New MobilityResearchers have been developing innovative methods for integrated traffic management and communications networking systems for autonomous transportation systems. These models provide for optimal on-ramp merging and adaptive formation of vehicular flows across highway lanes, with the goal of achieving high vehicular flow rates while reducing queueing delays. To effectively control vehicular flows and formations across the highway, researchers have developed new data communications protocols and algorithms.The research team proposes to translate its models and techniques to the design of autonomous transportation systems when aided by interconnected roadside unit (RSU) stations that form a backbone network infrastructure. The research team’s methods will be used to determine the best configuration of joint traffic management and data networking mechanisms, described by the locations and interconnection features of the RSU stations and the backbone network infrastructure that they form.

Environment, Transportation FinanceAs the market share of zero-emissions hydrogen and electric vehicles increases in California, the motor vehicle fuel tax becomes less applicable as a user fee, and declining revenues could produce shortfalls for maintaining the transportation system. The authors of SB1 sought policy options to raise usage-based revenues from electric and zero-emissions transportation system users.This research was specified in SB1 as a study for the University of California at Davis. Professor Martin Wachs, an internationally-renowned transportation finance expert member of the SB 1077 Road User Charge Technical Advisory Committee, is assisting research at UC Davis with this study.
