Webinar: Influencing Travel Behavior via an Open Source: Implementation of OneBusAway in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico

Recorded WebcastsBy Stephanie Lewis September 23, 2021

Thursday, September 23, 2021 @ 12:00PM (EDT) About the Webinar: This project will use the open-source platform OneBusAway developed at USF to explore how travelers choose between public transit, transportation network companies (TNC), and other modes (e.g., micro-mobility) and how to influence this behavior. The project will focus on first and last-mile connections and filling…

Webinar: Pricing Mechanisms for Managed Lanes

Recorded WebcastsBy Stephanie Lewis August 12, 2021

Thursday, August 12, 2021 @ 12:00PM (EDT) About the Webinar: Two common means of pricing Managed Lanes (MLs) are to vary lane-usage tolls based on time of day, or to vary them dynamically based on real-time congestion measurements. Which of the two tolling options is more effective in regulating ML-usage is unclear. Large datasets on…

Webinar: Pricing Mechanisms for Managed Lanes

Recorded WebcastsBy Stephanie Lewis March 11, 2021

Thursday, March 11 @ 12:15PM About the Webinar: Managed lanes (MLs) offer travelers a congestion-free alternative for a price. The two most common pricing mechanisms are variable tolls (based on time of day) and dynamic pricing (based on congestion). In theory, dynamic tolls should be able to regulate demand for MLs more effectively than variable…
