  title = {New Approach to Modeling Large-Scale Transitions to Alternative Fuels and Vehicles},
  abstract = {<p><span>A large-scale transition to alternative fuels and vehicles is challenging. </span><span>New modeling approaches are necessary to supplement existing mod-</span><span>els, such as MARKAL. One promising approach is simulation gam-</span><span>ing. Simulation gaming has been used extensively in many fields, most </span><span>conspicuously in military applications, to provide insights into the </span><span>dynamics of uncertain processes. A large-scale game to simulate tran-</span><span>sitions to alternative fuels and vehicles was developed to explore the </span><span>potential of this approach. Preliminary results of the game play suggest </span><span>a possible counterintuitive dynamic: high energy prices can discourage </span><span>the wide-scale adoption of alternative fuel vehicles because increased </span><span>fuel costs reduce consumers’ ability to pay for more costly alternative </span><span>vehicle technologies.</span></p>},
