UTTRI associated faculty Professor Baher Abdulhai will speak on the panel "Steering towards an AI movement future" at WRLDCTY 2021. See the full conference agenda below. WRLDCTY runs from October 26-28, with Toronto’s program airing on October 27 from 1-7 EST. Born in the early days of the pandemic as one of the first truly […]
As the COVID pandemic began to take hold in Canada in March of 2020, the City of Calgary’s transportation department initiated several streams of work to manage the short- and longer-term impacts. One of these streams involved the use of strategic foresight to create a set of plausible scenarios for Calgary after the pandemic. Based […]
On-demand shared mobility is a promising and sustainable transportation approach that can mitigate vehicle externalities, such as traffic congestion and emission. On-demand shared mobility systems require matching of one (one-to-one) or multiple riders (many-to-one) to a vehicle based on real-time information. We propose a novel Graph-based Many-to-One ride-Matching (GMOMatch) algorithm for the dynamic many-to-one matching […]
UTTRI associated faculty Professor Marianne Hatzopoulou, Canada Research Chair in Transportation and Air Quality, is one of eight speakers taking part in the “Electrification of Public Transport” session of the "Virtual Roadshow on Electrification of Transport" on November 9, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm (EST). See the full agenda here. Register now to attend this […]
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 […]
Join us online to hear the latest about post-pandemic recovery in the freight sector and urban and regional freight innovation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Building on the success of last year’s symposium, Smart Freight Centre’s Symposium 2021 will feature speakers from government and industry leaders and non-profits, as well as updates from […]
Learn about the different types of knowledge syntheses: systematic reviews, scoping reviews, rapid reviews, and more. The similarities and differences between these study types, the different steps in the process, and key aspects critical for ensuring their successful completion. Patricia Ayala Patricia Ayala is Research Services Librarian at University of Toronto Libraries. She has worked on […]
The Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering Distinguished Lecture Series presents "Integrated modelling of land use and transport" by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Wegener, Spiekerman & Wegener – Germany. Climate researchers agree that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions significantly contribute to climate change, and that radical measures to reduce them and to adapt to no longer avoidable […]
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 […]
