The Fuel and Emissions Calculator (FEC) is an operating-mode-based, life-cycle energy and emissions modeling tool developed by Georgia Institute of Technology researchers.
Rapid technological developments and increased concerns about climate change have spurred interest away from the internal combustion engine and the use of fossil fuels in various applications. These same technologies hold promise in a rail context. This dissertation explores fuel technologies for powering 21st century passenger and freight rail.
This study used a proprietary dataset of for-rent listings to test the ways in which Small Area Fair Market Rents would change the number of listings below Fair Market Rents across five California HUD metropolitan Fair Market Rents areas.
This research brief presents results from a freight/passenger rail simulation that evaluated the effectiveness of proposed new scheduling and dispatching algorithms using Positive Train Control (PTC).
Dr. Marlon Boarnet of USC addresses the question, "Is new rail transit associated with displacement of low-income residents in near-rail neighborhoods?" in this NCST webinar.
