Integrated Framework to Capture the Interdependence Between Transportation and Energy Sectors Due to Policy Decisions

Record Type: UTC
This study intends to build upon previous work in the field of general equilibrium by developing an analytical framework that integrates the transportation and energy sectors in terms of their interdependencies, and policy instruments, to provide a quantitative tool that can analyze the long-term effects of different types of transportation policies (such as pricing, and various other demand-side or supply-side ones) on the energy sector. The tool will also aim to capture the qualitative evolution of transportation systems due to specific policy decisions related to energy usage or energy mandates (such as fuel efficiency rating of vehicles, and those related to blended fuels and alternative fuels, etc.).
