The award is given annually for the best paper that appears in the Journal of Infrastructure Systems. Peeta and his former Ph.D. student, Mohammad Miralinaghi, currently a postdoctoral research associate at Purdue University, were honored for “Design of a Multiperiod Tradable Credit Scheme under Vehicular Emissions Caps and Traveler Heterogeneity in Future Credit Price Perception.”
In particular, the award committee cited Peeta and Miralinaghi’s work for its novel pricing-based market-driven mechanism to manage vehicular emissions in an effort to achieve sustainability for urban transportation infrastructure.
