This project investigates the water-uptake of aerosols from gasoline direct injection (GDI) vehicles using a mobile environmental chamber that has been designed and constructed to characterize secondary emissions, or emissions that have undergone atmospheric transformations.
This research project will compare key elements of program design, administration, and projected benefits from the Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) and Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) programs, with the aim of considering how and whether a state-led strategy (AHSC) differs from regionally-designed strategies (through REAP), in furthering SB 375 goals through funding that allocated for similar specific purposes.
The objectives of the research project are to: 1) Combine cooperativity and the EAD to reduce the negative effect of the increasing penetration rate and 2) conduct field tests in existing connected vehicle testbeds and extend the scope to corridors or networks and study the energy optimization approach for multiple intersections.
This project will investigate how connectivity provided by vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle to vehicle (V2V) technologies can be used to develop traffic flow control systems that will enhance mobility and safety, and reduce queues at ramps with positive benefits to transportation efficiency and environment.
Using stated preference choice experiments, this study tries to fill the two gaps in the literature mentioned here: identify the drivers of choice of charging location during non-routine charging events and quantitative estimates of consumer preference for pricing strategies and other charging infrastructure attributes in case of routine nonhome charging events.
This project will help both transportation and environmental agencies at all levels, and car manufacturers, to understand the design, operation, and impacts of optimal eco-driving strategies. The project will provide urgent science and test-based input to inform policy and practice development.
The electrification of privately owned vehicles is a necessary step to eliminating transportation greenhouse gas emissions. The adoption of electric vehicles so far has been heavily focused among high-income commuters who live in major metropolitan areas.
The research examined the sustainability and equity implications of California's Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, which intended to encourage markets for zero-emission and near-zero-emission vehicles.
The goal of this project is to design and evaluate a Dynamic Mobility Management System (DyMMS) to address traffic congestion, which leads to more fuel consumption, significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and poor air quality.
