Integrating micro-mobility infrastructure, like bikeshare stations, with the transit network can improve first- and last-mile accessibility, making public transportation a more appealing mode of mobility. From the case study of Vancouver, we count the number of bikeshare stations within walking distance of each transit station and color-code the regions according to how many bikeshare stations are in the vicinity of each transit station: Red: No bikeshare stations Yellow: 1-2 bikeshare stations Blue: 3+ bikeshare stations Adding stations strategically can improve integration between the two systems, as the video shows. The thickness of emanating lines from each new station represents the ridership prediction between bikeshare stations (see ridership prediction paper below).

Has there been any consultation with any of the Supply Chain Leaders in Ontario? The mess on the highways is a bottle/queue issue. I do agree with the idea of going underground but not for the entire length, but rather certain stretches. For eg, the 401 around islington road where the express and collectors unite creating a bottle neck. Do the same for other bottlenecks throughout other parts of the highway infrastructure. (Eg westbound where the 403 diverges from the QEW in Burlington, reducing to 2 lanes but also meets up with 3, 407 lanes (in essence, 7 lanes, reduced to 2 into Hamilton). Also tossing it out there- variable speed limits during rush hour and during periods of poor weather. Use the electronic gantry signs along the highways for speed management. Eg My average speed along the QEW in the morning is about 45km an hour, this is a combination of driving at 110km/hr and sitting or rolling for a period of time. Setting the speed limit at say 80km during the rush hour should help with volume management and pace, relieving the bottlenecks of some pressure. Lastly— expand the GO (waiting patiently for the Grimsby GO station, I think the coming soon sign has just celebrated its 5th birthday!), get high speed rail running Windsor - Montreal. #supplychain

NY Gov. Hochul's sudden retreat on congestion pricing suggests that meeting the public acceptance challenge will demand a more modest, but broad-based transition. Mileage-based road-user charges can distribute the burden on motorists more equitably and more moderately, and facilitate the transition to charge by the vehicle, not the fuel consumed. IBTTA's Mark Muriello sets out the essential strategic goals to advance: 1. Focus on revenue generation; 2. Keep it simple at the outset -- add the bells and whistles later on; 3. Create value for motorists through partnerships that give them choices; 4. Foster inter-operability by aligning with existing payment clearinghouse hubs -- don't reinvent the wheel; 5. Implement open-system designs and protocols for maximum flexibility and options. #congestion #pricing #mileagefee

🚗 We'll be presenting at the IEEE ITSC 2024 in Edmonton, CA, sharing insights on two key topics in intelligent transportation: 1️⃣ "Informed Along the Road: Roadway Capacity Driven Graph Convolution Network for Network-Wide Traffic Prediction" 🕚 Time: 11:50 - 12:10 | Date: Thu, 26 Sep | Location: Salon 18 This presentation will explore how the Roadway Capacity Driven Graph Convolution Network (RCDGCN) model enhances traffic prediction by incorporating roadway capacity attributes with analogy to Multinomial Logit Model. 2️⃣ "Toward an Enhanced Risk Assessment Sensitivity for Autonomous Vehicles with the Safety Potential Field Approach" 🕑 Time: 14:30 - 16:30 | Date: Thu, 26 Sep | Location: Foyer We'll present a novel real-time risk assessment metric for autonomous vehicles using the Instantaneous Increment of Potential Energy (IIP) to enhance sensitivity in risk detection, especially for lateral risks. Dachuan Zuo, Jannie/Jingqin Gao, Kaan Ozbay, Fan Zuo. Looking forward to talking to you guys this week! #IEEEITSC2024 #IntelligentTransportation #AutonomousVehicles #TrafficPrediction #AVSafety

🚨 Big News in the Supply Chain 🚨 The union has just voted to give themselves the power to strike if the talks with CN and CPKC don't work out in 60 days. 😬 This is a huge deal because it could affect many people and businesses. According to an article from SupplyChainBrain, titled "Union Vote Gives Authority for Strike Amid CN and CPKC Talks," the decision is important for ongoing labor discussions. Everyone will be keeping an eye on this situation to see what happens next. 🍿 Stay tuned for more updates! 👉 Read more on SupplyChainBrain's website for all the details. #SupplyChain #LaborUnion #StrikeAlert #CN #CPKC #SupplyChainBrain
