Toward smart Mobility by Enhancing Travel-Time Reliability

Abstract

Here is my abstract – Smart mobility is an essential element in building smart cities. To realize connected and automated smart mobility as a service, the capability to efficiently estimate the travel-time reliability measures responding to various operating conditions is of critical importance. My research topic mostly focuses on a travel-time reliability estimation system, which is applied to determine the effects of the operational changes on the travel-time reliability. The application results to the metro freeway net work in Minnesota indicate the substantial improvements in travel-time reliability after the changes were introduced, indicating the possibility of modeling the causal relation ship between reliability and specific operational strategies.
