Abstract:This project explored routing app designs that can be of use to NYC DOT in informing truck drivers in NYC. This involved developing a prototype app and engaging in a hackathon in Fall 2022 to refine the visualization of the routing data. Second, we leveraged public data to construct a synthetic population of trucks that can be incorporated into a multiagent simulation that allows for dynamic passenger and commercial vehicle interactions. The synthetic truck population, which includes schedules of trip chains for each individual truck, will be incorporated into MATSim-NYC (He et al., 2021). Third, we proposed a new model for predicting zonal residential parcel delivery volumes and VMT that is applicable to large-scale scenarios and validate such a model using data from New York City (NYC).
