DESCRIPTION:Dr Xinwu Qian\n11:00 – 12:00 – Dr Xinwu Qian\nPostdoctoral
  associate\,  Purdue University\, USA\n\nModeling Urban Mobility-on-Demand
  Services with Large-Scale Trip Data\n\nUrban Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) ser
 vices\, such as taxicabs\, for-hire vehicles and micro-transit\, intend to
  offer flexible point-to-point mobility solutions to urban commuters while
  minimizing road traffic. More recently\, the urban MoD services have unde
 rgone rapid yet controversial growth and have been criticized for introduc
 ing excessive vacant trips and road congestion. This has led to a resurgen
 ce of interest in framing regulation policies and designing operation stra
 tegies for the efficiency and sustainability of urban MoD services.\nIn th
 is talk\, Dr Qian will present and analyze network models and trip data fr
 om MoD providers for diagnosing the efficiency of MoD services and develop
 ing effective operational strategies. Given the trip data\, he will discus
 s how to quantify the optimal efficiency of MoD services and disclose thei
 r most recent impacts on urban traffic conditions. He will then introduce 
 two effective operation models\, the group ride and the demand-responsive 
 transit\, and their solution approaches to address emerging efficiency iss
 ues in the MoD industry. Finally\, he will conclude his talk by discussing
  the ongoing work on infrastructure and operation preparations for integra
 ting autonomous and electric vehicles into the management of future autono
 mous on-demand mobility.
