THE TOPIC

This session explores the work of the Elevated Chicago collaborative within the context of the 2019 equitable TOD (eTOD) ordinance passed by the City of Chicago, which requires the creation of an equitable policy plan to proactively address displacement and depopulation through TOD. Elevated Chicago is a coalition of community organizers, City government, developers, environmentalists, artists and financial institutions advancing eTOD, through capital projects, infrastructure, systems and culture change, and programs in support of TOD projects. We will explore how Elevated Chicago addresses two types of displacement of people of color (gentrification-led and...

OVERVIEW

This webinar will demonstrate the tremendous value of GPS trajectory data in understanding statewide travel patterns and measuring performance. First, Dr. Markovic (U of Utah) will conduct visual exploration of GPS trajectories that capture about 3% of all the trips in Utah. He will briefly discuss the problem of scaling GPS trajectories to the population, and then focus on the use of scaled trajectories in computing origin-destination matrices, vehicle-hours delays, vehicle-miles traveled, and trip-based performance measures. Second, Dr. Franz (CATT Lab) will demonstrate a suite of visual analytics that enables transportation agencies to easily explore terabytes of GPS trajectory data. He will demonstrate different tools and share the experience of 5 state DOTs that are currently using CATT Lab's trajectory data suite.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Trajectory data represents the most complete vehicle-probe data and provides unprecedented opportunity for transportation system analysis.
• Transportation agencies can easily leverage visual analytics to obtain insights in statewide traffic patterns and...

THE TOPIC

Civil society in Germany has had little influence on transportation politics and planning. Yet the urgency of the global climate crisis as well as the problems of the so-called “democratic deficit” are only increasing. These challenges indicate that a shift towards a sustainable as well as a democratic transportation politics is urgently needed.

Although the wide-ranging and interconnected nature of transportation politics makes this “Verkehrswende” both particularly urgent and particularly complicated, grassroots movements and civil society actors in Berlin and Bremen are seeking to create a truly sustainable politics of transportation in Germany.

Using qualitative analysis and expert interviews of movement actors, as well as a theoretical grounding in critical democratic theories, this project will examine how citizen movements can successfully steer public opinion and discourse about transportation and thus...
