Dynamic Routing to Improve the Efficiency of Ride-Sharing

Research Product Type
Research Brief
Researchers examined the possibility of ride-sharing being able to mitigate traffic congestion by developing a two-stage algorithm to solve the routing problem with ride-share in real-time within a context where ride-sharing drivers are traveling toward their own destinations while making detours to serve passengers with flexible pickup and drop-off locations.

Exposure to Electric Vehicle Technology at Home and Work Can Fuel Market Growth

Research Product Type
Policy Brief
This policy brief examines the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in California between 2014 and 2016, both spatially and temporally, to gain a better understanding of the technology diffusion process and the effect of technology exposure, while controlling for sociodemographic factors and the effect of PEV incentive programs on PEV adoption in the state.
