Hydrogen Technology Assessment and Selection Model (HyTASM)

Project Summary

Full Title: Hydrogen Technology Assessment and Selection Model (HyTASM)
Previous Title(s): The future of hydrogen fueling systems for transportation: An application of perspective-based scenario analysis using the analytic hierarchy process
Project ID: 121
Principal Investigator: John Winebrake

Purpose

HyTASM is a multi-criteria technology selection model used to select optimal hydrogen fuel cell technology for vehicles. The model allows users (including stakeholder groups) to identify and weigh criteria using the analytic hierarchy process.
