Development and Evaluation of Methodological Framework for Real-World Vehicle Energy Use and Emissions Estimation at Multiple Temporal and Vehicular Scales

CBET- 0756263Frey 该提案寻求开发一致且详细的方法来确定和建模不同时间和车辆尺度的车辆排放。对于规划者和监管者来说，成功开发这种方法将向前迈出一步，他们经常为当前可用的模型可以最准确地预测当地/区域车辆排放而苦苦挣扎。 PI 在车载车辆测量领域拥有详细记录的历史，将环境和交通工程领域融为一体。该项目看起来组织良好，PI 仔细解释了他们的实验、建模和传播计划，包括计划统计分析的详细信息以及对传播计划的相当深入的描述。所在机构列出的资源似乎足以完成拟议的任务。拟议的工作组织良好，代表着在车辆排放的最终量化方面向前迈出了宝贵的一步。预算似乎适当且充足。 FUEMS 方法提出的不仅是提高知识水平，而且项目计划本身也通过在原始研究中隐含地纳入一些研究生和本科生来加强培训和学习，并通过在各种课程中纳入重大数据和数据缩减过程来进一步提高学生的接触率。结果将通过网页、当地政治组织以及专业组织的演示和出版物进一步传播。该项目的学生招募似乎主要是在内部进行的，但将通过学校的少数族裔项目办公室发布广告。

CBET- 0756263FreyThe proposal seeks the development of a consistent and well-detailed methodology for the determination and modeling of vehicular emissions on different temporal and vehicular scales. Successful development of such a methodology would be a step forward for planners and regulators who often struggle as to which currently available model may most accurately predict local/regional vehicle emissions. The PIs have a well-documented history in the field of on-board vehicular measurements, meshing the fields of environmental and transportation engineering. The project appears well-organized and the PIs have carefully explained their experimental, modeling, and dissemination plan, including details on planned statistical analysis and a fairly in-depth description of the dissemination plans. The listed resources at the home institution seem more than sufficient to accomplish the proposed tasks. The proposed work is well organized and represents a valuable step forward in the ultimate quantification of vehicular emissions. The budget seems appropriate and sufficient. The FUEMS methodologies proposed not only advance the state-of-knowledge, but the very project plan enhances training and learning by the implicit inclusion of a number graduate and undergraduate students in the raw research, and further student exposure by inclusion of breaking data, and the process of data reduction, in various courses. The results are to be further disseminated through webpages, local political organizations, and presentations and publications via professional organizations. The recruitment of students into the program seems to be mostly in-house, but will be advertised through the school's minority program offices.
