Abstract
Taxicabs are certainly the most popular type of on-demand transportation service in urban areas because taxi dispatching systems offer more and better services in terms of shorter wait times and travel convenience. However, a shortage of taxicabs has always been critical in many urban contexts especially during peak hours and taxis have great potential to maximize their efficiency by employing shared-ride concept. There are recent successes in real-time ridesharing projects that are expected to bring substantial benefits on energy consumption and operation efficiency, and thus it is essential to develop advanced vehicle dispatch algorithms to maximize occupancy and minimize travel times in real-time. This paper investigates how taxi services can be improved by proposing shared-taxi algorithms and what type of objective functions and constraints could be employed to prevent excessive passenger detours. Hybrid Simulated Annealing (HSA) is applied to dynamically assign passenger requests efficiently and a series of simulations are conducted with two different taxi operation strategies. The simulation results reveal that allowing ride-sharing for taxicabs increases productivity over the various demand levels and HSA can be considered as a suitable solution to maximize the system efficiency of real-time ride sharing.

Opposition to affordable housing in the USA: Debate framing and the responses of local actors

Abstract
This article investigates the framing of affordable housing by opponents and responses to this framing by local housing actors in the USA. We use a social construction approach to explore how conceptualizations of race/ethnicity, class and immigration shape opponents’ views and cast affordable housing tenants as deviant and undeserving, making them undesirable neighbours. Our study finds that affordable housing opposition and the process of framing results in: changes to development designs and siting decisions based on least resistance, rather than sound planning and decision-making, thereby directing affordable housing projects to particular jurisdictions, new development areas or concentrated poor neighbourhoods.

Assessing crash risks considering vehicle interactions with trucks using point detector data
Proceedings of the 96th annual meeting of the transportation research board
Publication Date
Abstract
Trucks have distinct driving characteristics in general traffic streams such as lower speeds and limitations in acceleration and deceleration. As a consequence, vehicles keep longer headways or frequently change lane when they follow a truck, which is expected to increase crash risk. This study introduces several traffic measures at the individual vehicle level to capture vehicle interactions between trucks and non-trucks and analyzed how the measures affect crash risk under different traffic conditions. The traffic measures were developed using headways obtained from Inductive Loop Detectors (ILDs). In addition, a truck detection algorithm using a Gaussian Mixture (GM) model was developed to identify trucks and to estimate truck exposure from ILD data. Using the identified vehicle type from the GM model, vehicle interaction metrics were categorized into three groups based on the combination of leading and following vehicle types. The effects of the proposed traffic measures on crash risk were modeled in two different cases of prior- and non-crash using a case-control approach utilizing a conditional logistic regression. Results showed that the vehicle interactions between the leading and following vehicle types were highly associated with crash risk, and further showed different impacts on crash risk by traffic conditions. Specifically, crashes were more likely to occur when a truck following a non-truck had shorter average headway but greater headway variance in heavy traffic while a non-truck following a truck had greater headway variance in light traffic. This study obtained meaningful conclusions that vehicle interactions involved with trucks were significantly related to the crash likelihood rather than the measures that estimate average traffic condition such as total volume or average headway of the traffic stream.
