ABSTRACT: Transportation systems are confronting disruptive changes due to the emergence of new technologies such as shared mobility and autonomous vehicles. Traditional methods of modeling transportation systems do not capture the characteristics of new modes or the behavior of users in response to new modes. Therefore, new and customized methods are needed for i) analyzing human mobility patterns from new data sources, ii) controlling the operation of on-demand mobility services, and iii) optimizing long term planning of transportation infrastructures considering future technologies. In this seminar, Khani presents optimization methods to solve selected problems from the three research needs. He and his team develop and apply these methods in the context of multimodal transportation systems to increase benefits to society.
