This project will investigate the traveler behavior using a nested logit model to balance labor supply and travel demand in the context of shared mobility.
This study develops an analytical framework to automatically generate optimal plans for fleet operations and conversion based on fleet-specific characteristics. The goal of the framework is to allow agencies to minimize the fleet-wide energy use, life-cycle CO2 emissions, and/or economic costs when transitioning to alternative fuels.
Microtransit can potentially offer greater efficiency and more equitable service than ride-hailing services, and it may fill gaps in traditional transit services. Aiming to fill this gap, in 2021, researchers at the University of California, Davis conducted focus groups and an online survey of SmaRT Ride adopters and users of other means of transportation in the Sacramento area.
This paper studies the intersection of policies promoting affordable housing, transit-oriented developments (TODs), and the reduction of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in metropolitan areas.
This research examines the potential for the adoption of a standardized fare payment system throughout California’s transit operators; to better serve their customers and provide seamless trip-planning and payment.
This paper presents a methodology for assessing bicycle first-last mile trips from one area to many possible areas using three visualizations on accessibility, travel times, and transit mode(s) utilized.
Using Atlanta’s MARTA rail system as a case study, this thesis will assess the feasibility of integrating autonomous transit vehicles (transit AVs) into the public transportation system as a first-mile and last-mile solution for riders.
