Simulating policies to achieve 100% zero-emissions vehicle sales in Canada

The overall objective for this project is to support the research of two Master’s students to advance and apply methods for modelling climate policies in transport, a field in which START in the School of Resource and Environmental Management at SFU is one of the leading research teams in the country and in which Navius Research Inc is the leading Canadian consulting firm. The project focuses on advancing the behavioural realism of a technology-adoption model, the AUtomaker-consumer Model (AUM). One intern will improve AUM’s representation of ZEV charging access. A second intern will incorporate at least one measure of consumer equity into AUM. The internships will allow the students to learn valuable analysis and modeling skills, under the guidance of leading modelers in the field. Navius will learn about the AUM model, which will improve their ability to provide climate transport policy analysis.
