Advanced Urban Mobility<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We study emerging transportation systems\u2014including microtransit, micromobility, electrification, ridesourcing, public transit, and autonomous vehicles\u2014and their effects on travel behavior, accessibility, and urban development. We also use AI-driven methods to evaluate the performance and resilience of mobility systems under climate hazards.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What We Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We study emerging mobility systems and technologies, including public transit, microtransit, micromobility, ridesourcing, electrification, and autonomous vehicles. Our research examines their effects on travel behavior, accessibility, transportation system performance, urban development, and resilience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What We Aim to Achieve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We aim to develop evidence, analytical methods, and planning tools that help communities and transportation agencies better understand and evaluate emerging mobility options. Our goal is to support transportation systems that are more accessible, resilient, efficient, and responsive to changing mobility needs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
