[2611.08748] Dynamic Smart Charging Through Integrated Agent-based Simulation and Optimization Modeling
Coordinated electric vehicle (EV) charging can improve alignment between transportation operations and power-system conditions as electrification expands.
Texas needs more energy and water. Housing is one place to find it.
With projected demand for electricity and water skyrocketing, Texas lawmakers are worried we won’t have enough supply to keep the lights on and the faucets flowing. While most of the attention has been paid to increasing supply, the Legislature shouldn’t forget to look at the demand side too. One promising solution? Giving more Texans the freedom to choose smaller, more efficient homes. Texas is one of America’s fastest-growing states.
Sustainability | Free Full-Text | Predicting Pedestrian Crashes in Texas’ Intersections and Midblock Segments | HTML
1. Introduction Despite being the oldest and most environmentally friendly form of transportation, walking has become increasingly risky in the U.S. While total walk-miles traveled (WMT) is estimated to have risen 16% [] between 2009 and 2017, the number of (reported) pedestrian deaths rose 46% []. Texas averaged 1.14 pedestrian deaths per 100,000 residents in 2019 [], which is 26% higher than the U.S. average of 0.90.

Predicting a Vehicle's Distance Traveled from Short-duration Data
By Ruohan Li, Kara M Kockelman. One (2, 7) day's distance accounts for 10.7 (16.7, 33.6) percent of the variability in that vehicle's annual distance traveled.
Effect of Light-Duty Trucks on the Capacity of Signalized Intersections
Abstract This paper analyzes the impacts of different light-duty trucks (LDTs) on the capacity of signalized intersections. Data were collected at two intersections in Austin, Tex., and regression analysis generated estimates of mean headways associated with various categories of LDTs, as well as passenger cars.
