Since its establishment in 1991, the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS-Davis) has become recognized as a leading international university program addressing key transportation technology and policy questions. With studies concentrated in four areas -- advanced vehicle technologies, travel behavior, new mobility systems and the environmental impacts of transportation -- ITS-Davis has grown to encompass 30 affiliated faculty members, 80 graduate students and a $6 million annual budget. ITS-Davis has also actively pursued two other missions: graduate education and public outreach. Here is a list of key ITS-Davis programs and researchers. Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Program: Conducts advanced modeling of hybrid vehicles, carries out policy and technology studies for governmental agencies, and evaluates advanced batteries and other HEV components. Contacts: Andrew Burke, research engineer, (530) 752-9812, afburke@ucdavis.edu. Andrew Frank, professor, mechanical and aeronautical engineering, (530) 752-8120, aafrank@ucdavis.edu. Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) Center: Funded by 17 of the largest automotive and energy companies, this center studies automotive fuel cell systems, which convert hydrogen, methanol or some other hydrogen-containing fuel to electricity. The electricity is used to power the vehicle's electric motor. Depending on the fuel selected, fuel cell vehicles hold the promise of zero or greatly reduced emissions for a car with the range and acceleration of an internal combustion engine. A major activity is the Fuel Cell Vehicle Modeling Program. Contacts: Robert Moore, director, FCV Modeling Program, (530) 752-3810, rmmoore@ucadavis.edu. Bruce Gates, professor, chemical engineering and materials science, (530) 752-3953, bcgates@ucdavis.edu. Diesel emissions program: Research includes a $4 million demonstration and evaluation of advanced low-emission diesel technology for heavy-duty trucks. Contact: Harry Dwyer, professor, mechanical and aeronautical engineering, (530) 752-1777, hadwyer@ucdavis.edu. New Mobility Research Center: Studies the use of smart technologies, shared-use vehicles, small personal vehicles, paratransit, advanced travel planning devices, e-commerce and telecommunications. The CarLink demonstration program, now underway, is investigating the feasibility of up to 60 people sharing 12 automobiles based at the Dublin-Pleasanton BART station. Contact: Pat Mokhtarian, professor, civil and environmental engineering, (530) 752-7062, plmokhtarian@ucdavis.edu. Center for Research on Road and Travel Impacts in Fragile Environments: Studies focused on reducing the escalating transportation and road impacts in fragile environments. While global in its long-term outlook, this center is initially focusing on the Sierra Nevada ecosystem and Yosemite National Park.
