UCR INTELLISHARE : AN INTELLIGENT SHARED VEHICLE TESTBED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE

This paper describes the College of Engineering's Center for Environmental Research and Technology at the University of California-Riverside. A major area of research is the relationship between transportation and air quality. Transportation accounts for nearly one-third of all fuel consumption in the U.S. and more than half the air pollutants in urban areas. There are five broad research areas that often overlap: Advanced Vehicle/Transportation Technologies and Systems; Atmospheric Measuring and Modeling, Emissions Measurement, Analysis and Control, Environmental Analysis and Policy, and Renewable Energy. Three laboratories support the research: the Emissions and Fuel Research Laboratory, Environmental Policy, Atmospheric Processes and Modeling Laboratory, and the Transportation Systems and Vehicle Technology Research Laboratory. It also conducts extensive research on shared-vehicle systems and operates its own, the UCR Intellishare system of 25 electric vehicles that operate on a keyless system. CE-CERT will continue to focus on emissions and developing models to track them with a concentration on heavy-duty diesel vehicles and extremely low-emitting vehicles. It will also continue to study shared-vehicle systems.
