Estimating temporal patterns in travel times along road segments in urban settings is of central importance to traffic engineers and city planners. In this work, we propose a methodology to leverage coarse-grained and aggregated travel time…
Travel time in urban centers is a significant contributor to the quality of living of its citizens. Mobility on Demand (MoD) services such as Uber and Lyft have revolutionized the transportation infrastructure, enabling new solutions for…
The increased availability of large-scale trajectory data around the world provides rich information for the study of urban dynamics. For example, New York City Taxi Limousine Commission regularly releases source-destination information…
This paper studies the problem of scheduling urban air mobility trips when travel times are uncertain and capacity at destinations is limited. Urban air mobility, in which air transportation is used for relatively short trips within a city…
Besides air pollution and commuter stress, traffic congestions also lead to loss of productivity, increase in delay, vehicle operating cost, and accidents. To assuage these issues, several logistics companies are planning to launch air…
The rise of e-hailing taxis has significantly altered urban transportation and resulted in a competitive taxi market with both traditional street-hailing and e-hailing taxis. The new mobility services provide similar door-to-door rides as…
The paper presents a general analytic framework to model transit systems that provide door-to-door service. The model includes as special cases non-shared taxi and demand responsive transportation (DRT). In the latter we include both,…
Understanding city-scale vehicular mobility and trip patterns is essential to addressing many problems, from transportation and pollution to public safety, among others. Using spatio-temporal analysis of vehicular mobility, promising…
Uber's business is highly real-time in nature. PBs of data is continuously being collected from the end users such as Uber drivers, riders, restaurants, eaters and so on everyday. There is a lot of valuable information to be processed and…
This report explores the use of machine learning techniques to accurately predict travel times in city streets and highways using floating car data (location information of user vehicles on a road network). The aim of this report is…
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has the potential to revolutionize transportation. It will exploit the third dimension to help smooth ground traffic in densely populated areas. To be successful, it will require an integrated approach able to…
Meeting-point-based feeder services using EVs have good potential to achieve an efficient and clean on-demand mobility service. However, customer-to-meeting-point, vehicle routing, and charging scheduling need to be jointly optimized to…
Passengers' experience is becoming a key metric to evaluate the air transportation system's performance. Efficient and robust tools to handle airport operations are needed along with a better understanding of passengers' interests and…
While conventional shared demand-responsive transportation (SDRT) systems mostly operate on a door-to-door policy, the usage of meeting points for the pick-up and drop-off of user groups can offer several advantages, like fewer stops and…
We present a tool to calculate distances and travel times between a set of origins and a set of destinations, using different modes of transport in Argentina. The input data for the tool is a set of destinations (a geo-referenced list of…
Since flight delay hurts passengers, airlines, and airports, its prediction becomes crucial for the decision-making of all stakeholders in the aviation industry and thus has been attempted by various previous research. However, previous…
Predicting travel times of vehicles in urban settings is a useful and tangible quantity of interest in the context of intelligent transportation systems. We address the problem of travel time prediction in arterial roads using data sampled…
Urban Air mobility has gained momentum with recent advancements in the electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, offering faster point-to-point air taxi services that could help relieve traffic congestion in chronically…
Our research aims at developing intelligent systems to reduce the transportation-related energy expenditure of a large city by influencing individual behavior. We introduce COPTER - an intelligent travel assistant that evaluates multi-modal…
Uber has recently been introducing novel practices in urban taxi transport. Journey prices can change dynamically in almost real time and also vary geographically from one area to another in a city, a strategy known as surge pricing. In…
