  the urban transportation landscape with mobility services\n\nAbstract\nTh
 e urban transportation system is undergoing a transformative revolution\, 
 driven by various emerging mobility services. These novel mobility solutio
 ns not only challenge classic transportation models but also motivate the 
 research at HOMES. In this lecture\, I will use our several recent studies
  to elaborate on how emerging mobility services have reshaped transportati
 on research from both modeling and methodological perspectives. The lectur
 e will begin with a discussion on ride-hailing and ride-sharing services\,
  then delve into their interaction with general urban traffic networks\, a
 nd finally conclude with a vision of a service-based urban mobility system
 .\n\nAbout the speaker\nKenan Zhang joined ENAC as an assistant professor 
 in September 2023 and leads the Human-Oriented Mobility Ecosystem (HOMES) 
 Laboratory. Her research centers at the mathematical modeling\, optimizati
 on and operations management of urban transportation systems\, with specia
 l focus on emerging mobility services and technologies. She received her P
 hD in Transportation Engineering from Northwestern University\, and before
  joining EPFL\, she was a postdoctoral research at ETH Zurich. She was awa
 rded the CEE Rising Star (2020) and COTA Best Dissertation Award (2023).\n
