- Characterizing Older Driver Behavior for Traffic Simulation and Emissions Modeling
Examples of Current and Past Work:
- Modeling particle number emissions as a function of gas emissions
- Comparing emissions from hybrid and non-hybrid vehicles
- Quantifying the emissions benefits of plug-in hybrid vehicles
- Modeling emissions as a function of second-by-second driver velocity and road curvature
- Spatial analysis of emissions using Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
- Analysis of on-board emissions testing of transit buses
Members of this lab also work with social scientists in sociology and communications to study the public understanding of tailpipe emissions and to design effective communication strategies for disseminating these research findings to the public.
