Abstract

There is a growing interest in reducing the amount of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) to reduce overall carbon emissions and energy usage. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has more than 4500 employees, most of which live in and around Knoxville, Tennessee. ORNL is currently developing a pilot commuting program for all employees, which incorporates the use of park-and-ride facilities. This study outlines the methodology behind the preliminary geoanalysis and routing used in developing a lab-wide commuting program. The data used for the study included numbers of employee residences per zip code. Commuting configurations by clustered zip code area and vehicle type were developed. Satellite imagery was used to locate actual, suitable parking facilities to accommodate the specified number of residents involved in each commuting configuration. Routing and estimations of travel times were performed using TransCAD. Energy estimates in kilowatt-hours (kwh) and gallons of gasoline, and gallons of gasoline equivalent, were all determined based on the resulting scenarios. Standard petroleum-fuelled vehicles were used in the initial estimates. Standard electric vehicles were also used in alternative scenarios to estimate potential additional energy and fuel savings. The initial findings from this work will be used to develop a pilot program for ORNL.

Preliminary Routing for a National Laboratory Lab-Wide Commuting Program

Journal Article Moore, Amy M. ; Lapsa, Melissa Voss ; Curran, Scott J. ; ... - Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting [Compendium of Papers]

There is a growing interest in reducing the amount of vehicle miles traveled (VMT), both in public and private sector organizations, in an effort to reduce overall carbon emissions. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and located within close proximity to Knoxville, Tennessee, has more than 4,500 employees, most of which live in and around Knoxville. ORNL is currently developing a pilot commuting program for all employees, which incorporates the use of park-and-ride facilities.

U.S. Department of Energy FreedomCAR & Vehicle Technologies Program: Oil Bypass Filter Technology Evaluation Seventh Quarterly Report April - June 2004

Technical Report Zirker, Larry ; Francfort, James ; Fielding, Jordan

This Oil Bypass Filter Technology Evaluation quarterly report (April–June 2004) details the ongoing fleet evaluation of an oil bypass filter technology by the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) for the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) FreedomCAR & Vehicle Technologies Program. Eight INEEL four-cycle diesel engine buses used to transport INEEL employees on various routes and six INEEL Chevrolet Tahoes with gasoline engines are equipped with oil bypass filter systems from the puraDYN Corporation. The bypass filters are reported to have engine oil filtering capability of <1 micron and a built-in additive package to facilitate extended oil-drain intervals. Thismore »« less

Telecommuting: An alternative route to work

Journal Article Quaid, M

Since 1970, traffic volumes have more than doubled on freeways in the Puget Sound region. Transportation is now the region's single largest energy consumer, and motor vehicles are the leading source of air pollution. The Washington State Energy Office recently completed the Puget Sound Telecommuting Demonstration, a one-year pilot study in which 280 people from 25 organizations worked part-time at home or at a work center near their homes, instead of driving to work. A decrease in transportation energy was the dominant energy impact. The estimated transportation energy savings were about 5,200 Btu annually per telecommuter, with an increase inmore »« less
Estimating the electric vehicle charging demand of multi-unit dwelling residents in the United States

Journal Article Cheng, Xi ; Kontou, Eleftheria - Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability

Abstract Early battery electric vehicle (EV) adopters can access home chargers for reliable charging. As the EV market grows, residents of multi-unit dwellings may face barriers in owning EVs and charging them without garage or parking availability. To investigate the mechanisms that can bridge existing disparities in home charging and station deployment, we characterized the travel behavior of multi-unit dwelling residents and estimated their EV residential charging demand. This study classifies the travel patterns of multi-unit dwelling (MUD) residents by fusing trip diary data from the National Household Travel Survey and housing features from the American Housing Survey.
