Measurement and Estimation of Particulate Matter Concentration on Highways in Southern California; Characterization of Diesel Emissions using In-Door Smog Chamber

  • Principal Investigator Liem Pham
  • University of California, Riverside
In this study, both stationary and comprehensive mobile monitoring platforms were developed to measure PM concentration and traffic conditions on some major highways in Southern California. The main objective was to develop a set of alternative metrics that measure particle concentrations as well as particle size.

Modeling the Impact of Road Grade on Driving Behavior, Vehicle Energy Consumption, and Emissions

  • Principal Investigator Haobing Liu, Ph.D.
  • Georgia Institute of Technology
This study addresses two issues: 1) how road grade impacts vehicle speed and acceleration distributions, and how such distributions vary across vehicle types, roadway types, traffic conditions, etc.; and 2) how significant the impact of integrating grade interactions is with respect to energy, emissions, and air quality modeling.
