Shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) can have significant impacts on the transport system and land use by replacing private vehicles. Sharing vehicles without drivers is expected to reduce parking demand, and as a side effect, increase…
The development of public transportation networks and associated transit oriented development policies are efficient tools to mitigate urban sprawl and its negative environmental impacts, especially in terms of commuting emissions. We study…
The potential of integrating public transit with ridesharing includes shorter travel time for commuters and higher occupancy rate of personal vehicles and public transit ridership. In this paper, we describe a centralized transit system…
Public transit plays an essential role in mitigating traffic congestion, reducing emissions, and enhancing travel accessibility and equity. One of the critical challenges in designing public transit systems is distributing finite service…
Public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is crucial for accelerating EV adoption and reducing transportation emissions; however, disparities in infrastructure access have raised significant equity concerns. This systematic…
Ride-sharing services are revolutionizing urban mobility while simultaneously raising significant concerns regarding fairness and driver equity. This study employs Chicago Trip Network Provider dataset to investigate disparities in…
In the governance of the shared mobility market of a city or of a metropolitan area, there are two conflicting principles: 1) the healthy competition between multiple platforms, such as between Uber and Lyft in the United States, and 2)…
Ridesharing is recognized as one of the key pathways to sustainable urban mobility. With the emergence of Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) such as Uber and Lyft, the ridesharing market has become increasingly fragmented in many…
The 15-minute city is a powerful planning concept to counter car-dependence by promoting active mobility to amenities and fostering inclusive urban environments. However, this policy has challenges in amenity-poor urban peripheries. Public…
Congestion pricing, while adopted by many cities to alleviate traffic congestion, raises concerns about widening socioeconomic disparities due to its disproportionate impact on low-income travelers. We address this concern by proposing a…
This paper investigates the potential of autonomous minibuses which take on-demand directional routes for pick-up and drop-off in a grid network of wider area with low density, followed by fixed routes in areas with demand. Mathematical…
Capacity expansions as well as its reduction have been widely anticipated as important countermeasures for traffic congestion. Although capacity expansion had been traditionally well noticed as a congestion mitigation measure, but it was…
Due to accelerated sea level rise and climate change, the transportation system is increasingly affected by recurrent flooding coastal regions, yet the cumulative travel disruption effects are not well understood. In Part 1 of this study,…
The last decade has seen a rapid rise in the number of bikeshare programs, where bikes are made available throughout a community on an as-needed basis. Given that many of these programs are at least partially publicly funded, a central…
The design of future mobility solutions and the design of the mobility systems they enable are closely coupled. Indeed, knowledge about the intended service of novel mobility solutions would impact their design and deployment process,…
In the modern city, the utilization rate of public transportation attached importance to the efficiency of public traffic. However, the unreasonable distribution of transportation platforms results in a low utilization rate. In this paper,…
Today, driverless cars, as a new technology that allows a more accessible, dynamic and intelligent form of Shared Mobility, are expected to revolutionize urban transportation. One of the conceivable mobility services based on driverless…
In most cities, transit consists solely of fixed-route transportation, whence the inherent limited Quality of Service for travellers in suburban areas and during off-peak periods. On the other hand, completely replacing fixed-route (FR)…
Public transit is a critical component of urban mobility and equity, yet mobility and air-quality linkages are rarely operationalized in reproducible smart-city analytics workflows. This study develops a transparent, multi-source monitoring…
This study examines how the introduction of shared electric scooters (e-scooters) affects public transport demand in Santiago, Chile, analyzing whether they complement or substitute for existing transit services. We used smart card data…
