Incremental Urban Intensification: Transit-oriented Re-development of Small-lot Corridors

Pedestrian Safety and Transit Corridors

This research examines the relationship between pedestrian accident locations on state-owned facilities (highways and urban arterials) and the presence of riders loading and alighting from bus transit. Many state facilities are important metropolitan transit corridors with large numbers of bus stops users, resulting in increased exposure of pedestrians to traffic and in increased numbers of col...

Assessing the Implementation of the Functional Principles of Transit Oriented Development in the Mirdamad Station Complex

Network design for personal rapid transit under transit-oriented development

This study addresses guideway network design for personal rapid transit (PRT) favoring transit-oriented development. The guideway network design problem seeks to minimize both the guideway construction cost and users’ travel time. In particular, a set of optional points, known as Steiner points, are introduced in the graph to reduce the guideway length. The model is formulated as a combined Ste...

The Role of Urban Infrastructure in Supporting Transit-Oriented Development 4-10-17

It is widely recognized by scientific communities that human activity is altering Earth’s atmospheric composition and contributing to global climate change. Greenhouse gases (GHG), while naturally occurring elements, absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range1. Activities that emit GHGs, such as transportation, manufacturing, and land use changes, concentrate these gases though...
