Factors associated with emerging multimodal transportation behavior in the San Francisco Bay Area Open
This paper identifies the influence of demographic, local transportation environment, and individual preferences for transportation attributes on multimodal transportation behavior in an urban environment with emergent transportation mode …
View article: Applying risk tolerance and socio-technical dynamics for more realistic energy transition pathways
Applying risk tolerance and socio-technical dynamics for more realistic energy transition pathways Open
Many energy systems models have sought to develop pathways for deep decarbonization of the global energy system. Most often, these pathways minimize system costs or greenhouse gas emissions; with few exceptions, they ignore the constraints…
