Quantifying the environmental impacts of selected sustainable transportation policies
… impacts of first, High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes and carpooling as a realization of avoid strategies; and second, Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) as an example of replace strategies. The resulting models have a wide range of applications in evaluating the effectiveness of each …

Modeling lane-changing behavior in presence of exclusive lanes
… with unlimited access High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane. Estimation results show that the target lane choice is affected by lane-specific attributes, such as average speed and density, variables that relate to the path plan and the interactions of the vehicle with other vehicles surrounding it. …

Assessing the effects of ethanol addition on particulate matter emissions in GDI engines
… it does not take latent heat of vaporization (HOV) into account. The high HOV of ethanol suppresses the fuel evaporation and potentially causes more liquid fuel films, which serve as sources for PM emissions. This evaporative cooling effect was assessed along with the oxygen content effect, a …

Essays on the economics of urban transportation
… studies the impact of a high occupancy vehicle (HOV) policy in Jakarta, Indonesia, on road traffic congestion measured using data from Google Maps. The lifting of the "3-in-1" policy led to large increases in traffic congestion throughout the city. The third paper uses cell phone transaction data …

Enhancing Capacity and Managing Demand to Increase Short-Term Throughput on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge
… to using the Bay Bridge. Top priorities include HOV improvements on the West Grand Avenue and Powell Street onramps, altering WestCAT Lynx and BART transit services, partnering with rideshare apps to increase transit station accessibility (last mile problem), partnering with vanpool/minibus apps, …

Evaluation of Tidewater district's operations improvements program
… The failure of the proper maintenance of the HOV lanes on the Route 44 leading to the subsequent rescinding of the same has been looked into. The use of DYNAMO programming was made in order to simulate the conditions on the toll road and to get an idea of the various alternatives which could …
