In this study, emissions from two hybrid electric vehicles with different combustion technologies were compared using portable emissions measurement system and tailpipe sensors under cold weather conditions.
This study helps understand how the anticipated emergence of autonomous vehicles will affect various aspects of society and transportation, including travel demand, vehicle miles traveled, energy consumption, and emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.
As electric vehicles are being adopted in relatively wealthier communities, there is a question as to whether pollution is being shifted from these communities to more disadvantaged, lower income communities which tend to be located near fossil fuel power plants. This project proposes to conduct a high-resolution accounting and measurement of the emissions and associated impacts through three phases of research.
This research will develop a dynamic systems model that integrates the economic, environmental and social factors that shape the reverse logistics process and the economics of reuse and recycling to develop robust policies for lithium ion battery end-of -life management
Lithium-ion battery (LIB) advancements include the use of rapidly evolving and chemically diverse batteries as well as larger battery packs, raising concerns about battery production sustainability as well as battery end-of-life (EoL). This study seeks to respond to these concerns by analyzing potential pathways for EoL EV batteries, quantifies flows of retiring EV battery materials, proposes economically and environmentally preferable LIB EoL strategies, and recommends pertinent policies with an emphasis on environmental justice.
This webinar highlighted new analysis from ITS-Davis that examines six hypothetical fee structure scenarios that could provide a sustainable source of funding for California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Program.
This Excel tool allows users to assess the potential use of express lane discounts as a driver of ZEV adoption by testing the effectiveness of a range of discount scenarios, including scenario
Researchers at the University of California, Davis evaluated three innovative mobility pilot programs in the San Joaquin Valley to understand the participant characteristics and outcomes of each pilot.
