Transportation Systems Research
The Transportation Systems Research (TSR) group at CE-CERT focuses on a variety of system-level issues related to multi-modal transportation.
Primary research themes include: the prediction of air quality and energy impacts related to transportation, the development of new intelligent transportation system technologies, and the pursuit of advanced vehicle engineering projects.
TSR has extensive experience in transportation-related data collection, management, and applications, with particular strength in collecting and analyzing vehicle activity data from probe vehicle experiments and vehicle detection sensory networks.
TSR has worked closely with transportation and air agencies such as the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and has had active projects with industry partners such as Nissan, Honda, and Volkswagen. Over the last two decades, the TSR group has been at the heart of emissions and fuel consumption modeling at different levels of resolution. As part of this research, CE-CERT has developed a comprehensive modeling methodology to evaluate and quantify energy and emissions impacts of transportation programs.
