Sustainability of Urban Consumption Practices Overview Urban logistics are becoming increasingly complex: in addition to the heterogeneity of goods transported and of the means of transportation, urban logistics encompass diverse multiple stakeholders (local authorities, transporters, retailers). The sustainability of goods transported and personal mobility will be a major challenge for both public and private sectors.…
Understanding Mobility Patterns and Decision-making Using an Integrated, Multi-modal Sensing Platform in a Quantified Community Overview City governments all over the world face challenges understanding mobility patterns within dense urban environments at high spatial and temporal resolution. While such measures are important to provide insights into the functional patterns of a city, novel quantitative methods,…
Development of an Open Source Multi-Agent Virtual Simulation Test Bed for Evaluating Emerging Transportation Technologies and PoliciesPrincipal Investigator: Joseph ChowThe Need for a Novel Open-Source Transportation Model Transportation modeling requires substantial transportation data and time-consuming effort for operation and transportation management and policy decision analysis. Large-scale transportation model development is based on various transportation data…
Integrated Analytics and Visualization for Multi-Modality Transportation Data Overview This research project aimed to develop a data-driven approach for modeling cities, with a focus on pedestrian dynamics, which play a fundamental role in urban planning. It focused on detecting and counting objects such as pedestrians, cars, and bicycles in visual data sources that can provide…
A Trusted Data Platform for Transportation Data Sharing Overview Led by INTERCEP founding director Bill Raisch, this project aims to adapt an information sharing and situational awareness technology platform currently used by INTERCEP’s Metropolitan Resilience Network to support transportation data sharing and stakeholder engagement in New York City and each of the C2SMART consortium member cities. This…
