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

该提案寻求发展一种一致和详细的方法，以确定和模拟不同时间和车辆尺度上的车辆排放。这种方法的成功开发将是规划者和管理者向前迈出的一步，他们经常为目前可用的模型最准确地预测当地/区域车辆排放而苦苦挣扎。pi在车载测量、环境和运输工程领域有着良好的记录。项目看起来组织得很好，pi仔细地解释了他们的实验、建模和传播计划，包括计划统计分析的细节和对传播计划的相当深入的描述。在母校列出的资源似乎足以完成所提出的任务。拟议的工作组织得很好，在最终量化车辆排放方面迈出了宝贵的一步。预算似乎是适当和充足的。提出的FUEMS方法不仅推进了知识状态，而且通过将一些研究生和本科生隐含地纳入原始研究，并通过在各种课程中包含突破性数据和数据简化过程来进一步提高学生的接触，从而增强了培训和学习。调查结果将通过网页、地方政治组织以及专业组织的介绍和出版物进一步传播。该项目的招生工作似乎主要是在学校内部进行，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.
