Project: #384 A modeling framework to quantify impacts of mobility services on multimodal transportation systems: Methodology and a case study in Columbus, OH Progress Report - Reporting Period Ending: March 30, 2023 Principal Investigator: Sean Qian Status: Active Start Date: July 1, 2022 End Date: June 30, 2023 Research Type: Advanced Grant Type: Research Grant Program: FAST Act - Mobility National (2016 - 2022) Grant Cycle: 2022 Mobility21 UTC Progress Report (Last Updated: March 14, 2023, 3:28 a.m.) % Project Completed to Date: 80 % Grant Award Expended: 60 % Match Expended & Document: 60 USDOT Requirements Accomplishments Developed mobility service model aims to simulate routing shuttles for rider pick-ups and drop-offs leveraging the real-world data (e.g., rider demand, travel time, and mainline bus schedule). The model has been implemented to simulate traffic and public transit in Columbus region. We show that the market share of public transit can increase by 12% if mobility service can connect people to buses. We have presented the initial results to Honda, Ohio Department of Transportation. We have recorded videos of a 30-min presentation, and share those with stakeholders in Ohio. This project provided training and professional development for two graduate students and one post-doctoral researcher. In the next period, we will continue to work on scenario assessment and present final results to stakeholders. Impacts This research can derive implications of these policies and strategies, which may contribute to the better decision-making in mobility service operation and investment. It also leads to technology transfer by open sourcing all programs and synthesized data. The models, algorithms and systems are open sourced, which has helped private firms and public agencies to assess similar policies in other regions.
