METRANS Spring 2024 Speaker Series: Evaluating Alternative Strategies for Traffic Reduction in Los Angeles

Using big-data from a rich network of detectors located on all freeways in Los Angeles that measure in real-time speed and flow (that is, car counts), this project will rely on statistical methods and interactive visualization techniques to develop a practical tool for policymakers to infer the effects of alternative strategies for reducing traffic congestion in Los Angeles. 

Spatial Implications of Telecommuting in the United States

  • Principal Investigator Andrii Parkhomenko, Ph.D.
  • University of Southern California
The research team will create a quantitative spatial equilibrium model of on-site and remote worker location choice and transport demand in the contiguous United States in order to examine how the distribution of jobs and residents within and across U.S. cities would change if the 2020 surge in working from home becomes permanent, and what the effect on demand for commuting and freight transport would be.
