Joseph Chow presents “Microtransit deployment portfolio management using simulation-based scenario data upscaling”

Online via Zoom

Due to transportation technologies having such heterogeneous impacts on different communities, there needs to be better tools to evaluate the deployment of emerging technologies with limited data. Microtransit is one such technology. We propose a novel methodology to “upscale” the limited data available so that further decision-support analysis and forecast modelling can be achieved where […]

Nico Malfara and Yunfei Zhang present “Applications of Transportation Planning in Practice”

Online via Zoom

This presentation will demonstrate how concepts of transportation planning are applied in practice. Areas of transportation planning such as travel demand modelling, master planning, multi-modal planning, complete streets, transit planning and functional planning will be featured through real-world case studies, such as the City of Mississauga Lakeshore Transportation Studies, City of Brampton LRT Extension, City […]

Dr. Rick Donnelly presents “Rediscovering the lost art of travel forecasting”

Online via Zoom

The point of travel forecasting is to inform decision-makers about the likely impacts of transport policies and investments that will irrevocably shape our cities and regions. In the past we've assumed that tomorrow will simply be a more crowded, prosperous, and congested version of our existing world. But today assuming a "business as usual" progression towards 20-30 […]

Kevin Wong presents “Developing a generative design framework for optimising public transit network design”

Online via Zoom

Despite the plethora of tools and data available to transit planners, transit network design has remained mostly a manual task. Nevertheless, there have been many attempts to use algorithms and computing to optimise transit network design based on geography, demand and operating resources. However, the Transit Network Design Problem (TNDP) and Transit Network Design and […]
