Using Machine Learning Models to Forecast Electric Vehicle Destination and Charging Event

Research Product Type
Associated Publication
This study aims to develop a prediction framework based on a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network model to suggest when battery electric vehicle drivers should charge their vehicles, in order to to provide a more accurate and precise method of predicting charging events than conventional machine learning models.

Using Vehicle Miles Traveled Instead of Level of Service as a Metric of Environmental Impact for Land Development Projects: Progress in California

Research Product Type
Policy Brief
Senate Bill (SB) 743 (2013) and its related regulations eliminated automobile level of service (LOS) and replaced it with vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as the primary transportation impact metric for land development projects. The LOS-to-VMT shift was expected to create many challenges for transportation analysts. With those concerns in mind, researchers at the University of California, Davis investigated how local governments have been implementing the LOS-to-VMT shift.

Will Autonomous Vehicles and Shared Mobility Create a Better Future?

The panel discussed innovative ideas and partnerships already forming around these three transportation revolutions, shared the latest scientific insights on potential public benefits and impacts, and explored the role of the federal government in shaping the roll-out of a new transportation paradigm.

Zero Emission Vehicles and Consumer Preference: Toward an Understanding of Consumer Practices and Valuation Processes in the Plug-In Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Market

  • Principal Investigator Jennifer TyreeHageman
  • University of California, Davis
This dissertation explores the matrix of political, economic, and cultural elements that combine to create a historically contingent context for the plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) market, and analyzes consumption within this context to offer a case study of consumer behavior in an emerging market.
