infrastructure

This workshop brought together a diverse group of stakeholders to exchange and discuss unanswered questions and to discuss a proposed road map to fill the gaps in knowledge regarding permeable pavement.

This research project was designed to support efforts within Caltrans in conducting a wildfire vulnerability risk assessment for fuels reduction in the Right of Way to protect Caltrans’ infrastructure and travelers.

This research brief summarizes the associated project, which developed a methodology that combines urban metabolism and life cycle assessment to examine the life cycle impacts of hardscapes at the urban scale rather than at the product or project scale.

This policy brief summarizes findings from and policy implications of research that developed a methodology that provides an ordinal measure of demand-side food access.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection produced a Community Wildfire Prevention and Mitigation Report in 2019 with a methodology to assess wildfire risk. Caltrans and researchers at the University of California, Davis applied these methods to develop a highway-segment-specific prioritization model for vegetation management within highway rights-of-way.

To better understand the link between how new bicycle infrastructure influences the routes that bicyclists choose, researchers analyzed bicyclists’ route choice before and after a 45% increase in bike lanes and 178% increase in sharrows in the City of San Francisco.

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