Characterizing Transport Networks

In an increasingly urbanized world, people remain connected by a complex nexus of roads, rails, paths, and sidewalks that form urban transportation systems and shape travel demand. more...

Simulating Transport for Realistic Engineering Education and Training

Understanding and predicting travel demand and travel patterns is one of the most important
but also most challenging tasks of transport
engineers, planners, and geographers. Tr more...

Historical and Prospective Adoption Rates of Transport Technologies

Traditional transportation forecasts do not consider changes in technology. Yet we know technologies change, and those changes consequently affects underlying behaviours. Providing more...
