Behavioral Responses to Congestion Pricing in New York City: Mode Shift, Preference Change, and Effect Persistence
… the study disentangles underlying preference shifts from observed mode share changes in response to the toll. Stage 1 estimates population-level travel sensitivities to cost and time, while Stage 2 uses a hierarchical structure to capture heterogeneity across demographic segments defined by …

Shared electric scooters and transportation equity : a multivariate spatial regression analysis of environmental factors on revealed travel behavior and mode shift potential
… spatial binning feeds a series of spatial lag models to identify explanatory environmental and demographic variables for trip characteristics. These models reveal that employment density and the location of rebalance points are among the strongest indicators of scooter activity overall, but …

Heike, Jike, Chuangke : creativity in Chinese technology community
… and its implication in China's development mode shift from "Made in China" to "Created in China." It discussed the history of creativity in China and how various types of creativity apply to Chinese technology communities. This thesis investigated Heike, or Chinese hackers, through archival …

Promoting sustainable transportation through the integration of cycling with public transit : lessons from Copenhagen and Munich for Singapore
Sustainable modes of transportation like cycling and public transit are always desired, but trying to achieve a mode shift from the automobile to cycling and public transit can be quite a challenge because cycling and public transit on their own cannot easily replace the convenience and comfort …

Use of advanced composite materials for innovative building design solutions/
… often involve a distinctive dry-to-wet debonding mode shift from material decohesion (concrete delamination) to interface separation (concrete/epoxy interface) in which concrete/epoxy interface becomes the critical region of failure. Such premature failures may occur regardless of the durability …

To drive, or not to drive: Mode choice in daily commute
Mode choice for daily commute refers to the process whereby commuters choose a travel mode for their daily trips to work. Despite its ordinary nature, it often involves a series of decisions and consideration of various factors and barriers. More research is needed to understand the various aspects …

Reducing Private Vehicle Dependency in Metro Vancouver: Overcoming Car Culture Through Mobilities Justice
… and the socio-economic and cultural barriers to shifting travel behavior in Metro Vancouver. It also aims to identify potential solutions that reduce reliance on automobiles, support regional Green House Gas (GHG) reduction targets, and ensure that mobility justice is foundational to all proposed …

Embedded Sensing System for Whispering-Gallery-Mode Optical Resonators
Whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) optical resonators in which light is confined by total internal reflection have found broad applications ranging from optical communications, microlasers, sensing, opto-mechanics to quantum optics. However, overcoming obstacles of practical applications for WGM …

Re-Stitching the Fabric: Urban Highway Removal as anOpportunity for Equitable, Sustainable Transformation
… reclaiming public space, promoting sustainable modes of transportation, and redeveloping newly available land. While past removal projects have undoubtedly improved their urban public realms, they have often missed opportunities to encourage sustainable mode shift and resist community …

From marginalized to optimized : re-envisioning urban highway corridors
… structures associated with the urban highway model were for the most part constructed over 40 years ago and are nearing the end of their functional lives. This fact means that cities must decide whether to rebuild or redesign, and how. The increasing numbers of projects and multiple proposals …

Towards Regional Rail: Strategies for Service Transformation on the Worcester/Framingham Line
… transportation networks and the benefits of mode shift away from the private automobile and towards transit. Over the last three years, changes in journey patterns resulting from the social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have triggered questions about the future of public transit systems, …

Analysis and Evaluation of Household Pick-up and Gathering Behavior in No-Notice Evacuations
… been integrated with transportation simulation models of evacuation conditions. As shown through this work, such omissions generate overly optimistic network performance. Acknowledging the behavior also leads to potential network improvements by moving dependents (people being picked up by other …

Accessibility-based analysis of infrastructure improvements to the Multimodal Western Corridor in Massachusetts
… these changes could allow for a major modal shift to transit for commuters from the largely residential western suburbs to multiple high growth areas in Boston, including Kendall, Downtown, the Innovation District, and Longwood Medical Center. Growth in these areas is currently occurring in …

Development of a High-Speed Rail Model to Study Current and Future High-Speed Rail Corridors in the United States
A model that can be used to analyze both current and future high-speed rail corridors is presented in this work. This model has been integrated into the Transportation Systems Analysis Model (TSAM). The TSAM is a model used to predict travel demand between any two locations in the United States, at …

Understanding Micromobility in New York City: An Examination of Vehicle Type Use and User Behavior in Protected Bicycle Facilities
A shift towards the use of micromobility vehicles (MMVs), specifically motorized two-wheeled vehicles in urban mobility networks, has gained significant attention over the past decade. Many have commented on a perceived increase in MMV use in New York City (NYC) in particular, a trend that appears …

Shared E-scooter Adoption and Mode Substitution Patterns
This thesis explores the adoption and mode substitution patterns of e-scooters using survey data from four metropolitan areas in the southern United States, obtained from Fall 2019 to Spring 2020. For adoption patterns, we find a positive correlation between the use of ridehailing services and …

Intervening in the trip to work. A system dynamics approach to commuting and public health
Background: Car use is the dominant mode of transport in short, habitual journeys to work in many cities, including Auckland. It allows access to a range of employment and training while enabling families to manage other responsibilities. However, car dependent commuting has significant negative …
