MY LATEST RESEARCH
This study presents an urban transportation simulation model for lifecycle environmental performance evaluation (ALENT). ALENT combines agent-based modeling (ABM) and lifecycle analysis (LCA) to explore the environmental impacts of an existing passenger transportation system with a newly introduced HSR.
In this study, an agent-based model is developed to simulate how commuters travel by autonomous taxis (aTaxis) in real-world road networks. The model evaluates the travel costs and environmental implications of substituting conventional personal vehicle travel with aTaxi travel. The proposed model is applied to the City of Ann Arbor, MI to demonstrate the effectiveness of aTaxis.
