Abstract:

This report outlines the use and application of the Mobility Energy Productivity (MEP) tool in evaluating the efficiency of transportation systems. The MEP metric assesses the quality of mobility in transportation systems, considering accessibility, energy consumption, and productivity. It incorporates time, cost, and energy-related measurements to assess accessibility and mobility. The key inputs for these calculations include isochrones, land use and employment data, energy intensity and cost parameters, activity frequency, and population density. Two main scenarios are studied: bike infrastructure improvements and the introduction of electric transit projects in South Florida. The findings suggest that enhancements in bike infrastructure and the transition to electric buses can significantly improve MEP scores, indicating more productive use of energy in mobility services. Nonetheless, the results highlight potential areas of improvement in MEP calculations for future scenarios. The report underscores the utility of the MEP tool in analyzing the impact of changes in infrastructure and service patterns on transportation systems. Further investigations are needed to fully understand the capabilities and limitations of the MEP tool. Future research can explore incremental parameter changes, alternative scenarios, and additional data sources. Improving instructions, guidelines, and developing a user-friendly interface would enhance the tool's accessibility and usability for informed decision-making.
