CAREER: Smart Mobility Services: Operations and Policy

该学院早期职业发展（Career）奖的研究目标是开发智能移动服务建模和优化的方法。自行车共享计划、智能停车系统和个人与个人的汽车共享是研究计划的重点。该研究将有助于空间非平稳排队网络的分析。研究项目包括上述智能移动服务的实证分析、分析建模和仿真研究。本研究的有形产品包括管理这些智能移动服务的软件和算法、研究结果的文档、试点项目的评估、运筹学图形小说的问题，以及智能移动服务教育材料的开发。这项研究的结果将鼓励智能移动服务的进一步发展和部署。这些服务都是便捷且节能的交通方式。交通便利是一项关键的就业、经济和帮助指标，尤其是在低收入和少数族裔社区。智能交通服务的广泛采用有助于实现美国的政策目标，即大幅减少交通部门产生的温室气体量。研究者与几个组织建立了合作关系，将研究结果直接应用于巴黎的自行车共享、宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的智能停车和芝加哥的双人汽车共享的发展。此外，研究和教育计划通过参与非洲裔美国人数学科学研究人员会议（CAARMS），支持非洲裔美国人更多地参与数学科学。此外，研究者还写了一本向公众介绍运筹学的漫画小说。该奖项支持扩大这一努力。

The research objective of this Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award is to develop methods for the modeling and optimization of smart mobility services. Bike sharing programs, smart parking systems, and person-2-person car sharing are the focus of the research program. The research will contribute to the analysis of spatial nonstationary queueing networks. The research program includes empirical analysis, analytic modeling, and simulation studies of the aforementioned smart mobility services. The tangible products of this research includes software and algorithms for the management of these smart mobility services, documentation of research results, evaluation of pilot programs, issues of an operations research graphic novel, and the development of educational materials on smart mobility services.The results of this research will encourage the further development and deployment of smart mobility services. These services are accessible and energy efficient transportation modes. Accessibility to transportation is a key employment, economic, and help indicator, particularly in low income and minority communities. The wide adoption of smart mobility services contributes to the U.S. policy goal of dramatically reducing the amount of greenhouse gases that are generated by the transportation sector. The investigator has partnerships with several organizations to apply the research findings directly to the development of bike sharing in Paris, smart parking in Pittsburgh, PA, and person-2-person car sharing in Chicago. Furthermore, the research and education plan supports the increased participation of African Americans in the mathematical sciences through involvement in the Conference for African American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences (CAARMS). Additionally, the investigator writes a graphic novel that introduces public audiences to operations research. The award supports an expansion of this effort.
