Research Overview
ITS-Davis is internationally recognized for its multidisciplinary approach to transportation studies. Sustainability is a key underlying theme. The world's growing need for increased mobility coupled with pressure to reduce its environmental footprint demands expert research and analysis to inform decision making. To address the challenges, ITS-Davis has built strong research programs in three areas:
- Travel behavior and transport systems modeling
- Environmental vehicle technologies and fuels
- Climate change, air quality, and other environmental impacts
The Institute thrives on a strong network of research partners, both on campus and off, and maintains close relations with ITS affiliates at the University of California campuses in Berkeley and Irvine. Researchers engage in projects with other campus departments as well as with universities and research centers around the world. Strong relationships with government and nongovernmental organizations, and with energy, environmental, and automotive industry experts further enhance the research program.
