Abstract

Policy analysis is driven by a dominant normative stance that conflates the notion of social welfare with some notion of collective good or, even more restrictively, strictly utilitarian notions of aggregate benefit. In this paper, we suggest how this perspective leads to a strongly aggregative analysis that masks concerns of actors in their unique contexts. We examine the policies of the South Coast Air Quality Management District in Los Angeles, California, USA and argue that they have strongly furthered the status quo at the expense of communities. We illustrate alternative models for analysis in the hope that this type of dialectic might lead to a more inclusive model of rationality. We also hope to take the conversation deeper into notions of justice and not farther away from them, as some attempts to broaden the discussion by appealing to notions of democratization, civic governance, or modernization naively do.

Methodology for determining the best use of road management equipment (Case study: 18 regional offices in south korea)

Abstract

This paper presents a methodology for determining the best use of road fleet/equipment management. The main purpose of this research is to aid public agencies with road fleet/equipment management within a given budget. In order to demonstrate the value of this approach, a case study using data collected for eighteen regional offices of the South Korean Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs were examined. These offices use a computerized system called KAMIS to monitor both the use and condition of road fleet/equipment systematically. This system records the operational history and monitors the current condition of road fleet/equipment management. Road agencies might also want to know whether they currently have sufficient fleet/equipment to handle their actual work, but KAMIS does not provide that type of information. Thus, a methodology uses operational records for road fleet/equipment management, and two evaluation indicators has been developed. Based on the results of the author methodology, fleet/equipment can be classified into several groups: 1) frequently used and important, 2) relatively less used and important, 3) barely used and low importance, and 4) frequently used and low importance. These data can be used by regional offices to effectively lend and borrow fleet/equipment for both long and short term use. Such measures will help save money for the purchase and maintenance of road fleet/equipment. While the study focuses on a specific case study, the decision analysis method can easily be applied by similar decision makers in other countries.

Three-part tariffs with heterogeneous users: Monopoly and duopoly cases

Abstract

Although two-part tariffs are widely studied, only three papers consider three-part tariffs, which consist of an access fee in return for an allowance consumption level along with a unit “overage” price for consumption beyond the allowance. Moreover, none of these papers addresses some elementary and fundamental questions concerning the optimal features of the tariff in the presence of heterogeneous users: (1) How does the overage price (and thus marginal benefit for a high-demand user) compare to the marginal cost of the service? (2) How does marginal benefit compare to marginal cost for a low-demand user consuming at the allowance level? (3) How large is the access fee relative to benefits from the service? The purpose of this paper is to answer these questions by using a simple model with two types of consumers and a constant marginal cost. The analysis is carried out for a monopoly provider and then for the duopoly case, with the outcomes under the two market structures compared.

Emergence of private advanced traveler information system providers and their effect on traffic network performance

Abstract

The emergence of supply-side competition in the advanced traveler information system (ATIS) industry and marketability of private ATIS service are examined. An architectural model in which the ATIS companies collect network information from their subscribers while providing them with real-time traffic information is described. A simulation study on competition and cooperation among multiple private and public information agencies follows. This study focuses on analyzing the interaction among information agencies and the effect of this interaction on traffic system performance.

Abstract

The driving factors for pursuing alternative fuels stem from energy issues associated with fossil based sources. In particular, such sources are finite in quantity, foreign sourced, and directly emit both greenhouse gasses (GHGs) and criteria pollutants during their utilization. In California, the transportation sector is in the lead for the consumption of overall energy by sector, with passenger vehicles emitting the most GHGs out of the entire transportation sector. Motivated by the large body of legislation and the complex nature of the potential alternative fuel supply chains, the goal of this work is to examine hydrogen as an alternative transportation fuel. To this end, a computer model was developed that allows for the systematic selection of preferred hydrogen supply chains. The goals of this thesis are to: 1) Establish spatially and temporally resolved generation, distribution, dispensing, and utilization scenarios for fueling the hydrogen transportation sector based on a systematic selection technique, and 2) Quantify the environmental impacts, and energy requirements in comparison to the current supply of petroleum fuels. The modeling approach developed herein, the Hydrogen Fueling infrastructure tool (HFit), takes a global decision-making approach to the creation and evolution of a future hydrogen infrastructure. In order to exercise the HFit, several case studies were conducted with different decision-making datasets. The outputs allowed for the simulation and quantification of a future hydrogen economy within the state of California on a spatial and temporal basis.
