Evaluation of Bicyclists Exposure to Traffic-Related Air Pollution along Distinct Facility Types
Miguel Andres Figliozzi
James Pankow
While bicyclists and other active travelers obtain health benefits from increased physical activity, they also risk an uptake of traffic-related air pollution. But pollution uptake by urban bicyclists is not well understood due to a lack of direct me ...

Application of Interactive Video Sensing and Management for Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Studies
Wu-chi Feng
Christopher Monsere , Miguel Andres Figliozzi
As video data collection and storage technologies become ubiquitous and inexpensive, transportation agencies struggle to process and extract "intelligence" or useful information from growing libraries of archived video data. In some cases us ...

Modeling and Analyzing the Impact of Advanced Technologies on Livability and Multimodal Transportation Performance Measures in Arterial Corridors
Miguel Andres Figliozzi
Christopher Monsere
Transit service reliability is important to both passengers and transit agencies. Slow and unreliable transit service may increase transit user costs in the short term and reduce transit mode share and ridership in the long term, which in turn may le ...

Understanding the Transit-Dependent Population
Jennifer Dill
Lisa Bates
Public transit in metropolitan areas serves multiple and sometimes competing objectives. Increased attention on "choice" riders and transit as an economic development tool has shifted resources towards suburb-serving rail systems at the expense of in ...
