Connected Cities for Smart Mobility toward Accessible and Resilient Transportation
A high-level, 5-week authentic research experience in C2SMARTER's traffic and innovation labs
Opportunity to receive mentorship from a C2SMARTER graduate or postdoctoral student
Workshops to prepare ARISE students for the college application process
➡️ Dr. Semiha Ergan’s Future Building Informatics and Visualization Lab (biLAB),
➡️ Dr. Joseph Chow’s Behavioral Urban Informatics, Logistics, and Transport (BUILT) Lab,
➡️ Dr. Kaan Ozbay's Urban Mobility & Intelligent Transportation Systems (UrbanMITS) Lab,
➡️ Dr. Eugene Vinitsky's EMERGE Lab,
➡️ Dr. Daniel Vignon's For the Economic Analysis of Transportation Systems (FEATS) Lab
ARISE students worked with graduate researchers and faculty guidance to develop a simulation using MATSim and real-world, NYCDOT data. The project tested policy
changes and their impacts by making credible predictions about the outcome of certain policy decisions enabling more informed policy decisions.
Students examined how new characteristics of transportation system impact different population groups differently, with an eye toward evaluating equity of these changes across disadvantaged populations -- in particular, women, older people, people with limited English fluency, and people with disabilities.
Students explored the various factors that may have contributed to the adherence to COVID-19 social distancing guidelines, including public transit infrastructure and availability, neighborhood incomes, and education levels.
