Assessing the Competition of Transportation Network Companies (TNC) and Public Transit in the Greater Vancouver Region (GVR)

在这个研究项目中，我们将研究大温哥华地区(GVR)对交通网络公司(TNC)和公共交通以及其他现有城市模式的需求之间的关系。公共交通和全国过渡委员会之间考虑的是替代和互补问题。我们假设这两种影响都存在，这种关系取决于公共交通技术(公共汽车和火车)，并根据土地利用和交通服务的模式表现出空间差异。作为次要目标，我们试图研究跨国公司和现有形式的共享交通(即出租车和汽车共享服务)之间的关系。该项目包括对第一阶段GVR的居民进行的市场研究调查，并利用这些数据开发预测第二阶段GVR的跨国公司需求的计量经济模型。

In this research project, we'll examine the relationship between demand for transportation network companies (TNC) and public transit along with other existing urban modes in the Greater Vancouver Region (GVR). Questions of substitution and complementarity are considered between public transits and the TNC. We hypothesize that both effects are present and that the relationship depends on public transit technology (bus and train) and exhibits spatial variation based on patterns of land use and transit services. As a secondary objective, we seek to examine the relationship between TNC and existing forms of shared mobility (i.e., taxis and carsharing services). The project is composed of a market research survey administered to the residents of the GVR in Phase-1 and the use of such data to develop econometric models of predicting TNC demands in the GVR in Phase-2.
