• Abstract:
  The main objective of the research is to identify areas in Louisiana that require active transportation infrastructure (such as sidewalks and crosswalks) the most. The needs were determined based on continuously collected anonymous human mobility data from mobile devices. An active transportation mobility index was developed based on the human mobility data, which is expected to illuminate areas where significant demand exists to access a given location, and a high proportion of trips could potentially be captured by active modes. Connectivity, safety, and equity-related factors were then integrated into the index and helped derive an active transportation infrastructure investment potential score, offering comprehensive decision-making support.
