  25. Operationalizing Smarter Urban Mobility Systems Jerry Walters Fehr & Peers

  26. Goals for Smarter Mobility Systems • Decisions ASAP and better informed • Better infrastructure design decisions  • Accurate impact assessments of land development • User-oriented transit service plans and station designs • Optimal sizing and integration of on-demand systems • Tailored mobility services to optimize TDM effectiveness

  27. Lab Work • Bus reliability by route segment • GHG, fuel use at traffic signals, roundabouts, stop signs • Biases/inaccuracies in self-reported journey times

  28. Field Work • Transit ridership optimization • Neighborhood parking management enforcement • Bike station analytics: opportunity effectiveness assessment

  29. Leading-Edge Work • Express-lane bottleneck removal through GPS-calibrated simulation • Regional traffic modeling through video and cell O/D identification • Simulation of campus operation, expansion options

  30. Next Gen Studies for Smart Mobility

  31. Next Gen Studies for Smart Mobility • Why and how people travel • Longitudinal measurement • Traveler demographics, market segmentation • O/D data vs built environment (D’s) • Models with complex AI objective functions • Safety studies: • Road, signing and traffic conditions, driver attention

  32. Next Gen Studies for Smart Mobility • Operational improvements • Traffic queues and delays, simulation models • Cruising for parking • Traveler-weighted transit service level • Un-served markets • Service availability, traveler characteristics of transit non-users • Demographics of bike-share users, demographics and journey characteristics of non-users • Comprehensive bicyclist route choice factors, including safety and security

  33. Data Aggregation and Synthesis Needed

  34. A Dozen Data Desires • Higher fidelity traffic flow data • Complete traveler O/D movements by all modes • Operating flow, interactions and incidents among modes • Longitudinal data: before/after stimulus • Land use and employment inventories by parcel • Over-the-net accessibility: time, cost, reliability, uncertainty • * calibrate/ validate

  35. A Dozen Data Desires • GPS verification of household and workplace surveys • Geo-correlation of travel surveys with built context • Transaction data to discern travel purpose • Consistent variable definitions to allow cross-walking data • Consistent sample rates by region • Open data from synthesizers via clients and from big actor data sources • * calibrate/ validate

  36. Multi-Modal Network Simulation - Silicon Valley

  37. Multi-Modal Network Simulation – Kunming China
