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 dissertation proposes an inclusive framework to analyze ride-pool services, assuming they implement the mechanism of spatial bipartite matching. An agent-based simulator is developed to validate and calibrate the models.
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.
This research assesses a scenario where transit agencies integrate automated vehicles into their existing systems as a first-and-last mile solution for riders to model whether there would be travel time, cost savings, and other impacts to riders.
This project focuses on evaluating the potential applications and representativeness of data from ZipPass, a mobile ticketing app. It will explore how data can be used to estimate transit ridership and understand riders' origin-destinations.
This project will evaluate the potential applications and representativeness of mobile ticketing app data using ZipPass, an app used by Unitrans in Davis, California.
A team at the University of California, Davis, conducted a case study in Sacramento, California, to explore bikesharing as an option for connecting affordable housing residents with transit services. This brief summarizes the findings from that research and provides implications for the field.
Planners lack the tools to effectively measure where bicycle infrastructure improvements will yield the best outcomes. New research from Georgia Tech addresses this problem by developing two new modeling tools, BikewaySim and TransitSim, to assess how bicycle infrastructure can affect cycling and public transit access.
