This white paper examines truck eco-driving programs from Europe, Asia, and North America. It discusses challenges and solutions for implementing educational eco-driving programs.
The research team will build on past research to develop new cooperative traffic operation methods, methods that take advantage of not only infrastructure-to-vehicle communications, but also vehicle-to-infrastructure communications.
The goal of this study is to investigate the combined impact of fuel type, after treatment strategies, and driving mode on primary and secondary emissions form heavy duty vehicles.
This white paper is written to be a practitioner’s guide to the extensive academic literature that provides evidence of policy effectiveness in reducing vehicle miles travelled (VMT). It compares the costs and benefits of various VMT reduction policies.
This project examined the effects of road configurations and urban vegetation on the air quality impact of vehicle-related emissions and used this understanding to suggest methods to mitigate the impact of these emissions on urban air quality.
This project will address the issues of freight decarbonization and supply chain resiliency by designing electric truck fleet management strategies that consider limited charging availability for electric vehicles, respond to electricity grid uncertainties, and analyze the constraints of long-haul and short-haul operations with electric trucks.
This research will explore vehicle-grid interactions with a focus on environmental benefits for future scenarios in which electric vehicles reach substantial market share.
This research will expand on EVALUATE, Phase I by testing the tools developed in that project in an urban area, developing guidance to assist others in using these tools in other regions, and performing technology transfer activities to get the tools in the hands of practitioners and decision makers.
