incentives

Researchers at the University of Southern California developed a distributed algorithm for offering incentives to organizations to make socially optimal routing decisions designed to lower the traffic flow of congested roads without creating new congestion in other parts of the road network.

This dissertation provides an integrated examination of urban heat mitigation strategies and the effectiveness of electric vehicle (EV) purchase incentives, employing innovative methodologies across its four chapters to address pressing environmental and policy challenges.

In this report, the authors propose an online and large-scale rideshare system that can dynamically match passenger requests with drivers and provide efficient routes to the drivers.

This policy brief summarizes findings from a research report that examines the fuel-savings and GHG emissions impacts of various eco-driving practices.

This report gauges the extent to which car-owning households in California have considered purchasing plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles collectively.

This paper assesses the potential utility of feebates for shaping the US light-duty vehicle market. The analysis shows revenue-neutral incentive systems for encouraging zero-emission vehicles are possible and can be effective.

This paper reviews and assesses feebate design types, issues, and implementation strategies in France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Effective feebate design can help accelerate the zero-emission vehicle transition commensurate with international climate goals.

Researchers examined what makes a feebate policy work and how this strategy can be leveraged to shift US vehicle markets. This research included a review and analysis of feebate mechanisms in European countries.
