Civil & Environmental Engrg 697PT - ST-AdvPublicTransport&Mobility

Technologies are changing the ways that mobility is provided in cities and regions. This graduate course will address theory and empirical evidence related to public transit and multimodal mobility in cities. Topics will include modeling and design of transit networks, modeling and operation of on-demand services (including microtransit, ridesourcing, and vehicle sharing), and city-scale models of traffic in networks with cars and transit. The course will include emerging research and trends related to automated vehicles, modeling of multimodal networks, and the sustainability of multimodal systems.
