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).
The total size of the zip files is 438 MB. The .csv, Comma Separated Value, file is a simple format that is designed for a database table and supported by many applications. The .csv file is often used for moving tabular data between two different computer programs, due to its open format. The most common software used to open .csv files are Microsoft Excel and RecordEditor, (for more information on .csv files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/csv-file-extension). The following file types are standard for GIS mapping software: LYR, CSF, DBF, PRJ, SBN, SBX, SGML, SHP, LOCK, SHX, CSF, CPG, LYR, MXD, FDBINDEXES, GDBINDEXES, FREELIST, GDBTABLE, GDBTABLX, ATX, SPX. Because the files pertain to map layers and images, they are best viewed using the software that the team used or with any open source 2D and 3D mapping software. The .dbf file extension is traditionally used for database file by many database applications. The original program, which used the DBF file extension for its database, was dBAse. A major legacy of dBase is its dbf file format, which has been adopted in a number of other applications. For example, the shapefile format developed by ESRI for spatial data in a geographic information system uses .dbf files to store feature attribute data (for more information on .dbf files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/dbf-file-extension). The .prj file extension is traditionally used for files that contain projects. Projects contain settings, positions of saved windows, development notes and other raw data that won’t be present in the final file (for more information on .prj files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/prj-file-extension). The .sbn file extension is mainly associated with ArcView / ArcGIS geography software from ESRI. The .sbn file contains binary spatial indexes, which are used only by ESRI software. The format is not documented and is not implemented by other vendors (for more information on .sbn files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/sbn-file-extension). The .sbx file extension is associated with the ArcView GIS application used to view and edit GIS data. The .sbx file contains spatial index for read-write shape used to fast access to shape files (for more information on .sbx files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/sbx-file-extension-arcview-spatial-index-for-read-write-shape-file). The .xml file type is commonly used for files written in Extensible Markup Language (XML). XML is a human-readable, machine-understandable, general syntax for describing hierarchical data, applicable to a wide range of applications (for more information on .xml files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/xml-file-extension)
