Using MATSim-NYC to Optimize the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign

Using MATSim-NYC, the BUILT Lab at C2SMART simulated a proposed network redesign to improve the level of service for the users as well as reduce the operating costs for the MTA. Bus network redesigns will impact travelers’ mode, route, and departure time choices, and the synthetic population in MATSim-NYC allows simulations to incorporate potential impacts on all of these to generate optimally designed transit routes.

Undergraduate Summer Research Program

Each summer, members of the Tandon School of Engineering faculty open up their labs to allow NYU Tandon, NYU Dual Degree Program in Engineering (CAS/Tandon), NYU Abu Dhabi, NYU Shanghai, and select non-NYU rising sophomore, junior, and senior undergraduate students to complete 10 weeks of hands-on research.Â
