This project studies how different fueling technologies and technologies-for-rail can reduce life cycle greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions from train transportation.
The seminar summarizes a pavement life-cycle assessment method for California cities that researchers translated into a dynamic decisions support tool.
The goal of this dissertation is to analyze applications through the lens of circular economy in California based on life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic analysis (TEA).
Utilizing a regionally expanded life cycle assessment (LCA), the study models the lifecycle emissions of these vehicles, factoring in changes in grid mixes, vehicle usage patterns, and EOL processes between the two countries. The results aim to inform policies that balance environmental benefits with social equity in the regional EV transition.
This dataset uses system dynamics modeling to project future EV adoption and SH vehicle trade between the US and Mexico. Results show EVs will comprise nearly 50% of Mexico’s fleet and up to 99% of SH imports by 2050, and SH EV batteries disproportionately contribute to the stock of spent EV batteries.
This dataset is from research that applies a life cycle perspective to assess the energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, air quality impacts, and costs of on-road freight vehicle technologies and operational strategies identified under the Sustainable Freight Action Plan.
This research assesses whether these technological innovations change the currently understood waste hierarchy, which prioritizes reuse or repurposing prior to recycling.
“Complete streets” is a design concept for primarily urban streets and intersections (existing and/or new) intended to encourage active transportation by bicyclists and pedestrians by making streets safer, convenient, and attractive for active transportation.
