▼ Activity based models and dynamic traffic assignment models have begun to emerge in the transportation planning industry as an alternative method to the traditional four-step model by more realistically representing trip tours on a finer time scale and depicting the effects of time-dependent traffic flow throughout the network. A barrier, however, for many MPOs across the country to developing ABMs and DTA models is the immense amount of resources required to produce and validate a complete network. Having the capability of using trip tables produced using the four-step model allows MPOs to benefit from the advantages of using a dynamic model while accepting some inaccuracies due to inherent incompatibilities between model methodologies. DTA models have predominately lacked the ability to represent transit apart from pre-specified dwell times, yet current initiatives are focused on developing FAST-TrIPs as a dynamic transit assignment model capable of integrating with DTA software packages to better account for variations in transit ridership. This thesis seeks to act as a guide for MPOs looking to implement existing transit trip tables from a four-step model in conjunction with FAST-TrIPs dynamic transit assignment software to analyze the affects of transit vehicle congestion and schedule reliability at the passenger level. Due to innate assumptions made when modeling transit in the four-step model such as transit schedule and accessibility, modelers must take particular care in characterizing inputs for the dynamic model. Proposals are made related to developing the transit network, processing transit demand, and creating configuration settings for the model. A case study set in Austin, TX uses the regional transit network and transit demand to emphasize particular inputs that are susceptible to causing passengers to go unassigned due to the inconsistency of the models while suggesting opportunities to limit such issues. Due to the high variability in current four-step model structures, the goal of this thesis provides readers with the proper knowledge necessary to develop unique processes applicable to their own region.

▼ Development of the transit systems around the nation faces limitations in funding and strict scrutiny of the proposed projects and their potential impact on urban environment. Potential ridership of the proposed transit route becomes one of the key indicators for analysis of investment projects. Transit demand depends on many multifaceted parameters affecting the mode choice of individual commuters. The urban planning as a field faces the demand in creation of a universal model which would allow to estimate transit demand of the areas of different scales and geographies, be simple to interpret and to replicate in any conditions. The research is discussing the process of development of a model able to predict potential transit demand under provision of a certain level of service based on the socio-economic parameters of the area within walking distance of a transit station. The modeling approach is based on the analysis of real transit ridership of rail stations in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Denver and the parameters possibly contributing to the number of passengers using them. The selection of the variables of the model was based on the most recent research in the field and relied on the multidimensional approach including regional and local scales of socio-economic and transit data. The resulting model included ten independent variables with R2 of 0.59 with multiple statistical tests confirming the assumptions of the model and statistical significance of the results with some limitations in accuracy of predictions. The project included creation of a GIS and online mapping tools for deeper analysis of interconnections between built environment and transit demand. The created Transit Demand Index can be used for the analysis of spatial distribution within metropolitan areas to identify the locations where transit investment would have the most significant outcome. The possible applications of this model include preliminary justification of transit projects, small area plans and corridor studies, long-range transportation plans and implementations in Travel Demand Modeling software.

▼ The RetBus project is a plan of the City Council of Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain) and the transit operator TMB aimed at improving the public transport service in the city. The project involves building a new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system called RetBus as well as eliminating or modifying some existing bus lines. The main design objective of the RetBus project is to provide a higher quality bus service to transit users at a lower cost for the operator. TMB and the City Council of Barcelona need to make a decision on whether or not to implement the RetBus project. They would like to make that decision based on the social value and the financial profitability of the project. The thesis contains a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of the RetBus project. Two types of CBA have been carried out: financial cost-benefit analysis (FCBA) and social cost-benefit analysis (SCBA). Based on the results of the FCBA and the SCBA, the thesis also presents some recommendations on what type of changes could be made to the project in order to make it more socially beneficial and/or financially profitable. Two project alternatives have been evaluated. Alternative 1 (TMB plan) corresponds to the RetBus project as it would be implemented according to the plans of TMB: the BRT system is implemented and some changes are made in the bus network in terms of routes and service frequencies. Alternative 2 (Cost-reduction plan) contains all the elements of Alternative 1 plus additional changes to the bus network (21 extra bus lines are eliminated). The project effects included in the CBA are: BRT investment costs, change in fleet replacement costs, change in operating costs, change in operating revenues, transit user benefits, safety effects and environmental effects. Travel demand forecasts are necessary to estimate some of the project effects mentioned above. Those forecasts have been produced by means of a model based on the traditional four-stage transport model. First, a growth factor model has been used to forecast future total trip demand by updating a base year matrix. Second, a multinomial logit mode choice model has been used to perform modal split. Finally, two different models have been used to assign transit and private vehicle travellers to the transit and road networks. The assignment of transit trips is based on a multinomial logit model, while private vehicle trips have been assigned by means of a deterministic user equilibrium (DUE) model. The main conclusions are the following: a) both project alternatives are socially beneficial, although Alternative 2 (Cost-reduction plan) is more beneficial than Alternative 1 (TMB plan); b) Alternative 2 is profitable from a financial perspective, while Alternative 1 is not profitable, the main reason being that operating costs are considerably lower in Alternative 2, while levels of transit ridership and operating revenues are similar in both alternatives, c) the social value of both project alternatives could be improved by increasing the operational speed of the BRT system and/or by speeding up… Advisors/Committee Members: Van Arem, B.

Organiser le secteur du transport pour offrir des solutions de déplacement efficaces est aujourd'hui un enjeu capital pour nos sociétés. La flexibilité, tendant à augmenter la qualité de service, constitue un des leviers pour améliorer les transports. Diverses formes de flexibilité apparaissent en effet dans l'offre actuelle. Dans cette thèse, nous appréhendons plus particulièrement des services opérant dans deux contextes sociétaux distincts :• d'une part, dans un pays industrialisé (la France) où le recours aux transports publics reste minoritaire car la dépendance à l'automobile est toujours très forte ;• d'autre part, dans un pays en voie de développement (le Sénégal) possédant des moyens financiers limités, mais où l'usage des transports collectifs est généralisé, impliquant une grande diversité des modes et une atomisation de l'offre.Nous proposons ainsi d'analyser et de comparer le fonctionnement des transports informels et artisanaux sénégalais (tels que les taxis collectifs) avec celui des systèmes considérés comme plus modernes en France, pour lesquels les capacités d'auto-organisation des individus ont été progressivement remplacées par des systèmes d’information et de communication de haut niveau technologique et logistique. Ces innovations semblent apporter plus d'immédiateté au transport flexible, mais nécessitent en contrepartie un encadrement fort de la part des autorités publiques générant des contraintes réglementaires et spatiales. À l'opposé, les services spontanés et dérégulés qui sont proposés au Sénégal bénéficient d'une plus grande souplesse, au détriment de la sécurité des passagers.L'objectif de la thèse est d'analyser ces services, les modéliser et les simuler afin d'évaluer les apports de la flexibilité. D'un point de vue méthodologique, notre recherche est basée sur un ensemble de modèles inspirés des transports observés en France et au Sénégal, puis implémentés en Systèmes Multi-Agents (SMA) dans l'environnement Netlogo. Certains modèles sont issus d'une analyse fonctionnelle de terrain et d'autres sont plus théoriques. Par l'analyse du comportement d'agents réalisant ces services en concurrence et/ou en coopération, nous identifions d'abord des seuils et des conditions de mise en œuvre en termes d'efficacité et de couverture spatiale. En simulant les modèles sur plusieurs configurations spatiales, nous explorons ensuite leur fonctionnement et nous analysons les atouts et les faiblesse de chacun. Nous les simulons ensuite simultanément pour évaluer leur capacité de complémentarité. Cela nous permet in fine de confronter des systèmes de transports analogues à ceux observés dans les deux contextes sociétaux et d'établir une grille de comparaison en fonction des niveaux de flexibilité identifiés..

▼ The recent advancement in information technologies has facilitated the emergence and growth of travel modes like ride-sourcing, car-sharing, and bike-sharing, providing travelers with unprecedentedly broad travel options. The nature of these options will significantly affect the way how people travel and engage in activities, and therefore lead to transport network impacts. Ride-sourcing, referring to app-based on-demand ride service (ODRS), exhibits similar traits of traditional taxis but provides better real-time information and lowered cost compared to taxis. The fast growth of ride-sourcing also reflects the trend known as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and can be seen as a litmus test of connected and autonomous vehicles which will further transform the transportation landscape. This dissertation explores three main aspects of ODRS using a three-part analysis: an exploratory analysis of the role of ODRS in urban transportation, a discrete choice modeling to understand the choice of ODRS, and scenario forecasting to quantify the potential impact of ODRS on transport accessibility and equity. The dissertation results indicate the critical role that ODRS has in serving transport-disadvantaged population and multimodal travel and filling in gaps of transit, identify the socio-demographic, built environment, and trip characteristics associated with the choice of ODRS, and reveal the substantial accessibility and equity benefits of integrating ODRS with transit. The dissertation also shows strong performance of machine learning travel mode choices and suggests the further integration of machine learning with travel demand forecasting. The findings unveil the potentials of ODRS in elevating transport benefits of the existing infrastructure and point to strategies of leveraging ODRS and autonomous vehicles to improve transport mobility, accessibility, and equity. The results also reveal challenges of realizing the benefits of ODRS and incorporating ODRS into travel demand forecasting, which will have to rely on data collection, public-private collaboration, and research and practical exploration of synergizing ODRS with other travel modes.

▼ Automobile use is associated with significant problems such as air pollution and obesity. Decisions to use the automobile or its alternatives, including walk, bicycle, and public transit, are believed to be associated with urban form. However, in contrast to the hypothesis that compact urban form significantly reduces automobile travel, previous studies reported only a modest effect on travel behavior. These studies, largely built on microeconomic utility theory, are not sufficient for assessing the effect of compactness, for several reasons: (1) The studies postulate that travel invokes only disutility, but travel may also provide intrinsic utility or benefits insomuch as people travel for its own sake; (2) the studies have traditionally focused on how urban compactness reduces the distance between trip origin and destination and accordingly reduces trip time, but urban compactness also increases congestion and reduces trip speed, and thus increases trip time; and (3) the studies have mostly examined automobile commuting, but people travel for various purposes, using different travel modes, and the impact of urban compactness on the utility of non-automobile non-commuting travel has not been duly examined. On this ground, to better explain the effects that urban compactness has on travel behavior, this dissertation refines the concept of travel utility using two additions to the microeconomic utility theory: activity-based utility theory of derived travel demand and approaches to positive utility of travel. Accordingly, it designs a conceptual model that specifies travel utility as an intermediary between urban compactness and travel behavior and examines the behavior associated with and utility derived from travel mode choices for alternative purposes of travel. Twenty individual models are derived from the conceptual model and tested within the context of Seoul, Korea, using a confirmatory approach of structural equation modeling and data from geographic information systems and a structured sample survey, which is initially designed and validated by semi-structured interviews and subsequent statistical tests. By comparing the individual models, this research concludes that the urban compactness effect on travel behavior, represented by trip frequencies and supplemented by mode shares, is better explained when travel utility is considered and if travel purposes are separately examined. Major empirical findings are that urban compactness affects travel behavior mainly by increasing the benefits of travel in comparison to its modest effect on the cost reduction and people’s behavioral response to urban compactness is to shift modes of commuting travel, decrease travel for shopping, and increase travel for leisure. These purpose-specific findings have implications for transportation planners and public health planners by assisting them in linking plans and policies concerning urban compactness to travel purposes.
