Bundled mobility passes : a framework for partnership between public transit and new mobility services
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
The emergence and proliferation of "new" mobility has the potential to fundamentally disrupt urban mobility in the 21st century. This includes bikesharing, carsharing, or on-demand vehicles that can be summoned from a ...
Modeling household residential choice using multiple imputation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
Households are one of the core agents in the urban system. Household behavior plays a crucial role in urban system performance and can profoundly shape the urban landscape. This thesis examines households' behavior in the ...
Measuring travel equity and representativeness : opportunities and challenges of using smartphone-based travel survey in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Dar es Salaam is one of numerous large cities in the developing countries facing tremendous development challenges: growing population, rapid urbanization and motorization, sprawled informal settlements, problematic informal ...
Multi-scale regional transportation governance : evaluating cooperation and decision-making at New York Penn Station
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
This thesis examines the existing regional transportation governance structure in New York City, and use Penn Station and the Gateway Rail Tunnel Project as lenses to explore the effectiveness of governance and the ability ...
Discrimination, regulation, and design in ridehailing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
In the past decade transportation network companies (TNCs) like Uber and Lyft have replaced, supplemented, and disrupted traditional modes of transportation. The rapid growth of these companies makes equitable access to ...
Temporal transferability assessments of vehicle ownership models and trip generation models for Boston Metropolitan Area
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
In the last few decades, travel demand models have undergone tremendous development and, today, are routinely used to support planning and policy decisions. But uncertainty in forecasting with such models is often overlooked, ...
Planning transit networks with origin, destination, and interchange inference
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
The institutional and financial circumstances at many transit agencies significantly constrain the bus planning process. Long-term planning focuses on major infrastructure projects, while short-term planning focuses on ...
Capturing the impacts of land use on travel behavior : comparison of modeling approaches
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Most urban planning literature suggests that compact and mixed-use neighborhoods correlate with lower vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT), and accordingly, lower energy consumption and transportation-related emissions. ...
Modeling inundation impacts on transportation network performance : a GIS and four-step transportation modeling analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
The world's leading climate scientists have reached a consensus that "[w]arming of the climate system is unequivocal" (IPCC, 2007). This warming will carry with it a host of consequences for the global community, including ...
Visualizing urban accessibility metrics for incremental bus rapid transit projects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
As cities worldwide grow, their residents must be able to traverse urban space in order to access employment, social services, recreation, and other critical activities. Urban accessibility reflects the ease of such access ...
