The proposed research aims to develop quantitative understanding of the relationships between hybrid system energy management and emissions for a hybrid electric vehicle passenger car.

This project involves expanding prior analysis of the Georgia I-75/I-575 Northwest Corridor Express Lanes by performing an energy use and emission assessment for these Express Lanes against the GP lanes on a per VMT basis.  The tools and results from this project will support assessment and public outreach efforts related to expansion of Georgia’s Express Lanes systems.

The project will develop an ‘Organic Resource Locator’ for the Southern California region with particular emphasis on the territory served by the Southern California Gas Company. This will be a map of technically recoverable organic resources available for energy conversion, and the potential end users.

This research addresses how fueling station locations impact alternative fuel vehicles in terms of energy, efficiency, and emissions.

This study will develop a framework that integrates an activity-based travel demand model with path retention, an emissions model (MOVES Matrix) and demographic analysis system (Population Synthesis).

This project presents a stochastic multi-agent optimization model that supports energy infrastructure planning under uncertainty.

This white paper explores how an increasing role for zero-emission vehicles over time could reach certain climate change goals by 2050 – making for a very different future. This paper focuses primarily on trucks, as trucking represents 82% of freight energy use, but also provides some comparisons for other modes.
