Data-driven Multimodal Transportation Energy Consumption Prediction and Analysis Framework for Sustainable Transit and Transportation Planning
Description: An increasing number of regional transit agencies are transitioning to mobility service providers, such as Greenville, which provides a mix of fixed-route bus, on demand shuttle (FHWA awarded A-Taxi), first/last mile bike, and car share services. Transit agencies usually utilize time-based and distance-based link-level information in route/schedule planning. Average energy consumption rates (e.g. gallon per mile, kWh per mile) on links of a road network are seldom considered in those planning activities. The major reason is the lack of accurate energy consumption information. For sustainable transportation planning, features on temporal, multimodal, alternative vehicle technologies aspects are desired. Intellectual Merit: The goal of this project is to develop a high-resolution system-level transportation energy data analysis and prediction framework for transit schedule/operation planning to improve energy efficiency. Broader Impacts: The outcome of this project will be utilized by regional planners or transportation/mobility service providers on route/schedule planning, traveler guidance system integration. Technology Transfer Plan: The tangible products of this project are: (1) predictors and relationship for link-level transportation energy consumption estimation, and (2) energy consumption density map.
