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 […]
The choice of vehicle type is one of the important logistics decisions made by firms. The complex nature of the choice process is due to the involvement of multiple agents. This study employs a random forest machine learning algorithm to represent these complex interactions with limited information about shipment transportation. The data are from commercial travel […]
Tri-POP is an online platform for operations of smart mobility solutions. In its core it combines online analytics for prediction, optimization, and personalization. It uses a bi-level optimization of system and user levels. The system optimization problem is solved periodically (e.g., every 5 minutes) to determine the optimal policy (e.g., pricing, fleet rebalancing, incentive allocation) […]
This presentation outlines a framework for economics in the transport sector and for transportation planning. It develops microeconomic applications for project or program evaluation, looks at current practice in transportation economics, and seeks to answer the question, "How will economics figure in your engineering career?" William Denning William Denning has worked in transportation most of […]

In the era of connected vehicles (CVs), a considerable amount of high-resolution data on vehicle positions and trajectories will be generated in real time. These data can potentially be used to adapt traffic signals in real time to optimize traffic mobility and safety. Existing research has focused on real-time mobility optimization at signalized intersections, and […]
Professor Genevieve Giuliano is Margaret and John Ferraro Chair in Effective Local Government, andDirector of the METRANS Transportation Center at USC Price. About this lecture This research considers strategies that will reduce truck emissions and achieve public health and GHG reduction targets. Freight shipments in urban areas are increasing throughout the world as a result […]
The Transit Analytics Lab (TAL) of the University of Toronto brings together transportation and technology researchers from across the University of Toronto, transit systems in the Golden Horseshoe area, and private sector software providers. Among its objectives are to: foster innovation in transit data-driven tools (analytics) using advanced methods of data science, machine learning, artificial […]
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted virtually all social and economic activities in our society, resulting in changing patterns of travel and traffic congestion in Canada. This analysis first analyzes traffic congestion changes throughout the first and second waves of the pandemic on detected freeway bottlenecks within the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA), using HERE travel […]
