Our students (with @mitmobility@MITdusp) have been presenting recent findings and learning about cutting-edge public transport research in Spain.
Thanks to @MISTIatMIT@La_UPM Global Seed Fund for supporting this opportunity for cross-cultural learning and exchange.
▶️@mitmagob se ha reunido con el Instituto de Tecnología de Massachusetts (MIT), el Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid y la @La_UPM para intercambiar experiencias de la aplicación de inteligencia artificial y tecnologías bigdata al análisis de la movilidad.

My first byline! Op-ed for @EnoTrans: Preparing transit for the Future of Work.
“Remote work” has become synonymous with “working from home” [...], but there are plenty of compelling alternatives, each with their own implications for transportation.
@MITTransitLab@mitmobility
Excited to share our ongoing research on remote work locations, with Xiaotong Guo and Jinhua Zhao at @MITTransitLab@mitmobility. We find that about a third of all remote work happens away from home, which has significant implications for urban mobility.

Presenting 3 posters at #TRBAM this year - please stop by and say hi! Research on public transit performance measurement, equity and ride-hailing matching algorithms.
I’ll be in Poster Hall A until 5:30PM today (ride-hailing), and from 8:00-9:30AM tomorrow (public transit).
Our joint @thehill op-ed with @CSHub_MIT: Infrastructure investment is here — how can we spend it wisely?
"Leading transportation departments and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) are today implementing accessibility-based performance planning."

IDSS affiliate Jinhua Zhao discusses how ridership on public transit, electrification of vehicles, and ride-sharing have changed due to the #pandemic — and what the post-pandemic future of #transportation might look like around the world. bit.ly/3axFAIR
About to get started and so excited to see people from all over the United States and the world (Nepal, China, Colombia, Turkey, Ecuador, Nigeria, India, and Switzerland just to name a few)!!! Thanks for hosting me @MIT!
Professor Jinhua Zhao, director of @mitmobility and @MITTransitLab, is on the program tomorrow morning (Spotlight on Transit Data / Analytics Labs) and Thursday (New Data Sources: Perspectives and Challenges)

Ride-sharing apps are ubiquitous in cities around the world, but despite their explosive growth it is unclear if they substitute for or complement #publictransport. @MIT's Hui Kong, Jinhua Zhao, & Xiaohu Zhang examine a case study in Chengdu, China. More- bit.ly/smartsKong

Here's how previous MA users of each mode say they will shift. Net mode shift (% who say use more - % who say use less). Less group / shared modes. More individual trips. New MA poll. massincpolling.com/the-topli…
How can we leverage new #mobility to build better cities? Start by understanding the integration of behaviors, systems & policies. Learn more from Jinhua Zhao & more in this free edX course from MIT & NUMO, starting May 12 ➡️ow.ly/UaqY50zBC5i
"In Boston, there is higher ridership on buses in the lowest-income areas, than there is on the subway in the whole city"
Chris Zegras (@MITdusp) presenting to the Chilean National Council on Urban Development
#RepensarCiudad Seguimos con la exposición de Christopher Zegras Departamento de Estudios Urbanos @MIT "En Bostón hay más demanda en los buses, en las zonas más pobres, que en el Subway en toda la ciudad. Además, vemos más transportes no motorizado".
Special guest for this week's seminar: Dr. Constantinos Antoniou (Professor @TU_Muenchen and alum of @MIT_CEE) presenting on autonomous mobility and "evidence-based anticipation"
