Managing the Impacts of Freight in California

Research Product Type
Policy Brief
This policy brief provides a statewide assessment of freight movement on all traffic congestion, and defines freight impact areas as severely congested roadway corridors with high volumes of trucks.

Modeling for Local Impact Analysis

Research Product Type
Research Report
Researchers developed traffic simulation models that allowed them to evaluate the impact of new traffic flow control systems, vehicle routing, and other technologies on the efficiency of the transportation system.

Modeling for Local Impact Analysis

  • Principal Investigator Petros Ioannou, Ph.D.
  • University of Southern California
This project developed a set of traffic simulation models for the Los Angeles/Long Beach region that allowed the researchers to evaluate impacts on transportation system efficiency and on the environment.

National Impacts of E-commerce Growth - Development of a Spatial Demand Based Tool

  • Principal Investigator Miguel Jaller, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Davis
This study addresses how much e-commerce will grow, if the growth will be consistent across locations and demographics, and what the impacts on the transportation system will be. In doing so, the study will develop a tool to estimate VMT and emissions from varying e-commerce scenarios using transportation demand models.

Planning Can Maximize Benefits and Mitigate Negative Consequences of Future Travel Increases from E-Commerce

Research Product Type
Policy Brief
Researchers at the University of California, Davis developed a forecasting model to quantify the potential impacts of future e-commerce on emissions and transport activity under different scenarios with assumptions about penetration levels of various technologies (e.g., electrification, rush deliveries, crowdshipping, and automation/efficiency improvements).

Recent Urban Freight Research Findings From Europe

Urban freight research is now an established field within European academic centers, taking advantage of increasing data availability, new corporate and government sponsors, and increased interest from practitioners and local decision-makers. Professor Dablanc will present some of the recent issues and research findings from her team, including some recent European Union funded projects she participated in.
