Transit Cooperative Research Program - TCRP’s Post

I am excited to share that I recently attended the Second Scientific Conference on Best Practice in Road Transport and Traffic. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry experts and learn about the latest advancements in the field of Road Safety and Road Transport. I had the privilege, as one of the authors, of presenting my research paper titled "Assessment of the Distance of Objects in the Traffic Environment." The feedback and discussions were incredibly insightful, and I'm eager to continue exploring ways to improve safety and efficiency in Road Transport. #RoadTransport #TrafficSafety #TrafficManagement #ScientificResearch #BestPractices #ConferencePresentation #TransportInnovation #ResearchAndDevelopment #SmartTransport

The paper offers guidance for understanding the endogenous relationship between bus service frequency and patronage growth. We provide a synthesis of the existing literature on the relationship between bus service frequency and patronage growth. By drawing upon both published studies and new scenario predictions for metropolitan Sydney, insights into the dynamics of public transport demand, particularly in urban and suburban areas are provided.

This LinkedIn page is about road safety and research in general. That's why I'd like to share a recently published paper on which I enjoyed collaborating. The paper investigates ride-hailing and public transportation from a multi-modal user perspective. The results show that users claim an integrated ecosystem where they can benefit from both modes. Maintaining and improving PT service levels is still necessary since the low propensity of frequent bus passengers to use ride-hailing in Brazil is due to the costs and benefits associated with both modes. Methodologically, the study is well constructed, incorporating attitudinal variables to bivariate ordered probit models.

ACRP research is meant to be applied! Have you used an ACRP publication to address an issue at your airport? Tell us about it! Impacts on Practice is where the theory meets implementation. https://buff.ly/3WYc09h #ACRPImpact #impactsonpractice #mixeduseaviation

💻 Would you rather take an online survey or attend a virtual meeting? Rutgers VTC is developing a manual on how to choose and employ virtual public involvement (VPI) tools effectively, efficiently, and perhaps most importantly—equitably. This manual will provide structured and research-based guidance for state departments of transportation (DOTs), metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), rural planning organizations (RPOs), and other transportation agencies.  The research approach blends desktop research with quantitative and qualitative research tasks, including surveys, interviews, and focus groups designed to identify best practices for VPI in varied planning and project development contexts. This research is funded by The National Cooperative Highway Research Program. WSP https://lnkd.in/eEf22AJk

My article, "All aboard? An analysis of public opinion regarding high-speed rail," was recently published in Wiley's Social Science Quarterly. This research uses data from the The University of Texas at Dallas's COMETrends Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 surveys to analyze public interest in high-speed rail (of the sort currently under development by Texas Central) and determine the characteristics that may influence a willingness to consider high-speed rail. Many thanks to my co-author Dr. Euel Elliott for his assistance with this project! #highspeedrail #transportationpolicy #utdallas https://lnkd.in/gUi5yXpy

The efficient design of public transportation has become vital than ever before. See our paper that is particularly relevant for those interested in advancing models in public transportation networks for selecting timetables and optimal schedules. Big thanks to co-authors of this paper Prof. Alireza Pooya and the rest of authors for their invaluable contributions and collaboration. #transportation #timetabling #transportation model #optimization

🔎✨ Discover the highlights from our recent Thematic Group webinars, where ECTRI experts share groundbreaking perspectives on mobility and transport research. ⏹ PHOEBE Project Overview, Apostolos Ziakopoulos (National Technical University of Athens) presented the innovative “Phoebe Project: Use cases and methodology”, which brings together the interdisciplinary strength of traffic simulation and others into an assessment framework for road safety. https://lnkd.in/dyeCvzyQ ⏹ "Ex ante or ex post – When should the consequences be evaluated? A Nordic comparison." Johanna Jussila Hammes (Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI)) examined the timing considerations for evaluating the effects of EU legislation. https://lnkd.in/dhARu-Ag 🙏 Big thanks to the presenters, moderators and all participants for enriching discussions. Stay tuned for more impactful webinars! #ECTRIMembers #ECTRITGs #knowledgeexchange
