emissions

The objective of this dissertation is to develop and refine methods of assessing the life cycle environmental impacts and economic costs of electric vehicle technologies and policies.

This white paper presents three case studies from the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP), including brief analyses of their effects on freight movement in the region. The research helps to illustrate examples of unintended consequences of freight-related environmental measures which will prove useful to policymakers and operators alike.

In this research project, the research team developed an environmentally-friendly driving feedback system for heavy-duty trucks, which was adapted from a similar system previously developed for light-duty cars.

The focus of this research is the design and implementation of a carbon calculator that estimates the CO2 emissions of both passenger vehicles and aviation options for surveyed real-world trips.

This research brief presents a new model for predicting heavy-duty vehicle fuel savings from using low rolling resistance tires.

This study investigates the potential ramifications of e-commerce on shopping behaviors, travel, and residential deliveries by the year 2050. The study underscores the significance of contemplating the implementation of clean energy fleets and effective transportation strategies to mitigate the negative externalities related to shopping activities.

This research explores electric vehicle (EV) and grid interactions with a focus on CO2 emissions through integrating models and data that characterize: vehicle energy consumption, travel demands, vehicle charging, and temporal emission profiles associated with electric power generation dispatch. This convergence research helps quantify the relative emissions of light duty vehicle use and charging during various times of day to enable comparison of EV modes against one another and against conventional vehicle baselines.
