Everything You Wanted to Know About Report Writing but Were Afraid to Ask – Professor Eric Miller

Sandford Fleming Building, ITS Lab and Testbed, Room SF3103 10 King's College Road, 3rd Floor, Toronto, ON, Canada

This presentation discusses various elements of report writing as a guide to graduate students preparing term project reports, journal articles, theses, etc. It is intended to address some typical issues that our graduate students encounter in their writing. Topics discussed include: report organization; report style; treatment of tables, figures, exhibits and appendices; grammar and syntax; […]

Housing finance, land use, and transportation networks – David Islip, Quantitative Risk Analyst, Canada Guaranty Mortgage Insurance Company

Sandford Fleming Building, ITS Lab and Testbed, Room SF3103 10 King's College Road, 3rd Floor, Toronto, ON, Canada

David Ryan Islip Abstract: It is recognized that the decision-making processes of households play a fundamental role in land-use planning. Furthermore, in the case of Canada, the housing finance system and its political economy have a significant influence on household decision-making. This session will provide a basis for understanding Canada’s housing system and how it […]

Inferring the Purposes of Using Ride-Hailing Services through Data Fusion of Trip Trajectories, Secondary Travel Surveys, and Land-Use Attributes – Sanjana Hossain

Sandford Fleming Building, ITS Lab and Testbed, Room SF3103 10 King's College Road, 3rd Floor, Toronto, ON, Canada

Title: Inferring the Purposes of Using Ride-Hailing Services through Data Fusion of Trip Trajectories, Secondary Travel Surveys, and Land-Use Attributes Abstract: The increasing market penetration of ride-hailing services offered by private transportation companies is making it imperative to understand why the trips are being made. Trip purpose information directly relates to the activities for which ride-hailing is […]

ITE and emerging directions in transportation engineering, Amy Jiang

Sandford Fleming Building, ITS Lab and Testbed, Room SF3103 10 King's College Road, 3rd Floor, Toronto, ON, Canada

Location: Room SF3103, 3rd floor, Sandford Fleming Building, 10 King’s College Road, University of Toronto.   MAP My presentation will discuss “ITE and Emerging Directions in Transportation Engineering”. The presentation will provide an overview of ITE, particularly as it may be of interest to student members. It will then provide an overview of key facets of […]

Transport planning to improve access to opportunities and travelers’ experience of time: A Dutch perspective – Thomas Straatemeier

Sandford Fleming Building, ITS Lab and Testbed, Room SF3103 10 King's College Road, 3rd Floor, Toronto, ON, Canada

Location: Room SF3103, 3rd floor, Sandford Fleming Building, 10 King’s College Road, University of Toronto.   MAP When we talk about transport or see it discussed by the media, the focus often seems to be on delays, congestion, poor transit service, etc. This emphasis on problems and bottlenecks is also visible in current transportation planning and […]

Hierarchical Traffic Management for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles at Large-Scale Road Networks – Dr. Hao Yang

Sandford Fleming Building, ITS Lab and Testbed, Room SF3103 10 King's College Road, 3rd Floor, Toronto, ON, Canada

Location: Room SF3103, 3rd floor, Sandford Fleming Building, 10 King’s College Road, University of Toronto.   MAP With the development of connected vehicles and the upgrade of roadside infrastructures, managing the behaviors of individual vehicles can be much easier and smarter for the purpose of solving traffic congestion and improving mobility services. However, due to the […]

Traffic planning and management in the real (congested) world: Rob Pringle

Sandford Fleming Building, ITS Lab and Testbed, Room SF3103 10 King's College Road, 3rd Floor, Toronto, ON, Canada

Traffic management in a congested urban/suburban environment – what is different about a congested environment? Micro-simulation as an analysis tool in congested environments Emerging trends (real-time/intelligent traffic management, managed lanes, connected and automated vehicles, tolling, etc.) Some quirks and paradoxes Rob Pringle Rob Pringle is Senior Project Manager at WSP Canada. He has 38 years of experience, […]

A novel evolving model of urban rail transit networks based on the local-world theory – Vivian Xin

Sandford Fleming Building, ITS Lab and Testbed, Room SF3103 10 King's College Road, 3rd Floor, Toronto, ON, Canada

Since the expansion of the scale of urban rail construction, the networked structure is becoming a significant characteristic of rail transit systems. Recent research shows a keen interest in the complexity of the network structure, for example, the statistical features of the structure using Complex Network Theory. However, little is focusing on the dynamics during […]

A household-based optimum utility approach for modeling joint activity-travel choices in congested road networks – Prof William H.K. Lam

Sandford Fleming Building, ITS Lab and Testbed, Room SF3103 10 King's College Road, 3rd Floor, Toronto, ON, Canada

This study proposes a household activity-based network equilibrium model to investigate the effects of intra-household interactions on the joint activity-travel choices of household members in congested road networks.
