Incentive Design for Promoting Ridesharing

Virtual 6 MetroTech Center, Brooklyn, NY, United States

Traffic congestion has become a serious issue around the globe, partly owing to single-occupancy commuter trips. Ridesharing can present a suitable alternative for serving commuter trips. However, there are several important obstacles that impede ridesharing systems from becoming a viable mode of transportation, including the lack of a guarantee for a ride back home as well as the difficulty of obtaining a critical mass of participants. This event addresses these obstacles by introducing a Traveler Incentive Program (TIP) to promote community-based ridesharing with a ride-back home guarantee among commuters.

Proactive Safety Management Empowered by Big Data

Virtual 6 MetroTech Center, Brooklyn, NY, United States

Professor Kun Xie will share a more proactive and time-efficient approach based on surrogate safety measures (SSMs), which can assess safety by capturing the more frequent “near-crash” situations.

Building a Decision Support Tool for Optimal & Equitable Distribution of EV Charging Stations in NYC
