Research Highlights

Peer-To-Peer Carsharing: Short-term effects on travel behavior in Portland, OR

Jennifer Dill Nathan McNeil , Steven Howland
Peer-to-peer (P2P) carsharing is a relatively new concept in the U.S. Enabled by recent internet and mobile technology development, P2P carsharing generally involves a facilitating company connecting private vehicle owners to people who are interested in renting a vehicle. P2P carsharing has many things in common with business-to-consumer (B2C) carsharing services. Consumers join the service to rent vehicles on a short-term basis from locations dispersed throughout a certain area. Both services… Read More

Deploy Lidar Systems At Intersections To Improve Equitable Mobility

Taylor Li Stephen Mattingly
In this project, the researchers developed a series of technology transfer materials and plan to facilitate to deploy the research findings out of a NITC-funded project titled “Pedestrian Behavior Study to Advance Pedestrian Safety in Smart Transportation Systems Using Innovative LIDAR Sensors”. In that project, the researchers developed and tested a few LiDAR-based disruptive technologies to improve the safety of vulnerable road users (VRU) at intersections. The research findings were later… Read More
