SUMMARY:Southern Alberta Webinar: Deerfoot Trail Study
DESCRIPTION:The City of Calgary (The City) and Alberta Transportation (AT) have been working together to study Deerfoot Trail\, approximately 35 kilometers of provincial highway\, which includes 18 existing interchanges and one future interchange at 128 Avenue NE between the Stoney Trail interchanges in the north and south. \nDeerfoot Trail is Calgary’s oldest freeway\, and the busiest in Alberta. The majority of Deerfoot Trail was built between 1971 and 1982. The principal role of the highway is to provide an efficient\, reliable\, and safe connection for motor vehicle traffic and goods movement within\, as well as to and from\, the city. The City’s population has doubled since 1981 and the aging infrastructure is no longer meeting current travel demand\, resulting in congestion\, unreliability and safety concerns. \nThe purpose of the Deerfoot Trail Study\, which began in 2016\, has been to review the existing and forecasted operating conditions throughout the corridor and develop short\, medium and long-term recommendations to enhance safety and mobility for all users within or crossing the highway facility. The study considered a range of possible freeway management strategies\, including some new to Calgary\, and tested these using forecasted growth out to the 2048 planning horizon. The focus was on making the most of the existing infrastructure\, planning for future growth\, and aligning with the Calgary Transportation Plan (CTP). \nSpeakers: \nKen Curry\, P.Eng.\nVice President\nManager\, Traffic and Transportation Planning\nProfessional Overview \nKen has over 30 years of planning\, traffic engineering\, and design experience across Western Canada and the US. He has participated and led a wide range of multi-disciplinary functional planning and design assignments ranging from large corridor planning studies\, interchange functional designs\, through to ITS applications including several reversible lane systems. \nKen led the transportation planning and traffic engineering input for the Gateway Program in the Metro Vancouver Region which involved the widening of Highway 1 over 35 kilometres and the upgrading of 18 interchanges. This project provided relevant background for the recently completed Deerfoot Trail Study where Ken provided technical direction. \nJeffrey Xu\, MScE.\, P.Eng.\nProject Manager\nProfessional Overview \nJeffrey was Project Manager for the Deerfoot Trail Study project. The study considered a range of possible freeway management strategies to improve safety and mobility in the short-\, mid- and long-term. He has over 25 years’ experience of planning\, design\, construction and project management and has worked for consultants\, Alberta Transportation and The City of Calgary delivering transportation projects. \nSince joined the City’s Transportation Planning group in 2013\, he has successfully delivered several major studies\, including 16 Ave NE FPS\, Airport Trail Upgrade FPS\, and Glenmore Trail East FPS. He is working closely with Alberta Transportation on the Deerfoot Trail short-term improvement P3 project. \n \n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://global.gotomeeting.com/join/278829061\n

SUMMARY:CITE Manitoba Section June Webinar
DESCRIPTION:On June 24th\, ITE Manitoba will be holding a webinar featuring Richard Tebinka & Don McRitchie of WSP Canada Inc. who will be presenting on the Winnipeg South Perimeter project\, and Sushreeta Mishra\, winner of this year’s Kean Lew Memorial Student Paper Competition. The webinar will be hosted by Steven Florko of MORR Transportation Consulting Ltd.\, and ITE Manitoba President. \nWebinar Networking \nWe have decided to try something new with this webinar format – the webinar will begin with approximately 10 minutes of breakout groups. This will give participants the chance to catch up and network for a few minutes before the presentations\, just like the in-person days! \nSpeaker 1 and 2 \nRichard Tebinka is WSP’s Manager – Manitoba Transportation\, and the office lead for the Lombard office. Richard has a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Lakehead University\, and a Master of Applied Science from the University of Waterloo. Richard is a registered Professional Engineer in Manitoba\, Ontario\, and Saskatchewan\, a Fellow of ITE\, and spent 10 years on the Manitoba Section executive. He is a member of TAC’s Mobility Management Committee\, and co-author of a just published TAC report on “Public Engagement in Sustainable Mobility Projects”\, and a Past-President of ACEC Manitoba. \nRichard was the Project Manager for the recently completed “South Perimeter Highway Design Study\, and Functional Design for the Future St. Norbert Bypass” project for Manitoba Infrastructure\, and the Senior Advisor on the current Owner’s Engineer assignment for the Design Build of an interchange and related roadworks at PTH 100 and PR 200 (St. Mary’s Road). \nDon McRitchie is a Senior Project Manager with WSP Canada with over 40 years of experience in transportation engineering with federal\, provincial and private sector agencies. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Manitoba. Most of his career has been with Manitoba Infrastructure (MI) where his initial focus was construction management. That transitioned into design engineering\, where he was the Senior Detailed Design engineer for the Province with responsibility for design standards\, design studies\, and the review of all transportation designs. \nLater in his career\, Don was the inaugural head of the Capital Projects Branch which had responsibility for the largest capital works and the first alternative delivery projects undertaken in Manitoba. In that role\, Don was the project manager for the South Perimeter Highway Design Study completed in 2020. He is currently the Deputy Project Manager for WSP’s Owner’s Engineer assignment from MI for the Design-Build project for an interchange at PTH 100 and PR 200 (St. Mary’s Road). \nRichard and Don will be presenting on the South Perimeter Project: \nThe South Perimeter forms the south link of the Perimeter Highway around the City of Winnipeg. It is approximately 42 km in length and travels through four municipalities. Tied to this project is the St. Norbert Bypass\, with travels through a fifth municipality. The Province of Manitoba has committed to examining the South Perimeter to bring it up to freeway standards\, with 22 grade separations\, including interchanges\, river crossings\, and rail grade separations. Currently there is a mix of interchanges\, at-grade intersections\, and at-grade rail crossings. \nThere were a number of challenges along the corridor that needed to be addressed in development of the recommended plan\, including coordinating with a separate Provincial review for short term safety improvements. \nAlternative interchange types were examined\, however\, adjacent constraints often limited the types of interchanges that could be considered. Configurations considered at the various locations included cloverleafs\, Parclos\, trumpet\, diamonds\, diverging diamonds\, and hybrids. \nAddressing the concerns and desires of stakeholders\, such as active transportation proponents\, environmental proponents\, protecting public parks\, a Scouts Canada campsite\, the Seine River (canoe travel\, pedestrians\, cyclists\, and wildlife crossings)\, were among the many challenges. \nSince completion of the study in 2020\, the Province announced the construction of the first new interchange at PTH 100 and PR 200 (St. Mary’s Road) as a design-build project. This presentation will provide an overview of the project and discuss what is planned at the St. Mary’s Road location. \nSpeaker 3 \nSushreeta Mishra is a senior year Ph.D. student in Transportation Engineering (Dept. of Civil Eng.) at the University of Manitoba\, Winnipeg. It’s also her first year as a member and secretary of the ITE University of Manitoba Student Chapter. \nSushreeta’s work experience includes working as a part-time researcher at CUTRIC on an electric bus scheduling project. As a delegate selected from Manitoba for the Young Leaders Summit in Calgary (2019)\, she got a unique opportunity to learn\, showcase ideas\, and network with peers and industry experts in transit and sustainable transportation. Sushreeta’s primary research interest is in transit operations and planning\, and her Ph.D. thesis focuses on optimizing the operation of semi-flexible transit for low-demand conditions. \nSushreeta will be presenting on Stochastic Optimization of Semi-Flexible Transit Operations: \nSemi-flexible transit (SFT) is commonly discussed as a cost-effective alternative to serving public transportation users in low demand conditions. Despite its considerable potential\, implementation of SFT is limited due to two primary operating challenges: (a) fluctuating travel demand and (b) service unreliability. Most researchers recently are rigorously involved in developing complex algorithms and heuristics to handle operational planning issues while a very few focused on optimization of variables for SFT operation involving tactical decision making. Moreover\, the optimization of decision variables are largely based on a single dimension of stochasticity\, demand only. The present study proposes a methodology to optimize two decision variables\, service headway and proportion of requests accepted for curb-to-curb service per trip while operating SFT following a route-deviation operating policy. Implementing stochasticity in both demand and vehicle arrival\, we perform multi-objective optimization with two conflicting objectives as minimization of operator cost and user cost. Pertaining to vehicle delays and demand variability linked to values of decision variables in the Pareto set\, we define the risks associated with selecting each value for attaining Pareto optimality. The risk is proportionate to occurrence of a decision variable value in the Pareto set. The presented methodology can be adopted as a decision support tool to establish planning policies to optimize SFT operation while considering interests of both operator and user. \n \n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://meet.google.com/pbi-pdqs-bhi\n

SUMMARY:SAITE Webinar: Urban Goods Movement - Curbside Management
DESCRIPTION:A webinar in coordination with the ITE Urban Goods Movement Committee \nOver the last decade\, three initiatives have been simultaneously evolving on urban streets: \n• widespread implementation of Complete Streets improvements to better accommodate bicycle\, pedestrian\, and public transit uses; \n• rapid growth of on-demand passenger transportation services; and \n• rapid growth in e-commerce\, including on-demand deliveries. \nDuring the COVID-19 pandemic\, demand for both green transportation options and direct-to-home deliveries have accelerated. In addition\, with the increase in demand for urban deliveries\, the last mile challenge often become a 50 feet challenge\, where commercial vehicles compete with other curb users for available parking. \nHow do we accommodate increasingly complex uses of street and curb space while minimizing multi-modal interactions? \nHow do we invest in technologies to monitor\, allocate and regulate curb space\, and to increase the visibility of the curb? \nJoin us and learn about initiatives on curbside management from this distinguished panel from across the United States. \nModerator\nMadhuri Seera\, M.S.; P.E (AZ)\, P.Eng.\, PTOE\nVice Chair\, ITE Goods Movement Committee \nPanel Members\nDaniel Haake\, AICP\, CMILT\, ENV SP\nChair\, ITE Urban Goods Movement Committee\nChair\, Transportation Research Board (TRB) Trucking Industry Research Committee\nMember\, American Planning Association’s National Legislative and Policy Committee \nDr. Alison Conway\nAssociate Professor at the City College of New York \nDr. Giacomo Dalla Chiara\nResearch Associate\, Urban Freight Lab\, University of Washington\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/ZKV076VniAo\n

SUMMARY:APBP Ontario Chapter/ITE National Capital Section: Nepean Bike Trail Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ontario Chapter of the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP) and ITE NCS on a fun bicycle ride to explore the recently constructed east portions of the Nepean Trail\, a 5 km cycling corridor that runs parallel to and acts as a quiet alternative to busy Merivale Road. Conceived by Nepean residents and promoted by a candidate ward councillor\, this route was included as an ‘affordable project’ in the 2013 Ottawa Cycling Plan. Consisting of a variety of cycling facility types\, the route illustrates how policy for bicycle planning in Ottawa shifted towards a corridor approach in contrast to the previous piecemeal opportunity-based approach. City staff will be present to answer questions and provide information about the planning\, design and construction of the route. \n \nSpace is limited to 25 people\, with priority to active members of APBP or ITE. If you sign up and will not be able make it\, please let us know so we can free up a spot.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Intersections for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to plan\, design and balance the needs of all transportation modes at intersections\nOffered by: CITE Training Committee \nWorkshop Summary \nIntersections are the location where the highest number of conflicts occur\, making them uncomfortable places for people walking\, biking\, and driving. Communities across Canada and North America have been transforming streets to achieve broader objectives (economic development\, climate resilience) and increase multimodal safety. Many designers have found challenges with how to design the intersections. This training workshop will include intersection design approaches for different contexts (urban\, suburban\, cities\, towns) and will provide transportation professionals with: \n\nBetter understanding of the goals for intersection design to achieve safety and mode share objectives;\nKnowledge of the evidence-based research that underpins these goals and selecting design elements;\nHands-on experience designing intersections with innovative design elements.\n\nThe learning objectives for this workshop are to: \n\nIncrease understanding of evidence-based intersection design approaches and principles;\nIncrease knowledge of design guidelines and industry reference resources;\nApply the training materials to real-world intersections\, working through the design process/trade-offs\, during interactive group design exercises; and\nProvide opportunities for peer-to-peer exchange between participants\, share their own experiences.\n\n \nAbout your Workshop Facilitators \n \n \nTyler Golly\, P.Eng.\, RSP1 \nTyler is a Professional Engineer\, registered in Alberta and Ontario\, who has planned and designed multimodal transportation systems in Canada\, the United States\, and New Zealand.

SUMMARY:ITE National Capital Section Webinar: Spatial Mapping of Winter Road Surface Conditions
DESCRIPTION:Spatial Mapping of Winter Road Surface Conditions \nPresenters: Dr. Tae J. Kwon and Mingjian Wu \n \nCITE NCS is hosting Dr. Tae J. Kwon and Mr. Mingjian Wu (winner of the 2021 CITE Student Paper Competition) from the University of Alberta to present their research on innovative new methods to more effectively map winter road surface conditions. Join us to learn more about how this research can help improve traffic safety and mobility in winter climates. \nAbstract: \nWinter road surface condition (RSC) is an important factor for both traffic safety and mobility. Due to its high importance\, jurisdictions are actively seeking to improve the RSC of their road network through employing mobile and stationary road weather information system (RWIS) to facilitate their winter road maintenance (WRM) program. One notable feature of these RWIS stations is that they are equipped with cameras that provide users with a direct view of the road; however\, checking the road to determine the RSC via cameras is still being done manually\, which is an inefficient process that prevents the full utilization of these rich images. Additionally\, due to the high installation and operation cost of RWIS\, jurisdictions can only afford to deploy them to a limited number of locations\, resulting in large spatial informational gaps between stations\, which must be filled in to promote safer driving conditions and lower WRM operation costs. The presenters proposed an innovative methodological framework that incorporates both deep learning and geostatistical methods for the continuous mapping of RSC using two types of RWIS. \nDr. Tae J. Kwon joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta as an Assistant Professor in 2016 after receiving his Ph.D. degree from the University of Waterloo with the prestigious doctoral dissertation award. Dr. Kwon’s research focuses on winter road maintenance\, location optimization of Intelligent Transportation System facilities\, geomatics\, spatial and temporal analyses of road traffic and safety using Big Data and Deep Learning. Dr. Kwon has published nearly 60 papers including peer-reviewed journal and conference papers\, project reports and book chapters. Dr. Kwon received the 2019 Great Supervisor Award for excellent supervisory contributions. In 2020\, Dr. Kwon was awarded the 2020 Faculty of Engineering Early-Career Research Award in recognition of excellence in research and his influence at both national and international levels. Dr. Kwon’s research has been supported by many organizations including NSERC\, Alberta Transportation\, Alberta EcoTrust\, Iowa Department of Transportation\, CIMA+\, and others. \nBeginning in January 2020\, Mr. Mingjian Wu started his PhD career in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta under the supervision of Dr. Tae J. Kwon after successfully defending his MSc thesis. During his MSc studies\, Mr. Wu focused on quantifying the safety effects of driver feedback sign (DFS) and its location allocation strategies under the co-supervision of Dr. Kwon and Dr. El-Basyouny. During his short tenure as a graduate student at the University of Alberta\, he has published a total of 6 publications. Mr. Wu’s current research interests lie primarily in the areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data analysis in winter transportation engineering (e.g.\, winter road maintenance)\, traffic safety and collision modelling\, and facility location and allocation optimizations using various heuristic algorithms.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://global.gotomeeting.com/join/716363365\n

SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta Webinar: The Prairie Sky Gondola - Alberta's urban ropeway as a solution to municipal infrastructure challenges
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 6\nIcebreaker Social: 12:00 – 12:15 PM (MDT)\nWebinar: June 2 @ 12:15 – 1 PM (MDT)\nCost: Free \nAbout the Presentation \nThe application of refined gondola technology in an urban setting is nothing new. Throughout Europe\, Asia\, and South America there are many established and successful projects but there are few examples of cities actively developing urban gondola in North America. The Prairie Sky Gondola Inc. (Prairie Sky) project consists of five experiential and commercially programmed urban gondolas stations connecting the most vibrant\, yet divided\, communities in Edmonton on a 2.5km ropeway alignment. The ropeway is an innovative city building initiative responding to the municipality’s climate goals\, fiscal challenges and commitments to Truth & Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples\, while expanding its infrastructure network as it plans for an explosion in population growth. Prairie Sky will also provide a cost-effective utility for urban commuters that complements existing Edmonton Transit Service infrastructure\, establishing a new way for those in the region to experience Edmonton’s river valley\, the largest urban park in Canada \nAbout the Speakers \nGeorg Josi\, P.Eng.\, Ph.D.\, ENV SP\, is a structural engineer and a Partner at Dialog Design in their Edmonton studio. He has worked on numerous urban infrastructure projects\, such as the River Valley Mechanized Access\, the Walterdale Bridge and the Valley Line LRT. His approach to achieving success is equal parts expertise\, enthusiasm\, diligence\, sincerity\, and inspiration. When asked why he assumed the role as VP of Technical Project Development at Prairie Sky he did not hesitate to share\, “I could not turn down this opportunity to meaningfully improve access to our river valley with sustainable transportation technology\, while linking Edmonton’s two major hubs – Downtown and Whyte. \nJeffrey Hansen-Carlson has been leading Prairie Sky Gondola since its inception. He has spent his career in infrastructure capital and development industry in Western Canada. He has a track record of starting city building organizations. As a director at EllisDon Capital he brings finance\, real estate\, and project development expertise to the project. Why did he take the lead? “I had to. This came out of nowhere. It’s special. Not often can private enterprise unlock such a profound public benefit.” \nVirtual Icebreaker Social\nWe will be holding a social from 12:00 to 12:15 PM to provide attendees the opportunity to mingle just like we would if we were back at the Faculty Club. Participants will be split into breakout rooms to facilitate conversations. This is optional\, anyone who is not interested in the social may log in at 12:15 PM for the webinar. \n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:GVITE Lunch & Learn Webinar - Values-Based Datalytics for Values-Led Transportation
DESCRIPTION:Values-Based Datalytics for Values-Led Transportation\nAbstract\nAs a profession\, we are consulted by decision-makers in the investment of billions of public dollars and the shaping of cities and regions. These are not typical decisions made on a daily basis\, but ones that will result in permanent consequences for current and future generations to come. So how should decisions be based? It is well understood that they should be based on the values of the societies they serve–values such as safety\, equity\, and sustainability. As modern-day data-driven engineers and planners\, we need to embrace and respect the power of data as the basis of decisions. Therefore\, it is paramount we use values-based data and analytics (or “datalytics”) to support our decision makers in shaping a better future. \nThis seminar will cover concepts of values-based data and illustrate their efficacy through a variety of analytics that convert data into strategic intelligence. \nPresenter: Clark Lim\, PEng\, MASc\, FITE\nClark has three decades of experience in public\, private\, and academic sectors\, specializing in analytical methods and information systems for transportation planning and engineering applications. After completing his graduate research at UBC in driver distraction and attention modelling in the early 90’s\, he work on regional surveys and demand models (“EMME/2”) at what is now called Metro Vancouver. During this time he was part of the team that conceived the idea of a modern governance and funding model\, resulting in the establishment of TransLink and the Major Road Network (MRN). Other capacities at TransLink included Project Manager of the Evergreen Rapid Transit Line planning and consultation process (2004-2006)\, and Program Manager for the Research and Technical Services group. \nCurrently as Principal of Acuere Consulting\, he leads the development of cloud-based applications such as congestion measurement systems\, GHG inventory applications\, and JEDI tools that help clients measure and improve their corporate sustainability and diversity quotient. Annually\, Clark lectures on transportation engineering and planning at UBC as an Adjunct Professor\, and as a Visiting Professor at the University of Piura\, Peru. At UBC\, he led the development of a triple-bottom-line methodology for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Commissioned by the IOC\, this study sought to develop a means to measure the performance of Olympic Games Host Cities to become a positive champion for sustainability and social equity. \nThis experience thus far has cumulated into his recent appointment as a member of the new and exciting ITE Data Committee!\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://global.gotomeeting.com/join/119753589\n

SUMMARY:ITE NA Webinar: Dangerous Goods Route and Truck Route Establishment in Lloydminster
DESCRIPTION:Icebreaker Social: November 3 @ 12:00 – 12:15 PM (MDT)\nWebinar: November 3 @ 12:15 – 1 PM (MDT)\nCost: Free \nAbout the Presentation \nThe City of Lloydminster\, along with ISL Engineering\, completed a study of the City’s truck routes and dangerous goods routes. The objective was to review and refine options for alternate truck routes and dangerous goods routes within the City and to consult with numerous stakeholders\, provide a comprehensive signage plan\, and an accompanying cost estimate. The project recognized that changes to the truck routes and dangerous goods routes would require engagement between the City and stakeholders throughout the project to ensure that the City balances the needs and objectives of all stakeholders. The lack of standardized methodologies for designating truck routes and dangerous goods routes created the need for developing clear guidelines to direct the City of Lloydminster’s future decisions. Individual evaluation frameworks were developed for truck routes and dangerous goods routes which would allow route options to be objectively evaluated. \nThis presentation will focus on the process of developing the evaluation frameworks\, lessons learned\, and final recommendations for truck routes and dangerous goods routes within the City of Lloydminster\, following the comprehensive city-wide truck route and dangerous goods route review. \nAbout the Speakers \nOlivia Ryan E.I.T. is a Transportation Engineer-In-Training in ISL’s transportation group in Edmonton. Her areas of expertise include conceptual and functional planning of intersections\, corridors\, roadways\, highways\, and interchanges\, in urban and rural environments. She also performs capacity and traffic analysis for individual intersections\, corridors and networks\, and assists in the management of planning projects of varying complexity and scale. \nJames Rogers P.Eng. graduated in 2010 from the University of Saskatchewan with a Degree in Civil Engineering\, James has worked his way from a surveying assistant to the Senior Manager of Capital Infrastructure with the City of Lloydminster. After spending time as a consulting engineer within the private sector\, James made the transition to the public sector to further his career and apply the lessons learned and gained professional practice skills within a municipal setting. Being borne and raised in the City of Lloydminster\, James knew first hand the need to complete the Dangerous Goods Route and Truck Route Establishment project as the benefits it would bring to the City of Lloydminster would be long lasting. \nVirtual Icebreaker Social\nWe will be holding a social from 12:00 to 12:15 PM to provide attendees with the opportunity to mingle just like we would if we were back at the Faculty Club. Participants will be split into breakout rooms to facilitate conversations. This is optional\, anyone who is not interested in the social may log in at 12:15 PM for the webinar.

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta November Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Alberta Transportation has a reputation for being very rigid and conservative in our standards and approvals. In this presentation\, I will provide examples in and around Calgary where we have shown a willingness to consider or implement improvements that are outside of our usual practice. They are not intended to set a precedent for use in other locations\, but because of the circumstances and the site specific constraints\, they were considered to be the most cost effective solution to address the issues at hand while protecting the safety and operation of the highway. \nBio: \nJerry has been working in the field of transportation planning for the past 31 years in the government sector since graduating from the University of British Columbia with a degree in Civil Engineering. Currently\, he is the Infrastructure Manager for Alberta Transportation responsible for the grants program\, programming\, project scoping\, development control\, and planning studies for the Southern Region.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/KdWq3sUJJ2w\n

SUMMARY:GVITE Webinar - Transportation Network Efficiency with Demand Responsive Services
DESCRIPTION:Transportation Network Efficiency with Demand Responsive Services\n Abstract: \nOn-demand dynamically routed transportation systems can provide seamless door-to-door mobility including with multi-passenger trips. Although this is a compelling vision\, there are also potential downsides. This presentation compares the transportation performance of single-occupant and multi-occupant on-demand transportation systems to private vehicle use and standard bus service with fixed routes and timetables. The performance is measured and compared using average journey time\, total vehicle kilometres travelled\, and the number of vehicles that are required to meet demand and performance thresholds. \nTo conduct this analysis\, a flexible generic city model was created. This model was developed with characterises representative of a typical North American city including the arterial street network spacing and travel times\, the population density and travel demand patterns\, and the time-of-day travel demand profile. Using this flexible generic city model\, these performance outcomes are evaluated under several different contexts as the characteristics of the city are varied. PTV Visum/MaaS software was utilized to conduct this evaluation. \nUnder the transportation contexts evaluated (relatively large cities with relatively high travel demand)\, traditional fixed-route transit service substantially outperforms demand-responsive multi-occupant services on the transportation metrics evaluated. The relative benefits of transit service tend to be greater as mode share increases and as the size of the service area increases. \nThese results suggest that when automated vehicle technology becomes commonplace\, for large cities the best use may be in increasing the service frequency of traditional transit services on the arterial street network\, rather than by implementing demand-responsive dynamically routed services. The advantages of on-demand services are highest in smaller service areas with low demand for shared transportation. These services could be used to better connect low density areas to the arterial transit network. \n\nPresenters:\nMatt Taylor\, P. Eng.\, M. Eng.\, PTOE \nMatt is a transportation engineer at Bunt & Associates with a background in travel demand forecasting\, traffic operations analysis\, and transportation design. I lead several R&D initiatives at Bunt to extend our knowledge and expertise in new areas. \nNicolas Moss\, EIT \nNicolas is a civil engineer-in-training with experience working in various public- and private-sector capacities in both the US and Canada. His work with Bunt as a transportation analyst has spanned traffic impact assessments\, travel demand forecasting\, parking and circulation studies\, and transportation demand management programs. \nBunt & Associates \nFounded in 1993\, Bunt & Associates Engineering is one of the largest specialist transportation planning and engineering consulting firms in Western Canada.
