Selected by Hawaii Reporter as one of the 50 people who made a difference in Hawaii in 2003.
Included among the 30 heros of Hawaii in 2007 due to extensive volunteer efforts to improve transportation policy and provide affordable ideas for congestion relief on Oahu.
Selected by the Star Bulletin as one of 10 who made a difference in Hawaii in 2008 among international notables as Hawaii-born U.S. President Barrack Obama, decathlon Olympic gold medalist Bryan Clay and renown painter Peggy Chun.
Named as one of the seven heros: Hawaii Reporter Celebrates 7th Anniversary by Honoring 7 Hawaii Heroes
Ran for Honolulu mayor in 2008 and came third garnering 28,800 votes (~17%) and in the 2010 special election coming third with 38,408 votes (~19%).
Very peased to have received the 2011 PIARC Sustainability research award. Out of 2,000 scientific papers, 620 were selected for the
conference and 8 received awards. Mitropoulos is one of my
doctorate students and
professor Nathanail of Thessaly University spent summers 2009 and 2010 at UH-Manoa.
Can we solve Honolulus pervasive traffic problem? Yes!
Honolulu Traffic Congestion -- Part 1: From Bumper-to-bumper to Zoom-zoom by Removing One Third of It for Less Than $500 Million
Honolulu Traffic Congestion -- Part 2: Up-shift to Overdrive by Removing
another One Third of Honolulu Traffic Congestion for Less Than $5 Billion
Developed a slide show with a mix
of solutions to address Oahu's pervasive traffic congestion problem. The work is titled 20
MINUTES and highlights the goal of having major commutes reduced from 45
to 75 minutes now, to under 20 minutes by 2022. Click this link for a PDF
version of the presentation.
Consolidated fundamental ideas and directions for an
Energy Policy for Hawaii, a state that is too dependent in petroleum and
too fascinated with wind and other undereliable reneables to have a
sustainable energy future. Facts and
plans are included in this evolving slideshow.
In March 2011 the European Commission published a proposed rulemaking for
long term transportation standards in Europe titled TRANSPORT 2050. Drafted a similar policy for the US and developed this side by side 2-page presentation.
