Multi-model simulation-based optimization applied to urban transportation
Transportation agencies often resort to the use of traffic simulation models to evaluate the impacts of changes in network design or network operations. They often have multiple traffic simulation tools that cover the network area where changes are to be made. Nonetheless, these multiple simulators …

THE EFFECT OF URBAN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS ON EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES AND TRAFFIC CONGESTION
… comprises two papers that examine the effect of urban transportation systems on employment outcomes and traffic congestion. The first paper evaluates the labor market effects of subway systems on low-skilled workers. A model of labor supply predicts that this should improve search and employment …

Travel Behavior Dynamics in Multimodal Urban Transportation Systems: Public Transit and Active Mobility
In the context of transportation planning, addressing heterogeneity in travel behavior is essential for developing user-centered and inclusive transportation systems. This dissertation explores the dynamic pattern of travel behavior by investigating the heterogeneity of travel behavior among urban …
