transportation planning

This project will evaluate sub-regional corridor-scale multimodal planning processes in California that aim to improve multi-modal access and mobility for reaching desired destinations.

This project will implement an open source and/or free-for-public-use activity-based travel demand model in Vermont.

This project will focus on calibration and validation of an in-progress activity based travel demand model for Vermont using the POLARIS modeling system developed by Argonne National Lab.

This project will focus on fundamental methodological development to holistically optimize evacuation plans and transportation systems while accounting for various friction factors. This project will deliver new mathematical modeling and optimization techniques, open-source code, processed datasets, publications, and targeted stakeholder engagement to substantially advance infrastructure resilience and network safety.

This project will use partial vehicle automation systems (SAE Level 2) as a real-world setting to study how vehicle automation technologies influence household mobility, travel demand, and transportation system performance under current market conditions. This project will combine nationwide survey data and a longitudinal panel of California households using econometric analysis to help planners and transportation agencies anticipate regional travel patterns, infrastructure demand, and economic impacts.

This study examines how non-commute travel needs and perceived mode availability are incorporated into data collection, modeling, and decision-making processes.
