In this study, to fulfill the gap between current data collection strategies, the authors introduce a WhatsApp-based VMT data collection framework that lets study participants submit photos of their odometer, communicates with them for administrative events, manages submitted images and other information of the participants, and displays that data on the web UI for the study administrator.
The researchers study the relationship between support for the proposition, political ideology and the economic burdens imposed by the 2017 Road Repair and Accountability Act.
The tasks of this project employ different combinations of methods to enable the prediction of e-commerce shopping behaviors for each metropolitan statistical areas of interest at the individual level as well as the quantitative calculation of externalities. Methods used include Weighted Multinomial Logit models, time series forecasting, and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations.
This study investigates how stakeholders throughout the state of California view the potential impacts of ridehailing services such as Uber or Lyft, to transportation systems, and how to address su
This data supports the project of the same name. The 2019 California Vehicle Survey data was used to analyze the driving behavior associated with more recent EV models (with potentially longer ranges).
The dataset centers around the level of service (LOS) to Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) shift which made the latter the transportation impact metric for land development projects under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Appropriately, this dataset summarizes the inventory findings of the study which investigated how local governments have been implementing the LOS-to-VMT shift for land development projects.
This dataset contains relevant information used in the study of collecting odometer images via WhatsApp to measure vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in California.
This project seeks to unpack the political opposition to gasoline taxes, by examining how precinct-level support for California Proposition 6, which would have immediately reduced state gasoline taxes, covaries with the political ideology of voters and the economic burden of gasoline taxes.
This project examines the potential for single-occupancy drivers to use public transit in their morning commutes. (For the final project, the researchers switched the study location from the Sacramento area to the San Francisco Bay area.)
