By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

Note: This research idea was short-listed at the 2015 TRB meeting of the Project-Level Subcommittee of the Transportation and Air Quality Committee (ADC20). The broader research problem to be addressed…

A Pilot Program for Streamlining Carbon Monoxide (CO) Project-Level Air Quality Analyses with Programmatic Agreements (PAs)

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

The NCHRP 25-25 Task 78 study (2015) successfully developed templates for programmatic agreement (PA) and associated technical documentation that are designed to be implemented by state DOTs to streamline project-level…

A Pilot Program for Streamlining Particulate Matter (PM) and Mobile Source Air Toxics (MSATs) Project-Level Air Quality Analyses with Programmatic Agreements (PAs).

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

Most recently, NCHRP 25-25 Task 78, developed templates for a PA for CO hot-spot analysis and identified needed research areas to develop PAs for PM hot spot analyses and MSAT…

Assessment of the State-of-the-Practice of Model Improvement Programs for Air Quality Regulatory Models

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

In 2007, the National Research Council (NRC) issued the landmark report “Models in Environmental Regulatory Decision Making” (http://www.nap.edu/catalog/11972/models-in-environmental-regulatory-decision-making). It assessed EPA’s use of computer models in developing regulations and recommended…

Carbon Footprint Calculator for Departments of Transportation Highway & Non-Highway Land Uses

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

Synthesize publicly-available data to create a computer model that calculates carbon footprint for DOT-centric development. Inputs are needed for embodied carbon, carbon burned during construction and maintenance, and carbon sequestered…

Critical Review of Vehicle Emission Estimates of Uncontrolled Components of Particulate Matter

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

There are many air pollution emission components associated with motor vehicles, which historically have been subjected to stricter and stricter environmental controls, including running exhaust, crankcase running exhaust, cold start,…

Kinetic Energy Generation for Transportation Use: Feasibility Study

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

Wherever there is the motion there is the possibility of producing kinetic energy. The heavier and more consistent the motion – the more energy is produced. This concept can be…

Mining Vehicle Probe Data to Establish Vehicle Activity Distributions on the National Highway System

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

The use of mobile source emissions models is inescapable for many regulatory, planning, and research applications in the air quality and transportation field. Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s MOVES…

Effective Transportation Agency Practices to Support Healthy Food Accessibility

By ahardingMay 7, 2021Leave a comment

The problems of food deserts, access to healthy foods, and food system sustainability are usually framed as land use, economic development, environmental, and/or food policy problems, not as transportation problems.…
