This white paper evaluates research and transportation planning practices in order to provide a shared foundation for equitable transportation systems. The researchers highlight key dimensions of transportation equity in order to facilitate collaboration among the public and private sectors.
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.
This white paper will provide needed context on biofuel supply cost estimates. The research team will compare literature for particular biofuel technology pathway costs against current biofuel trends and models.
This project will assess community reactions to complete streets projects that repurpose vehicular travel lanes or parking spaces for bicycle lanes, sidewalks or other pedestrian amenities, and/or transit-only or transit-priority lanes.
This dissertation analyzes the relationships among the adoption and frequency of use of on-demand ride services and other components of travel behavior. Results could inform future ridehailing trends and relevant policy decisions.
This project studies the market for secondhand plug-in electric vehicles (PEV). Findings will help estimate the demand for home charging, public infrastructure, and the derived environmental impact of these used vehicles.
This project will investigate the effectiveness of the Youth Cruz Free pilot fare-free program by Santa Cruz Metro through a longitudinal study of travel behavior among high school age teenagers. The outcomes of this study will provide Santa Cruz Metro with a direct understanding of the impacts of the pilot program, and will be useful for transit agencies and policy makers considering larger scale free transit for youth and other groups.
This study aims to compare the feasibility of battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell powertrains for concrete mixer trucks to determine which is the better zero-emission powertrain for the industry to transition towards.
This dissertation explores the matrix of political, economic, and cultural elements that combine to create a
historically contingent context for the plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) market, and analyzes consumption within this context to offer a case study of consumer behavior in an emerging market.
