This Alliance Grants project advances co-development of knowledge in mobility planning and accelerates the flow and exchange of research data, methods and tools for transportation system adaptations for COVID-19 in partnership with public agencies and a private analytic venture. The proposed research tackles immediate challenges that many Canadian municipalities, including Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) are facing as they plan to reopen activities and public places. There is an urgent need to develop a government-researchers nexus to quickly access expertise, policy-relevant data, tools and methods for monitoring, planning and service delivery, aiming at slowing down and preventing the transmission of COVID-19 in the short-, medium- and long-term. This research project provides an innovative, analytical framework for data collection, modelling, scenario testing and plan development. The research project utilizes existing data and models, and builds upon prior partnerships with the HRM. The Province of Nova Scotia's Department of Municipal Affairs and Housing further provides access to municipalities across the province. The private partner brings expertise in developing a sketch planning tool, leveraging the existing model and computational framework developed by university researchers. The specific outcomes of the project include an assessment of activity and mobility patterns and an evaluation of alternative scenarios for reopening. The focus of the research partnership is to enable an operational modelling tool for quicker planning for transportation system adaptations. The partners bring a total of $22,287 in-kind contribution, leading to active participation in guiding, designing, and delivering the research outcomes. The activities outlined in the proposal engages readily available graduate students and a post-doctoral fellow. Along with the multi-sectoral partners, knowledge developed from this research will be shared with a broad range of professionals in Nova Scotia and beyond. We will integrate the contributions of the research team, partners and stakeholders through regular consultations to tackle an immediate challenge that requires collective and collaborative efforts.

该联盟赠款项目与公共机构和一家私人分析企业合作，推进交通规划知识的共同开发，并加快研究数据、方法和工具的流动和交换，以适应COVID-19的交通系统。拟议的研究解决了许多加拿大城市，包括哈利法克斯地区市政府（HRM）面临的直接挑战，因为他们计划重新开放活动和公共场所。迫切需要建立政府与研究人员之间的联系，以快速获取监测、规划和提供服务的专业知识、政策相关数据、工具和方法，旨在在短期、中期和长期减缓和预防COVID-19的传播。该研究项目为数据收集、建模、情景测试和计划制定提供了一个创新的分析框架。该研究项目利用现有的数据和模型，并建立在与人力资源管理局以前的伙伴关系基础上。新斯科舍省的市政事务和住房部还为全省各城市提供服务。私人合作伙伴带来了开发草图规划工具的专业知识，利用了大学研究人员开发的现有模型和计算框架。该项目的具体成果包括对活动和流动模式进行评估，并对重新开放的替代方案进行评价。研究伙伴关系的重点是使一个业务建模工具，更快地规划交通系统的适应。合作伙伴带来了总计22，287美元的实物捐助，导致积极参与指导，设计和交付研究成果。提案中概述的活动吸引了现成的研究生和一名博士后研究员。沿着多部门合作伙伴，从这项研究中获得的知识将与新斯科舍省及其他地区的广泛专业人员分享。我们将通过定期磋商，整合研究团队、合作伙伴和利益攸关方的贡献，以应对需要集体协作努力的紧迫挑战。
