Using Disaggregate Vehicle Data To Investigate How Ride-Hailing Services Influence Personal Vehicle Use Across A Metropolitan Region, Michael A. N. Montilla, Matthew Hui, Daniel G. Chatman

Research Reports

App-based ride-hailing has become a popular form of urban transportation. Previous research suggests that it may in some cases enable lower reliance on private vehicles, but that it is also associated with increases in congestion and vehicle miles traveled (VMT). We examined how the introduction of the Uber ride-hailing service in the Boston area related to changes in the average daily VMT of individual vehicles. This research is unique because it focuses on the use patterns of individual automobiles instead of relying on aggregate measures of auto use, or estimates based on surveys, as done in previous research. Using data …

Cordon-Metering Rules For Present-Day And Future Cities, Xiaopeng Li, Yang Li, Heye Huang

Research Reports

Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) play a pivotal role in alleviating urban road network congestion. This study adopts a macroscopic approach to identify strategies for using CAVs to ease traffic congestion and reduce energy consumption. Specifically, this study proposes an Area Transmission Model (ATM) based on Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) suitable for city-level network applications. It also presents a macro-optimization control strategy that utilizes speed advisories to modulate traffic flow across the network, thereby ensuring effective congestion management and enhanced energy efficiency. By employing the city of Madison as a case study, the research examines the optimal speed advisory solution. …

Platform Dynamics And Rapid Scaling: An Empirical Examination Of Growth Drivers In Platform-Based Start-Ups, Noemi Nagy, Richard Bläse, Matthias Filser, Jan Appenzeller, Kaisu Puumalainen

Department of Leadership, Policy, and Lifelong Learning

Understanding the mechanisms that enable rapid growth in platform-based technology start-ups represents a complex yet crucial research imperative for contemporary scholarship. To develop a comprehensive taxonomy of factors that facilitate rapid growth, we conducted a narrative integrative review and thematic synthesis to identify key prerequisites for the successful scaling of platform businesses. Employing purposeful sampling, we then conducted qualitative interviews (N = 13) with founders of two-sided platform start-ups to validate our findings. Our analysis reveals a multidimensional framework of success factors, systematically categorized into entrepreneurial attitudes, organizational resources, and capabilities, strategic business practices and external environmental factors. The findings …

Identity, Familia, And Belonging: Librarians Of Latino American Heritage And Professional Associations, Alicia Long, Denice Adkins

School of Information Faculty Publications

The lack of diversity in the library and information science (LIS) field is a historical problem in a profession that strives to provide access to information for all. Many librarians of Latin American heritage are and have been members and/or leaders of the American Library Association (ALA). Some of them are also members of and participate actively in the National Association to Promote Library & Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish Speaking (REFORMA). The purpose of this case study is to understand how librarians of Latin American heritage (LLAH) experience a sense of belonging within librarianship based on their …

From Realism And Socio-Cognitivism To Ai Constructs: Enhancing Domain Analysis Through Artificial Intelligence?, Martin Thellefsen, Alon Friedman

School of Information Faculty Publications

Introduction. This study explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within the framework of domain analysis (DA), traditionally grounded in socio-cognitive and realist perspectives. The aim is to assess AI's potential to enhance DA's focus on contextual and disciplinary knowledge, while examining possible epistemological challenges.

Method. Building on established concepts from Hjørland’s socio-cognitive DA framework, this paper employs a theoretical review to examine AI's capacity to augment DA by improving classification, retrieval and interdisciplinary mapping within knowledge organisation.

Analysis. The study critically analyses how AI may either enhance or disrupt DA’s philosophical foundations by potentially reducing domain specificity. Particular attention …

Impact: Enhancing Services And Resources Using Focus Groups, Matt Torrence, Allison Symulevich

USF Libraries Faculty and Staff Publications

To enhance the USF Libraries Impact Services program, project leaders identified several stages to collect and examine faculty needs and resource utilization. In May 2024, librarians Matt Torrence and Allison Symulevich received an internal grant to assess faculty preferences regarding available impact services and resources through focus group interviews. This project aimed to gather assessment data and identify additional tools and options for faculty and students. The collected data will be used to update the primary LibGuide and improve the program. Participants will receive information on updated resources and services, along with a summary of the results. The interviews took …

Podcasting As Open Access: A Review And Discussion Of Potential Impact On Scholarly Communication And Promotion, Allison Symulevich, Matt Torrence, Jason Boczar, Jessica Szempruch

USF Libraries Faculty and Staff Publications

Introduction: Academic podcasts are an informal way for faculty members to share their research expertise with an expanded and international audience. In this article, we argue that podcasts are a form of informal scholarly communication and that libraries can contribute to the successful dissemination of this informal scholarly communication.

Description of Service: At the University of South Florida, episodes of faculty-created academic podcasts are posted to the institutional repository, allowing the dissemination of these podcasts permanently via open access. The open-access nature of these materials makes them freely available to faculty, students, and other scholars; additionally, it helps to improve …
