(2020-03-31)This project evaluated the potential human health impacts from connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) scenarios in the San Francisco Bay Area. The study concentrates on impacts derived from AVs’ effects on travel demand, ... -
Active transportation and the emotion-stress-health link: virtual reality for assessing perceptual responses by pedestrians and bicyclists to the built environment
(2019-12-31)Active transportation has been recognized to promote environmental and physical wellbeing of people. However, demand for active modes (walking and bicycling) – which require physical effort, take longer, but may be free ... -
Active Transportation, Environment, and Health
(2019-08-15)Active transportation –cycling and biking– not only are sustainable travel modes with zero environmental impact, but also have associated health benefits. However, in comparison with motorized transportation, the motives ... -
Aerodynamic Equilibrium and Stability in Ventilation and Air Quality Control of Complex Urban Tunnels
(2018-12-31)Urban vehicular tunnels generally have a branched structure and complex nonlinear aerodynamics, the study of which is crucial for tunnel ventilation design and air quality control. In this study we aim to establish the ... -
Air pollution and equity impacts of the proposed Tampa Bay Next program from a Health in all Policies perspective
(2019-09-30)This project investigated the air pollution and health equity impacts of an ongoing transportation planning program in the Tampa area, Tampa Bay Next. Two aspects will be integrated. First, we estimated the changes in ... -
The air quality and health impacts of projected long-haul truck and rail freight transportation in the United States in 2050
(2018-12-31)Diesel emissions from freight are a key threat to public health. By considering fleet turnover, climate policy, and technology evolution, this study examined the air quality and public health impacts of projected freight ... -
Air quality implications of COVID-19 in California
(2020-09-30)The COVID-19 pandemic has caused enormous adverse impacts on human health and the economy. To combat the virus spread, many regional and national governments have issued the stay-at-home orders in order to improve social ... -
Analysis and Design of Pavement Surface Mixtures for Traffic Noise Reduction
(2021-06-30)Road traffic noise pollutes the living environment and has adverse effects on public health, but it can be reduced at the source of one of its major components, the tire-pavement noise, by a porous pavement surface. This ... -
Analysis of Free-Floating Bike Sharing and Insights on System Operations
(2018-01-31)Free-floating bike sharing (FFBS) is an innovative bike sharing model. FFBS saves on start-up cost, in comparison to station-based bike sharing (SBBS), by avoiding construction of expensive docking stations and kiosk ... -
Assessing Children’s Spatiotemporal Exposures to Transportation Pollutants in Near-Road Communities
(2019-07-31)Children living in near-road communities are constantly exposed to traffic-related air pollutants. Their health could be severely impacted by these pollutants both chronically and acutely. Children’s health outcome research ... -
Characterization of University Parking Systems
(2018-09-30)Most universities are challenged by having limited land resources, including parking stalls, to serve an increasing number of students, faculty members, staff and visitors. The common parking management strategies include ... -
Demand-Driven Operational Design for Shared Mobility with Ride-pooling Options
(2019-09-30)This project aims to develop a demand-driven approach for shared mobility operations with machine learning and math programming methods. The objective of this approach is to incorporate economic, environment and equity ... -
Design of a Hybrid Rebalancing Strategy to Improve Level of Service of Free-Floating Bike Sharing Systems
(2019-09-30)It is known that for bike sharing systems, the flow of customers can completely change the temporal and spatial distribution of the bikes and cause an imbalance of demand and supply in the system. Thus rebalancing/redistribution ... -
