Efficient Vehicles Versus Efficient Transportation: This paper compares four transportation energy conservation strategies using a comprehensive evaluation framework that takes into account how each strategy affects annual vehicle travel, and therefore mileage-related impacts such as traffic congestion, road and parking facility costs, and crashes. These mileage-related impacts tend to be large in magnitude compared with...; Tags: Benefits, alternative fuel, benefit, transportation, mobility, strategy, tax; White papers 2005-05-06
California's Zero-Emission Vehicle Mandate: To reduce transportation emissions and energy consumption, policy makers typically employ one of two approaches- changing technology or changing behavior. These strategies include demand management tools, such as ridesharing and vehicle control technologies that involve cleaner fuels and fuel economy. In 1990, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) focused on...; Tags: transportation, strategy; White papers 2005-02-11
Integrating Vehicle Design and Human Factors: Minimizing Elderly Driving Constraints: With a projected rise in the number of elderly, most of whom have also relied primarily on the private automobile for their mobility; it is likely that future adaptations in vehicle design will be linked in some part to the physical infirmities often faced by the elderly. This paper offers...; Tags: impairment, medical research, mobility; White papers 2005-02-10
Rear Infrared Thermography in Heat Fluxes Determination on Hypersonics Vehicles: Due to aggressive external conditions during a hypersonic flight, parameters such as external wall temperature are not easily measurable with the usual approach. Hence this study develops a promising in flight measurements methodology to estimate heat fluxes on space vehicle external surface, in order to improve the aerodynamic models. One...; Tags: Construction, ONERA, flux, wall, technique; White papers 2004-09-15
