sources (licensed household marketing demographics data, vehicle registration data, and license plate observation data) to generate sub-region synthetic fleets.
This study will extend Georgia Tech’s previous efforts in the application of regional travel demand model path retention algorithms, the regional TransitSim shortest transit path simulator, to social sustainability analysis.
This project studies the extension of the 1-85 HOT lanes (1-85 Extension) and the new reversible Northwest Corridor (NWC) express lanes, with special focus on vehicle occupancy, vehicle throughput, and person throughput.
This project will extend Georgia Tech’s previous effort in designing its family of mode and path-specific multi-modal transportation simulator elements, in parallel support of the Atlanta Regional Commission’s ITS4US project.
