Accessible Rendezvous with Automation at the Curb

Autonomous vehicles, both individual and shared shuttles, offer significant mobility benefit to people with disabilities and others who lack use of a personal vehicle. However, they may also exacerbate existing barriers to human-driven shared ride services, such as policy violations, rendezvous failures, and poor curb location selection. We seek to address these barriers by developing recommendations for policy decisionmakers and service providers.

Optimizing urban mobility: A data-driven approach to strategic Mobility Hub placement

2024-12-12T17:07:04-08:00

Cities would need to facilitate a multi-modal mobility platform, which provides travelers with seamless access to a range of emerging mobility options, such as fixed-route or flex-route public transit, micro-transit, ride-sharing, car rentals, bike-sharing, scooters, moped, and walking routes. Those options altogether have potential to improve accessibility to essential resources regarding employment, health care and food. This research acquires mobility service data to understand travel behavior in choosing mobility options, optimize design of such a platform by optimally placing mobility hubs with multiple mobility options, with the ultimate goals of improving accessibility, sustainability and efficiency for underserved populations.
