Past Events

Webinar: Using Cycling Impedance to Assess the Potential Benefits of New Cycling Infrastructure

Event Overview

Impedance functions measure the relative difficulty of travel, primarily through travel time. They play a crucial role in deciding which transportation infrastructure projects get funded, yet there is little research on how to measure cycling impedance.

Webinar: Stochastic Ride Sharing System with Flexible Pickup and Drop-Off

The research presents a ridesharing planning scheme that considers uncertainties inherent in the ridesharing system and provides a robust plan that reduces travel time for commuters.
