Dr. Lama Alfaseeh presents “Prediction of Greenhouse Gas Emission in Downtown Toronto Using Deep Sequence Learning”

Online Event

Mitigating the substantial undesirable impact of transportation systems on the environment is paramount. Thus, predicting Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions is one of the profound topics, especially with the emergence of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). We developed a deep learning framework to predict link-level GHG emission rate (ER) (in CO2eq gram/second) based on the most representative […]

Dr. Francisco Calderón Peralvo presents “Modelling Mobility Services within Agent-Based Travel Demand Model Systems and Implementation of a Ridehailing Case Study”

Online Event

Modelling increasingly dynamic and complex mobility services requires significant extensions to our conventional agent-based microsimulation (ABM) model systems. A first key aspect focuses on explicit modelling of more complex and dynamic service provision processes, involving several operational activities conducted by service providers (e.g., matching, fleet rebalancing, dynamic pricing, etc.). A second key aspect consists of […]

Dr. Megan Katsumi presents “Understanding Transportation Data with Ontologies”

Online Event

Transportation systems - and the planning decisions that mold these systems - are important factors that influence both food and health supply chains. The ability to make good decisions about the design and policies underlying these systems requires a significant amount of data. This data is drawn from a wide range of sources and presents […]

Daniel Olejarz presents “AI in Transportation – Industry Trends and Opportunities”

Online Event

This seminar focuses on the current state of applied artificial intelligence (AI) in the transportation industry. The main focus is on describing the different types of AI applications that currently exist in transportation and the demand for data science skills in the industry. Case studies and personal anecdotes inform thoughts on what the future holds […]

Miguel Jaller presents “Who shops online and how sustainable is the delivery process?”

Online Event

All are welcome to attend this free online webinar. Register here on Eventbrite. Description In recent years, the rapid adoption of omnichannel distribution strategies has dramatically changed how […]

Professor Sheng Liu presents “Data-Driven Approaches in Smart City Operations”

Online Event

This talk presents two projects that build data-driven solutions for city operations planning and management. The first part is devoted to the emerging food delivery operations. Working with a major food delivery service provider in China, we develop a data-driven optimization framework to minimize customers' expected delivery delay. To capture the driver's routing behaviors, we […]

Sustainable Infrastructure

Online Event

Summary The COVID-19 crisis has put urban infrastructure under the spotlight. New questions on the ways we build (and build back) infrastructure in cities are now front and centre globally. Faced with a combination of economic, environmental, health and social challenges, cities are learning from each other, experimenting and innovating with strategies in an increasingly […]

Patrick Loa presents “Exploring the Impacts of COVID-19 on Modality Styles for Non-Mandatory Trips in the Greater Toronto Area”

Online Event

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically impacted travel behaviour in cities across the world, affecting how people travel and the reasons people leave their homes. In spite of the pandemic, and consequent the stay-at-home orders, the need to participate in non-mandatory activities remains. These activities, which include grocery shopping, social activities, and recreational activities, play a […]

Dr. Brendon Hemily presents “From SOP to DRIP to Business Intelligence: Challenges of Using ITS Data for Transit Planning & Management”

Online Event

Transit technologies such as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Advanced Fare Collection (AFC), as well as others, offer tremendous opportunities to support transit planning and management, but progress in the industry to seize on these opportunities has been slow. Dr. Brendon Hemily has been involved in many projects over the last three decades related to […]
