Synthetic data holds the key to determining best statewide transit investments, new NYU Tandon School of Engineering study finds
Synthetically generated population data can reveal the equity impacts of distributing transportation resources and funding across diverse regions, according to new research from NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering that uses New York State as a case study.
Baltimore bridge collapse to have major regional transportation impacts, says Virginia Tech expert
Regional transportation infrastructure: Ralph Buehler Losing a main thoroughfare and one of the only crossings over the Patapsco River in Baltimore will have major regional transportation impacts. Ralph Buehler, an associate professor of urban affairs and planning at Virginia Tech…
Improving traffic signal timing with a handful of connected vehicles
With GPS data from as little as 6% of vehicles on the road, University of Michigan researchers can recalibrate traffic signals to significantly reduce congestion and delays at intersections.
New app developed at NYU Tandon School of Engineering promises to make navigating subway stations easier for people with blindness and low vision
Designed by researchers at NYU Tandon School of Engineering and NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Commute Booster routes public-transportation users through the “middle mile” – the part of a journey inside subway stations or other similar transit hubs – in addition to the “first” and “last” miles that bring travelers to and from those hubs.
Spinoff from Argonne-led innovation hub opens new frontier for batteries
Innovative battery material originally discovered by the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research enables the successful trajectory of California-based Blue Current.
Connecting the Dots Between Car Crashes and Systemic Transportation Challenges
To most of us, the twisted metal and broken glass of a car crash is evidence of driver error, bad luck or both. To Kelcie Ralph, an associate professor of urban planning and policy development at Rutgers, every car crash is a datapoint in the larger story of America’s poorly designed roads.
Argonne and Oak Ridge national laboratories collaborate with Wabtec on hydrogen-powered trains to decarbonize rail industry
Argonne and Oak Ridge national labs have entered into CRADAs with Wabtec, to study hydrogen as an alternative to diesel fuel in the rail industry.
Electric buses can be ‘mobile batteries’, keeping lights on when power cuts
The Biden administration is awarding grants to school districts around the country, totaling about $1 billion, to purchase about 2500 electric school buses. The administration touts electrifying school buses as an important step for reducing emissions and pollution, but the…
On the design of an optimal flexible bus dispatching system with modular bus units: Using the three-dimensional macroscopic fundamental diagram
This project proposes a flexible bus dispatching system using automated modular vehicle technology, and considers multimodal interactions and congestion propagation dynamics. This study proposes a novel flexible bus dispatching system in which a fleet of fully automated modular bus units, together with conventional…
A many-to-many assignment game and stable outcome algorithm to evaluate collaborative mobility-as-a-service platforms
There is a growing need to manage the capacities, allocation, and pricing of mobility services in a Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) ecosystem. City agencies need to assess the impact on other mobility operators and travelers when a new company enters the market,…
Alternative modes of transportation can help with social distancing, good health and wellness
Public transportation systems in urban cities are reducing hours and canceling services as cases of COVID-19 continue to rise. Virginia Tech transportation expert Ralph Buehler says that people who need to travel should consider alternate modes of transportation to not…
