Apr. 2024
Prof. Atiyya Shaw presented an invited talk, “Transforming Modeling and Planning Paradigms for Future Mobility Systems” for the William C. Taylor Mobility Seminar Series at Michigan State University on April 5, 2024.
Feb. 2024
New research led by PhD researcher, Amy Fong, on the differential impacts of mobility of care on men and women was recently published in Transportation Research Part D, and featured on popular news outlets: Fast Company and Streetsblog.
Publication details: Fong, A., and F. A. Shaw. (2024). “Well-Being Implications of Mobility of Care: Gender Differences among U.S. Adults.” Transportation Part D: Transport and Environment. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2024.104109
Jan. 2024
The InfrAll team attended and presented at the Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting, and as always, left excited and invigorated to integrate new ideas into upcoming work. Check out the TRB program to see what InfrAll researchers are up to for the annual meeting.
Dec. 2024
The Graham Sustainability Institute awarded InfrAll one of four Catalyst grants to support research on survey limitations that can impact equitable and sustainable transportation infrastructure planning. The interdisciplinary University of Michigan team working on this effort includes Joe Grengs from the Urban and Regional Planning Department and Sunghee Lee from the Institute for Social Research.
Nov. 2023
Prof. Atiyya Shaw, together with Maren Outwater, presented an invited talk on “Reflecting concepts of time use and monetary expenditures in modeling frameworks” at the Back to Foundations: Travel Demand Analysis in a Fast Evolving Transportation Landscape Symposium held at the University of Texas, Austin.
Jun. 2023
InfrAll, in collaboration with Prof. Max Li from Aerospace Eng., has been awarded a MIDAS PODS grant for proposal titled, “From ground to air, and the traveler experiences in-between: Human-centered data-driven performance measures for multimodal transportation systems”.
This project aims to examine the potential of applying AI-based approaches to integrate passively collected travel data with rich behavioral insights from smaller scale passenger survey datasets, with the goal of linking across transportation modes and advancing multimodal transportation networks to be more equitable, accessible, and efficient.
Apr. 2023
Congratulations to incoming PhD researcher, Amy Fong, on receiving an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship!
Feb. 2023
The University Transportation Center (UTC) on Travel Behavior and Demand (TBD) was selected as a National UTC by the USDOT, one of five grants from 33 national category proposals submitted. InfrAll, on behalf of the University of Michigan, is one of the core members of this National UTC, led by University of Texas, Austin.
