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.

Simulating the Effects of Shared Automated Vehicles and Benefits to Low-Income Communities in Los Angeles

Research Product Type
Policy Brief
Researchers at the University of California, Davis and the Technical University of Berlin evaluated questions around the impacts of automated vehicles by simulating three scenarios in the Westside Cities area using an open-source, dynamic, agent-based travel model called MATSim, then calculated the benefits of each scenario compared to the base case for various income groups.
