The International Council on Clean Transportation has released a report that outlines the global charging infrastructure deployment practices and challenges in major electric vehicle (EV) markets, with an emphasis on public charging facilities. EVs may have the potential to reduce local air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and oil use in the transportation sector.

The International Transport Forum has released a report that examines how the optimized use of on-demand shared transportation modes can change the future of mobility in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area in Finland. The report may provide an evidence base for decision makers to weight the opportunities and challenges created by these new services.

The New Zealand Transport Agency has released a report that investigates if and how systems dynamic modeling could be used for understanding traffic flows at an inter-regional level. The research may improve understanding of the relationship between economic activity, the demand for freight, and the performance of the rail and road network.

The New Zealand Transport Agency has released a report that provides guidance for empirical ex-post evaluation of projects, policies, and other interventions in the transportation sector. The researchers also provide guidance for selecting a method depending on the data that is available and the type of intervention being evaluated.

The International Council on Clean Transportation has released a report that investigates the opportunities for facilitating, and the barriers to financing, the transition to urban bus fleets with diesel or alternative fuel engines that meet Euro VI or U.S. 2010 emission standards. The report provides the technical basis for city officials, local fleet operators, and financial institutions to jointly increase the finance of “soot-free” urban bus fleets in 20 megacities.

The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) has released a report that supplements a set of technology-neutral cost curves published by the ICCT in November 2016 that describe the cost of carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction technology as applied to the European Union (EU) passenger car and light commercial vehicle (LCV) fleet in the 2025–2030 time frame. The research quantifies the extent to which mass reduction technology is discounted under the current EU regulatory structure and the impact of ...

The International Council on Clean Transportation has released a briefing that synthesizes the global development of hydrogen fueling infrastructure to power fuel cell vehicles. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles may offer a way to reach zero emissions goals worldwide. It includes research on hydrogen infrastructure deployment, fuel pathways, and planning based on developments in prominent fuel cell vehicle growth markets around the world.

Austroads has released a report that demonstrates the verification of the new Austroads sprayed seal design guidelines. This study inspected a series of double/double initial seals with a modified binder to investigate whether more robust, longer-lasting initial seals could be developed. The report is available for no fee after logging onto the site.

The National Transport Commission in Australia has released a report that outlines legislative reform options to clarify how current driving laws may be applied to automated vehicles to establish legal obligations for automated driving system entities. The researchers are seeking feedback on whether current laws should be amended in order to develop recommendations for transportation ministers.

The New Zealand Transport Agency has released a report that describes a method for normalizing the diverse data sources that comprise the transportation network. There is a significant amount of data generated by a number of internal and external sources that relate to transportation networks, and this report focuses on transportation-specific data analysis platforms.
