Life-Cycle Assessment of Diesel-Electric Hybrid and Conventional Diesel Trucks for Deliveries
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Purolator is a Canadian courier company that recently introduced hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) into their fleets. This paper estimates the fuel savings and greenhouse gas reductions for Purolator’s hybrid trucks using a ...
Including Minor Modes of Transport in a Tour-Based Mode Choice Model with Household Interactions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mode choice models used for travel demand forecasting generally include “major” transportation modes of driving, ridesharing, walking, and riding public transit. In the Toronto Area, these make up 96% of all trips. This ...
Simulation of Exclusive Truck Facilities on Urban Freeways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper assesses the impact of exclusive truck facilities on urban freeway performance. A large-scale regional microscopic traffic simulation model is developed for morning and afternoon peak hours and is used to model ...
