Positive Zero presents virtual panel “Roadmap for emission-free road transport and healthy urban living”

Online via Zoom

About the "Place-based solutions for decarbonizing transport" seminar series Place-based decarbonization recognizes that different places have different capacities, paths, and costs for decarbonization; it also involves communities and businesses in designing the cities, towns, and villages they want. This seminar series, "Place-based solutions for decarbonizing transport," hosted by Positive Zero Transport Futures and co-sponsored by […]

Rick Liu presents his MASc thesis “A social equity lens on Toronto transit network performance using a graph theory approach: Examining node criticality, service redundancy, delays and disruptions”

Online via Zoom

Rick Liu will present his MASc thesis "A social equity lens on Toronto transit network performance using a graph theory approach: Examining node criticality, service redundancy, delays and disruptions" via Zoom on August 5, 2022 from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.  All are welcome to attend. Many past studies have examined where transit disruptions are […]

Transit Analytics Lab (TAL) 2022 Research Day

Online via Zoom

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 technology providers and consultants. Among its objectives are to: foster innovation in transit data-driven tools (analytics) using advanced methods of data science, machine […]

Professor Carolina Osorio presents ‘Efficient search in high-dimensional spaces: the case of Bayesian optimization for large-scale urban traffic control’

Online via Zoom

In this talk, we consider high-dimensional traffic signal control problems that arise in congested metropolitan areas. We focus on the use of high-resolution urban mobility stochastic simulators and formulate the control problems as high-dimensional continuous simulation-based optimization (SO) problems. We discuss the opportunities and challenges of designing SO algorithms for these problems. An important component in […]

Antonio Gittens & Peter Stokes of StreetLight Data present ‘Big Data for transportation: applications in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area’

Online via Zoom

Antonio Gittens Antonio Gittens, Solutions Manager at StreetLight Data, has 10 years’ experience in multimodal planning, transportation policy, and software implementation. His experience spans urban and rural, from helping Transport Canada bring emerging mobility to rural Canada, to helping Metrolinx—one of Canada’s largest transit agencies—assess the feasibility of on-demand transit. Peter Stokes Peter Stokes, Regional […]

Sk. Md. Mashrur & Brenden Lavoie present ‘Development of a multimodal network microsimulation model for a regional agent-based travel demand modelling for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA)’

Online via Zoom

Innovative mobility solutions are constantly emerging with the advent of information and communication technologies, offering travellers multidimensional choices including, but not limited to, modes, routes, and locations. Without a fully agent-based and dynamic travel demand microsimulation modelling system, it is impossible to evaluate such emerging mobility solutions/options realistically. The network modelling component is the most […]

Mobility Network presents ‘The Way Forward: Governing transit and integrated mobility’

Online via Zoom

New mobility providers claim that smart technology and services – self-driving vehicles, ride sharing – will increase road safety and reduce emissions and that the data produced can reduce congestion by improving traffic flow. Shared mobility and self-driving vehicles may reduce dependence on personal automobiles or they may worsen traffic and by competing with public […]

Daniel Olejarz presents ‘Transportation planning in unfamiliar environments’

Online via Zoom

Transportation planners often undertake projects outside their home cities or regions. Working in unfamiliar geographies brings a unique set of challenges that can impact project success if not considered early and often. This presentation will identify some of the key challenges faced by planners when contributing to projects in unfamiliar locations and, informed by personal […]

José Holguín-Veras presents “Freight transportation policy and planning in the fight against climate change: The role of connected trucks, land use, and other tools nobody talks about”

Online via Zoom

The obvious changes in the climate—exemplified by former “hundred year weather events” taking place every other year—are adding tremendous urgency to efforts to reduce the emissions produced by mobile sources. In this context, reducing the freight transportation’s environmental footprint is an essential, though extremely hard to achieve, component of sustainability efforts. To a great extent, this […]
