• Dissertation Defense: INTEGRATED ECONOMETRIC MODELS TO BRIDGE ACROSS RESOLUTIONS: APPLICATION TO CRASH FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY ANALYSIS

  June 25, 2024 at 10:15 a.m. until 12:15 p.m.
  Engineering 2: 202 A

  Safety literature traditionally employs crash frequency models over aggregated data on different spatial scales - micro level (such as segment or intersection) and macro level (such as zone or block) to examine crash occurrence while crash outcome models are employed at the disaggregate level (such as crash or driver record) to examine crash consequences. However, such independent model systems ignore …

• Dissertation Defense: Adoption of Electric Vehicle and Its Impact on Residential Sector Energy Demand

  June 25, 2024 at 12:15 p.m. until 2:15 p.m.
  Engineering 2: 202 A

  The adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) represents a transformative change in the automotive industry. As more households make the transition to EVs, the traditional dependence on fossil fuels for transportation is being replaced by electricity as the primary energy source. This transition has the potential to increase the electricity consumption within households as well as the demand on the power …

• Dissertation Defense: Analyzing the Role of Transportation Network Companies (TNC) within the Transportation Ecosystem

  June 25, 2024 at 2:30 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.
  Engineering II

  This dissertation provides a comprehensive examination of the role of Transportation Networking Companies (TNC) across four dimensions. First, we examined the factors affecting Transportation Networking Companies (TNC) pricing and destination choice behavior using weekday TNC trip data from Chicago spanning January 2019 through December 2019. Towards achieving this goal, we developed a joint model framework where trip fare is modelled …
