Daniel Haufschild, Principal, Arup Daniel Haufschild leads Arup’s Canadian Integrated Planning practice. He is currently Project Director for the planning of the Vancouver SkyTrain extension to UBC, which is examining land development opportunities early in the planning process as a way to unlock the infrastructure investment. He is also leading the Queen Street Bus Rapid […]
Since the expansion of the scale of urban rail construction, the networked structure is becoming a significant characteristic of rail transit systems. Recent research shows a keen interest in the complexity of the network structure, for example, the statistical features of the structure using Complex Network Theory. However, little is focusing on the dynamics during […]
Location: Room SF3103, 3rd floor, Sandford Fleming Building, 10 King's College Road, University of Toronto. MAP The Big Data Innovation Team, in partnership with Municipal Licensing and Standards, prepared an analysis of the impacts of Vehicles for Hire and Private Transportation Companies on the City of Toronto’s Transportation Network including on congestion, equity, transit, and […]
Traffic management in a congested urban/suburban environment – what is different about a congested environment? Micro-simulation as an analysis tool in congested environments Emerging trends (real-time/intelligent traffic management, managed lanes, connected and automated vehicles, tolling, etc.) Some quirks and paradoxes Rob Pringle Rob Pringle is Senior Project Manager at WSP Canada. He has 38 years of experience, […]
Location: Room SF3103, 3rd floor, Sandford Fleming Building, 10 King’s College Road, University of Toronto. MAP With the development of connected vehicles and the upgrade of roadside infrastructures, managing the behaviors of individual vehicles can be much easier and smarter for the purpose of solving traffic congestion and improving mobility services. However, due to the […]
Location: Room SF3103, 3rd floor, Sandford Fleming Building, 10 King’s College Road, University of Toronto. MAP When we talk about transport or see it discussed by the media, the focus often seems to be on delays, congestion, poor transit service, etc. This emphasis on problems and bottlenecks is also visible in current transportation planning and […]
Location: Room SF3103, 3rd floor, Sandford Fleming Building, 10 King’s College Road, University of Toronto. MAP In this talk, we will give an introduction to modeling optimization problems where some parameters of the problem are uncertain and modeled as random variables. For instance, in power generation, energy demand is highly uncertain as well as renewal power supply at the […]
Location: Room SF3103, 3rd floor, Sandford Fleming Building, 10 King’s College Road, University of Toronto. MAP My presentation will discuss “ITE and Emerging Directions in Transportation Engineering”. The presentation will provide an overview of ITE, particularly as it may be of interest to student members. It will then provide an overview of key facets of […]
Location: Room SF3103, 3rd floor, Sandford Fleming Building, 10 King’s College Road, University of Toronto. MAP Many transit agencies and cities are now looking at partnerships with technology providers as a potential solution for areas, times and markets when fixed-route transit is less feasible given density, connectivity, or other considerations. This presentation will explore what […]
In this seminar, Angela will discuss: transportation related resources available via University of Toronto Libraries - to researchers within U of T and outside U of T advanced search techniques and citation management workshops and other library services that may be useful to transportation researchers Angela Henshilwood Angela Henshilwood has been a librarian at the […]
