Data Driven Approaches For Understanding And Improving Urban Mobility, Yujie Guo
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
With the adoption of advanced information technologies, the transportation system keep innovating. It now offers more travel options, becomes smarter, but meanwhile gets more complicated and imposes more challenges to researchers and practitioners. For example, demand responsive public transit operates according to user demand instead of traditional timetable-based and fixed route services, which brings a lot of convenience to users. These emerging services also reshapes the way people travel. With the popularity of ride sharing services such as Uber and Lyft, people are more accessible to vehicle use without an ownership. Given the increasing popularity of emerging services, it is …

Eav Fleet Management In Transportation And Power Systems, Dongfang Zhao
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Electrical vehicles (EV) by the nature of the technology assume a dual role of supplying transportation mobility and storing electric power. Thus, operations of EV impact both transportation and power grid systems. The design of infrastructure and operations of EV fleet is critical to the benefit of both systems to the society. Thus, this study proposes three models to investigate the optimal design of the infrastructure in both systems and the operations of EV fleets: 1) a dynamic and time-continuous optimization model seeking the optimal design of charging station location and EAV deployment is developed in a station-based car-sharing service …
Exploring The Equity Performance Of Bike-Sharing Systems With Disaggregated Data: A Story Of Southern Tampa, Zhiwei Chen
Exploring The Equity Performance Of Bike-Sharing Systems With Disaggregated Data: A Story Of Southern Tampa, Zhiwei Chen
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The rising adoption of bike-sharing systems brings significant benefits to individuals and society as a whole. However, whether these benefits are distributed throughout society in a fair manner is still an open question. This study presents a methodological framework for assessing the equity performance of bike-sharing systems, with Coast Bike Share system in southern Tampa as a case study. The framework integrates three different datasets: bike-sharing infrastructure, individual travel itineraries and individual sociodemographic attribute data. With these datasets, we model individual accessibility to activity locations using bike-sharing as the mode of transportation by analyzing the “walking-cycling-walking” process of a bike-sharing …
Autonomous Vehicles: An Empirical Assessment Of Consumers’ Perceptions, Intended Adoption, And Impacts On Household Vehicle Ownership, Nikhil Menon
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Emerging automotive and transportation technologies have provided revolutionary possibilities in the way we might travel in the future. Major car manufacturers and technology giants have demonstrated significant progress in advancing and testing autonomous vehicles in real-life traffic conditions. Governmental agencies are grappling with how to plan transportation systems for a world with autonomous vehicles. Past research has shown that not all technologies are immediately welcomed by the public. Autonomous Vehicles would have to likely go through a similar phase, and would need to overcome not just technological challenges but also social barriers for successful penetration into the marketplace. Most previous …
