Early bird registration deadline for 2024 Summer School on Inclusive Mobility: Forums: Calls for papers

colleagues,

We are organizing a summer school in the beautiful cities of Ghent and
Rennes this summer, and I think many of the students/young colleagues in
this network might be interested. The deadline to qualify for the Early
Bird Registration fee has been extended to April 15, 2024. We still have
some partial scholarships available for applicants.… https://tmip.org/content/early-bird-registration-deadline-2024-summer-school-inclusive-mobility?utm_source=dlvr.it #tmip

Traffic assignment algorithm micro-service (SaaS): Forums: Calls for papers

I’m just wondering if any vendors offer equilibrium traffic-assignment service in the cloud, as a Software as a Service? Since it’s often the most time-consuming part of any future exploration of scenarios and policy alternatives, it might make sense to offload it, and decouple it from the rest of the analysis.

I have some open-source Frank-Wolfe assignment software we could try to… https://tmip.org/content/traffic-assignment-algorithm-micro-service-saas?utm_source=dlvr.it #tmip

Matching Smartphone Trip Traces to a Network: Forums: We're researching resources for matching smartphone trip traces with networks. Our most current travel diary survey (with a substantial smartphone data collection component) is complete and we're processing and weighting the data. One of the deliverables from the survey is the smartphone telemetry (x,y location pings) for trips. In the past we were able to associate such trips… https://tmip.org/content/matching-smartphone-trip-traces-network?utm_source=dlvr.it #tmip

Toll Facilities: Nighttime Charging: Hi - wondering if anyone can help us with some current research.
We're looking at nighttime charging policies for toll facilities (roads, bridges and tunnels). Some charge full-price, some offer a discount, whereas others relax their charges completely.
Has anybody studied this or the impacts of different charging policies? Know of any studies or reports? Have you conducted model runs to simulate… https://tmip.org/content/toll-facilities-nighttime-charging?utm_source=dlvr.it #tmip

Short Range service planning tools for route/stop ridership and budgeting ???: Forums: 

I recently completed worked on a small system transit planning effort that required estimating the ridership impacts of different options along with their operating costs.   It resurfaced a long time interest and frustration due to lack of recent literature or common practice.

What tools/techniques are now being used for estimating the route / stop level ridership and budget… https://tmip.org/content/short-range-service-planning-tools-routestop-ridership-and-budgeting?utm_source=dlvr.it #tmip

recreational trip in bike mode: In our (city of Bellevue, WA) existing ABM model framework, recreation purpose is not explicitly modeled.
