Fuel and Emissions Calculator (FEC) Version 4.0

  • Principal Investigator Randall Guensler, Ph.D.
  • Georgia Institute of Technology
This research will update to the spreadsheet version of the Fuel and Emissions Calculator (FEC) to Version 4.0. The update will incorporate the emission and energy use rates from the latest version of the EPA's MOVES 4.0 regulatory model for conventional and electric vehicles, utilizing the latest matrices from MOVES-Matrix 4.0 (also developed by the research team) and associated source type technology parameters.

Improving Public Safety through Spatial Synthesis, Mapping, Modeling, and Performance Analysis of Emergency Evacuation in California Localities

  • Principal Investigator Miguel Jaller, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Davis
The project will help centralize and assess evacuation routes, and assess their capacity for evacuation. It will help inform infrastructure investment priority decisions, as it will identify the road segments with the largest impact on the evacuation route/network performance.
