IMPACTS OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES ON CONSUMERS TIME-USE PATTERNS

Impacts of Autonomous Vehicles on Consumers Time-Use Patterns

We use the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) to characterize how different consumers in the US might use Autonomous Vehicles (AVs).Our approach is to identify sub-groups of the population likely to benefit from AVs and compare their activity patterns with an otherwise similar group.The first subgroup is working individuals who drive to work with long

Bioreplicated coatings for photovoltaic solar panels nearly eliminate light pollution that harms polarotactic insects.

Many insect species rely on the polarization properties of object-reflected light Microwave for vital tasks like water or host detection.Unfortunately, typical glass-encapsulated photovoltaic modules, which are expected to cover increasingly large surfaces in the coming years, inadvertently attract various species of water-seeking aquatic insects b
