This research focuses on proposing and testing a framework that integrates a freight transport modeler and a vehicle emission simulator to evaluate the emission of heavy duty trucks within the logistic network by studying operational behaviors.

This research project will apply a transport equation to predict noise distributions in long spaces/enclosures when multiple sources are present. Skip to content Transport-equation models for more cost-effective, accurate noise prediction in tunnels and urban canyons

Developing a consistent set of comprehensive and objective energy and GHG intensity estimates will require a substantial research effort. This research should survey all modes, but the primary focus should be on Inter-City Passenger and Inter- and Intra-City Freight Transport Energy and GHG Intensities.

Anecdotally, many lower-income households rely on public transit for transport. How does public transit access to community colleges and 2-year colleges impact a person’s ability to get to college, and stay in college throughout the course of the degree – …
