SUMMARY:Emerging Mobility Scholars Conference #EMSC2023
DESCRIPTION:Positive Zero Transport Futures and Mobility Network will host the Emerging Mobility Scholars Conference June 22-23\, 2023 at the University of Toronto. \nWe invite graduate students and postdoctoral fellows across Canadian institutions to join us in person at the University of Toronto to exchange ideas and showcase your research relative to mobility and climate change. \nThe conference theme is: \nCause or Solution? Urban mobility in an era of climate emergency\nDue to socioeconomic shifts and the need to achieve deep cuts in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions\, Canada will experience an unprecedented transformation in urban infrastructures\, policy responses\, and new technologies. \nNowhere is this truer than in the transportation sector\, which is one of Canada’s largest GHG emitters and has historically been relatively impervious to change due to its extreme dependency on fossil fuels. \nThis transformation in our mobility systems needs not only to mitigate climate change but also enable community benefits in an equitable manner. It is crucial that efforts to decarbonize our urban areas be informed by the co-benefits of GHG reduction. \nConference topics\n\nCo-benefits of decarbonization\nLand use and transportation planning\nTechnological response to climate change\nEquity and environmental justice\nTransportation and health\nUrban resilience planning\nPlanning and politics of climate change\nAir pollution in a changing climate\nClimate extremes: Data and modelling\n\nCall for Abstracts\n\nAbstracts to be 300 words or less.\nAll abstracts must be submitted by March 10\, 2023.\nSubmit your abstract through the submission web portal or this QR code:\n\n\nImportant dates\n\nFebruary 9\, 2023: Registration opens.\nMarch 10\, 2023: Abstract submission deadline.\nApril 10\, 2023: Decisions on abstracts.\nJune 20-21\, 2023: Mobility Network Summer School 2023 "Measure what matters: Urban mobility in an era of climate emergency"\nJune 22-23\, 2023: Conference.\n\nRegister\nRegistration is now closed. \nSponsorship\nInterested in sponsoring this conference?

SUMMARY:Transit Analytics Lab (TAL) 2023 Research Day
DESCRIPTION:The Transit Analytics Lab (TAL) of the University of Toronto brings together transportation and technology researchers from across the University of Toronto\, transit systems in the Golden Horseshoe area\, and private sector technology providers and consultants. \nAmong its objectives are to: foster innovation in transit data-driven tools (analytics) using advanced methods of data science\, machine learning\, artificial intelligence\, simulation and statistics; expose the professional community through knowledge transfer activities to advanced analytics; build collaborations with public and private organizations; and establish U of T as a national and international leader in transit data analytics. \nTAL was launched in 2020 with the International Symposium on Automated Transit Data. Since then\, TAL has organized workshops and has been involved in a number of research pursuits\, many of which have practical applications. \nThe time is appropriate to host our annual TAL Research Day workshop that will provide a high-level overview of the many research activities being pursued by the TAL team; please see the Draft Program below. \nThe TAL Research Day will be held virtually and is free\, though registration is required. \nAgenda\n9:00 a.m.         Introduction to the Transit Analytics Lab (TAL)\n\n\n\n\n\nWords of Welcome and Update on TAL Activities (Amer Shalaby)\n\n\n\n\n\n9:15                  Transit Analytics to Support Planning (Moderator: Brendon Hemily)\n\n\n\n\n\nConstructing Origin-Destination Demand Matrix using Wi-Fi and AFC Gate Count Data: A Case Study of Toronto’s Subway Network (Diego Da Silva)\nTrends in Toronto’s Transit Ridership Recovery: Insights from Subway Wi-Fi Records (Roger Chen)\nModelling On-Demand Transit Ridership (Alaa Itani)\n\n\n\n\n\n10:15                  Break\n10:30                 Operations Analytics to Improve Rail Performance (Moderator: Amer Shalaby)\n\n\n\n\n\nImpact of Subway Service Disruption on User Mobility: Analysis and Visualization Using Customer Facing Wi-Fi Data in Toronto (Aidan Grenville)\nShort-term Prediction of Crowd Flows at Subway Stations using Wi-Fi Data and Graph Neural Networks Modelling (Diego Da Silva)\nMitigating Subway Station Overcrowding via Passenger Inflow Control (Chandler White)\nSPUR: Modular\, Data-Driven Mesoscopic Simulation Platform to Analyze Stochastic Railway Networks (Peter Lai)\n\n\n\n\n\n11:30              Lunch Break\n12:30 p.m.     Keynote: A Conversation with John Levin on Transit Data and Analytics\n\nJohn Levin\, Director-Strategic Initiatives\, Metro Transit (Minneapolis)\n\n1:30                 Analytics to Support Bus Operations (Moderator: Brendon Hemily)\n\n\n\n\n\nLeveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) for Improving Public Transit Systems: An Exploration of GPT Models and State-of-the-Art Applications (Jiahao Wang)\nExtraboard Operator Planning and Scheduling Under Uncertainty (Jilin Song)\nImpacts of Transit Driver Advisory System with Space and Time Priorities on Route Performance (Kareem Othman)\n\n\n\n\n\n2:30                Break\n2:45                 Analytics to Support Planning and Deployment of Zero Emission Buses (ZEBs (Moderator: Amer Shalaby)\n\n\n\n\n\nInsights from the Research on ZEB Deployment (Diego Da Silva)\nOptimization Model for Planning On-Route Charging Infrastructure and Schedules of ZEB Fleets (Lorna Licollari)\nData-Driven Prediction of e-Bus Battery Consumption Rates using Machine Learning (Kareem Othman)\n\n\n\n\n\n3:45                 Wrap-Up\n4:00                 End of Research Day\nDownload the TAL 2023 Research Day agenda. \n  \nRegistration\nRegister on Eventbrite for this virtual event. \nFree.
