• Modeling personal vehicle energy consumption to assess the potential for electrification and decarbonization 

  Needell, Zachary Adam. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)

  This thesis develops a new model of the energy requirements of personal vehicle travel and uses it to evaluate tools to decarbonize the transport sector. Energy use and carbon emissions from transportation are spread across ...

  Application of rate dependent soil model, MIT-SR, for evaluation of long-term ground movements due to consolidation and creep 

  Rellán, Gonzalo (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)

  Saturated clays exhibit rate-dependent behavior (i.e. their stress-strain-strength properties are significantly affected by the applied loading rate). This is of great significance for geotechnical projects, particularly ...

  Last-mile network design for urban commodity distribution in Latin America 

  Mascarino, Esteban Ezequiel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)

  Transportation, as the carrier of freight and passengers, is undeniably one of the fundamental components required for both economic growth and development. In an urban environment, freight movements support most city-based ...
