Research Interests:
Research Grants/Projects:
- Transit Network Planning, Modeling and Operational Analysis
- Funded by: Regional Municipality of Waterloo
- The overarching goal of the proposed work is to enhance the quality and efficiency of transit service within the region in response to the proposed rapid transit initiative and deployment of advanced transit technologies. The proposed work seeks to achieve this goal in three ways:
- To Re-design the GRT conventional transit network in response to the proposed rapid transit alignment
- To develop an in-house route planning methodology which enhances the Regional travel forecasting model’s treatment of public transportation
- To develop operational diagnostic methods and an implementation plan.
- Transit Network Redesign and Supporting Activities
- Funded by: City of Kingston
- The City of Kingston (Kingston Transit) is engaged in a comprehensive, systematic review of transit services in an effort to improve the quality of service and to enhance the efficiency of service provision. The City has identified a redesign of the current route structure as an opportunity to advance the objectives of the system review. The goal of this proposal is to assist KT to redesign its bus network and to increase the ability of KT staff to conduct future route planning/redesign in house.
- Improving Transit Representation in Travel Forecasting Models
- Funded by: Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC)
- The research program develops mathematical methods to represent the dynamic relationship among transit frequency, ridership, and fiscal constraints. The models generated can be used as part of, or in conjunction with, traditional travel forecasting models. The research developed leads to much more robust transit modeling capabilities for regions, cities and transit agencies, allowing governments to invest scarce resources in order to achieve the economic, social and environmental goals associated with greater transit ridership.
