TransitData 2020 Symposium – ONLINE

Online Event

Technological advances and research on methodologies have dramatically increased the availability and quality of automated data that can be used to develop applications that enhance the planning and operations of public transportation systems. Automated Data Systems include: Advanced Fare Collection (AFC), Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), Automatic Passenger Counting (APC), GTFS-RT, on-board video surveillance, but also new sources of passive data obtained from mobile devices, social media and other Internet of Things (IoT) sensors. A series of workshops have been held in recent years to explore both methodological challenges and potential applications, including: Gifu, Japan (2014), Boston, United States (2016), Santiago, Chile (2017), Brisbane, Australia (2018), and Paris, France (2019) .

The next Symposium will be held August 11-13, 2020 in Toronto, Canada, and we are planning to place more emphasis on applications, and substantially broaden the discussion between practitioners and researchers interested in the use of public transportation automated data.

Dr. Amir Sayegh, GeoTab presents “Leveraging Telematics Data for Intelligent Transportation Systems Design”

Online Event

Title: "Leveraging Telematics Data for Intelligent Transportation Systems Design" Geotab is the #1 provider of telematics according to ABI Research. We collect 40 Billion data points everyday, including GPS, engine data, accelerometer, etc. During this talk, Dr. Sayegh will share how Geotab is using the power of AI to further evolve how intelligent transportation systems […]

Sajad Shiravi, Miovision presents “Traffic Engineering in the Age of Technology and AI”

Online Event

Title: "Traffic Engineering in the Age of Technology and AI" Technology is driving rapid changes in the world of transportation and traffic. These changes are fundamentally changing the role of traffic engineers and scientists in this space. In this presentation we will provide a glimpse into how we are driving innovation in the traffic management […]

Alireza Dianat and Saeed Shakib present “Assessing the Impact of COVID-19 on Travel Behaviour and Demand in the GTHA”

Online Event

This week's seminar features presentations by two University of Toronto PhD students, Alireza Dianat and Saeed Shakib. Alireza Dianat Title: "Do we need to redesign our activity-based travel demand models after COVID-19? A survey to collect data on changes and adaptations in daily activity-travel patterns during and post COVID-19 scenarios." The COVID-19 pandemic affects people’s […]

Patrick Loa and Sk Md Mashrur: “Assessing the Impact of COVID-19 on Travel Behaviour and Demand in the GTHA”

Online Event

This week's UT-ITE seminar features presentations by two University of Toronto PhD students, Patrick Loa and Sk Md Mashrur. Patrick Loa Title: "A survey-based study into the impacts of COVID-19 on the use of ride-sourcing services in the GTA." Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, ride-sourcing services (such as those offered by Uber and Lyft) were […]

Alexandre Milovanoff presents “Electrification of Light-duty Vehicle Fleet alone will not Meet Mitigation Targets”

Online Event

Alexandre Milovanoff Mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from light-duty passenger vehicles (LDVs) will be necessary to maintain global warming below 2 C, and ideally below 1.5 C. In this Seminar, Alex Milovanoff will present the common approaches to reduce GHG emissions from LDVs and the quantitative methods to assess them using life cycle assessment. Mitigation […]

Eric Miller presents “Using an Agent/Activity-Based Microsimulation Model to Test COVID-19 Control Strategies: Model Design & Preliminary Results”

Online Event

Common models for disease spread modelling are usually aggregated, with population heterogeneities ignored. These heterogeneities typically include: Spatial distributions of population size and density Population age structure Age-specific mixing Size and composition of households Travel and out-of-home activity participation patterns. Household-based agent/activity-based microsimulation (ABM) models of daily out-of-home activity and travel such as the Travel/Activity […]

Marlin Ulmer presents “Urban Services with Demand and Resource Uncertainty”

Online Event

The number of instant delivery and transportation services grows rapidly with many competing companies such as Amazon Now, GrubHub, Doordash, GoPuff, MOIA, or Uber. The service-providers respond in real time to customer demand and promise a successful service fulfillment only a short time later. To keep customers happy and to grow the customer base, reliable […]

Willem Klumpenhouwer presents “Talking Demand-Responsive Transit in Canada: Effective, or Exaggerated?”

Online Event

Demand-responsive transit, on-demand transit, microtransit. Adding technology-powered flexibility to transit service is not a new concept, but with smartphones in (almost) every pocket and the emergence of cloud-based applications, a huge number of new on-demand transit services are being piloted in Canada. Many politicians, planners, and operators have looked to on-demand transit as a potential […]
