Abstract:The transportation sector is responsible for 28% of US greenhouse emissions, with a considerable amount being generated by medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Multiple strategies will be needed to improve efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the trucking industry. Researchers at the University of Southern California developed a truck routing model that minimizes fuel consumption and reduces emissions while explicitly accounting for parking availability and hours-of-service constraints. The researchers used the model to test various scenarios that reflect the practical constraints faced by drivers.
