routing

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 report presents a survey of the latest advancements in battery technologies, primarily focusing on Class 7 and Class 8 heavy-duty vehicles due to their critical role in freight transport.

This research project proposes three different solution approaches for solving the ride share routing problem with flexible pickup and drop-off points. Results show that the approaches are efficient, solving instances with up to 300 nodes within 130 CPU seconds. The methodologies in this study can help transportation planners design more efficient rideshare systems with less waiting, better passenger service, and less travel time.

The Total Cost of Ownership Spreadsheet Tool (TCOST) is a Microsoft Excel-based calculator that simplifies and integrates the main functions, data, and outputs of pre-existing models (MOVES-Matrix and the GREET Model) and other external sources of economic data.

Research performed in this supplemental NCST study improved model algorithms to increase analytical efficiency and to integrate ridership demographics, so that energy use impacts could be assessed across demographic groups for use in social sustainability analysis.
