Dataset: Synthetic vehicle trajectory dataset for the metropolitan city of Los Angeles using DDTG

Research Product Type
Data
The analysis of trajectory datasets has numerous applications ranging from urban planning to human mobility understanding, but to protect the privacy of individuals trajectory datasets are rarely released to researchers. The team uses their proposed, and recently published at IEEE BigData 2022 conference, Data-Driven Trajectory Generator, dubbed DDTG, to generate a synthetic vehicle trajectory dataset in the metropolitan city of Los Angeles.

Dataset: Transit payment preferences of unbanked passengers

Research Product Type
Data
The California Integrated Travel Project aims to allow transit users to pay for transit throughout the state of California with whichever card based, or electronic means of payment they prefer. However, for some passengers some of these options are not available. In this study the research team explores how these un and underbanked passengers will be able to access open payment systems.

Envisioning Micromobility as Public Transit: Two intervention studies in the living lab of Davis, California

  • Principal Investigator Kari E. Watkins, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Davis
To begin to envision micromobility as serving existing public transit and acting as public transportation itself, the researchers will examine the role of pricing on micromobility demand. In this project, the researchers will conduct two pricing-focused field experiments, partnered with the micromobility operator, SPIN, and a railway operator, Capitol Corridor.

Evaluation of Rural Travel Constraints and Travel Burdens in the U.S. and in Rural Zero-Car Households

Research Product Type
Research Report
This study evaluates differences in travel burdens and the factors that drive them in rural and urban contexts in the United States. Using the 2017 National Household Transportation Survey, the authors first evaluate differences in travel burdens across rural versus urban communities, including i) the magnitude of travel burdens, ii) who experiences travel burdens, and iii) the individual and environmental factors that are associated with travel burdens.
