The three-part research study focuses specifically on the relationship between the road environment and bicycling behaviors. Results demonstrate that large scale changes to road environments may be needed to influence bicycling perceptions, attitudes, and behavior.
With increasing electric vehicle (EV) demand, EVs have entered the international second-hand (SH) vehicle market, risking economic and environmental burdens through spent batteries. This research addresses challenges associated with the EV transition in North America.
The overall goal of this work is to maximize total valorization of the glucan, xylan, and lignin found in a woody lignocellulosic biomass by understanding and advancing CELF pretreatment combined with downstream consolidated bioprocessing for the production of biofuels.
This research analyze five promising transportation control measures: Parking pricing in the morning peak period, Doubling transit frequency doubling, Cent/mile congestion pricing, Implementing an increase in the gasoline tax, and Opting-in to California’s low emission vehicle (LEV) program.
This project will result in a white paper that presents the workforce challenges faced by transit agencies as they transition their fleets to zero emission vehicle technologies, and will suggest training strategies to help bridge these challenges.
This paper explores opportunities for the redevelopment of failing regional shopping malls as Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) to improve transit ridership, focusing on Southern California.
This project updates and enhances Georgia Tech’s 2018 spreadsheet-based modeling tool that allows users to assess on-road fuel consumption under real-world traffic conditions.
Co-solvent Enhanced Lignocellulosic Fractionation (CELF) has been developed as an advanced pretreatment technology to achieve high sugar yields from biomass at low enzyme loadings. In this thesis, the reasons behind increased digestibility of Alamo switchgrass after CELF were investigated in comparison to research benchmark dilute sulfuric acid (DSA) pretreatment.
