Inferring the Purposes of Using Ride-Hailing Services through Data Fusion of Trip Trajectories, Secondary Travel Surveys, and Land-Use Attributes – Sanjana Hossain

Sandford Fleming Building, ITS Lab and Testbed, Room SF3103 10 King's College Road, 3rd Floor, Toronto, ON, Canada

Title: Inferring the Purposes of Using Ride-Hailing Services through Data Fusion of Trip Trajectories, Secondary Travel Surveys, and Land-Use Attributes Abstract: The increasing market penetration of ride-hailing services offered by private transportation companies is making it imperative to understand why the trips are being made. Trip purpose information directly relates to the activities for which ride-hailing is […]

Decoding pedestrian and automated vehicle interactions using immersive virtual reality and interpretable deep learning – Arash Kalatian

Arash Kalatian To ensure pedestrian friendly streets in the era of automated vehicles, reassessment of current policies, practices, design, rules and regulations of urban areas is of importance. This study investigates pedestrian crossing behaviour, as an important element of urban dynamics that is expected to be affected by the presence of automated vehicles. For this […]

Everything You Wanted to Know About Report Writing but Were Afraid to Ask – Professor Eric Miller

Sandford Fleming Building, ITS Lab and Testbed, Room SF3103 10 King's College Road, 3rd Floor, Toronto, ON, Canada

This presentation discusses various elements of report writing as a guide to graduate students preparing term project reports, journal articles, theses, etc. It is intended to address some typical issues that our graduate students encounter in their writing. Topics discussed include: report organization; report style; treatment of tables, figures, exhibits and appendices; grammar and syntax; […]

Dr. Amir Sayegh, GeoTab presents “Leveraging Telematics Data for Intelligent Transportation Systems Design”

Online Event

Title: "Leveraging Telematics Data for Intelligent Transportation Systems Design" Geotab is the #1 provider of telematics according to ABI Research. We collect 40 Billion data points everyday, including GPS, engine data, accelerometer, etc. During this talk, Dr. Sayegh will share how Geotab is using the power of AI to further evolve how intelligent transportation systems […]

Alireza Dianat and Saeed Shakib present “Assessing the Impact of COVID-19 on Travel Behaviour and Demand in the GTHA”

Online Event

This week's seminar features presentations by two University of Toronto PhD students, Alireza Dianat and Saeed Shakib. Alireza Dianat Title: "Do we need to redesign our activity-based travel demand models after COVID-19? A survey to collect data on changes and adaptations in daily activity-travel patterns during and post COVID-19 scenarios." The COVID-19 pandemic affects people’s […]

Patrick Loa and Sk Md Mashrur: “Assessing the Impact of COVID-19 on Travel Behaviour and Demand in the GTHA”

Online Event

This week's UT-ITE seminar features presentations by two University of Toronto PhD students, Patrick Loa and Sk Md Mashrur. Patrick Loa Title: "A survey-based study into the impacts of COVID-19 on the use of ride-sourcing services in the GTA." Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, ride-sourcing services (such as those offered by Uber and Lyft) were […]

Alexandre Milovanoff presents “Electrification of Light-duty Vehicle Fleet alone will not Meet Mitigation Targets”

Online Event

Alexandre Milovanoff Mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from light-duty passenger vehicles (LDVs) will be necessary to maintain global warming below 2 C, and ideally below 1.5 C. In this Seminar, Alex Milovanoff will present the common approaches to reduce GHG emissions from LDVs and the quantitative methods to assess them using life cycle assessment. Mitigation […]

Eric Miller presents “Using an Agent/Activity-Based Microsimulation Model to Test COVID-19 Control Strategies: Model Design & Preliminary Results”

Online Event

Common models for disease spread modelling are usually aggregated, with population heterogeneities ignored. These heterogeneities typically include: Spatial distributions of population size and density Population age structure Age-specific mixing Size and composition of households Travel and out-of-home activity participation patterns. Household-based agent/activity-based microsimulation (ABM) models of daily out-of-home activity and travel such as the Travel/Activity […]
