Many cities face the challenges of an increasing population and an increasing rate of private vehicle ownership. The resulting rise in congestion, lack of parking, and pollution cause complicated problems for cities. Data and analytics is the key part to solve the mobility challenge. It not only involves optimization algorithm, demand forecastin...

Spatial Big Data (SBD) refer to spatial datasets of size, variety, and update rate that exceed the capacity of commonly used computing technologies to manage and process the data with reasonable effort. Examples of emerging SBD include temporally detailed (TD) roadmaps that provide speeds every minute for every road-segment, GPS track data from ...

Bike-sharing systems are changing the urban transportation landscape; for example, New York launched the largest bike-sharing system in North America in May 2013, with individual trips expected to exceed 15 million rides for 2017. We have worked with Citibike, using analytics and optimization to change how they manage the system. Huge rush-hour ...

Platooning vehicles---those traveling in a line with short intervehicle distances---experience reduced aerodynamic drag. Given a set of vehicles with origin/destination nodes/times, we model and solve the combinatorial optimization problem of routing them to their destination on time while using the least amount of fuel. Common approaches for ro...

Connections between physics and technological invention and aspects of human life that seem far from science are both unexpected and unexpectedly common. Rather than flowing one way - from physics to gadgets - the connections form an intricate web, linking all aspects of human culture, in a way that frustrates our convenient compartmentalization...

Increasing congestion, excessive fuel consumption and emissions, and unacceptable safety risks remain the major challenges to next-generation highway systems that are meant to be smart and sustainable. All these challenges are linked to frequent stop-and-go traffic that seems inevitable in existing highway traffic systems due to natural limitati...

Urban transportation services exhibit a number of fundamental characteristics that affect market structure as well as operations. These characteristics include economies of scale, the existence of multiple fixed points affecting customer waiting times, and imbalances in flows over short periods of time. The talk will explain these characteristic...

A myriad of factors have contributed to urban congestion in cities around the world where millions of hours are wasted on the road. Such problems are likely to exacerbate as the population density is expected to outpace gains in capacity in a majority of cities. We introduce an innovation to radically improve urban mobility which is made possibl...
