Estimating Likely Mode Shift and Vehicle-Miles-Travelled-Reduction Potential Using Transportation Business Intelligence Data and AI Algorithms
The new Minnesota state legislation -- Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Impact Assessment – will require highway projects to conform with State GHG and Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) reduction targets. Metropolitan planning organizations and local agencies must adhere to these goals in their project decision-making, requiring suitable data and tools to assess transit/bicycle use potentials and subsequent VMT reduction prior to designing projects and programs. This research seeks to understand the likelihood of these interventions changing behavior and to help validate the assumptions and scoring that will be used to determine if the highway projects are adequately offset.
