- Tool Development to Evaluate the Performance of Intermodal Connectivity (EPIC)
On this project: Brian D. Taylor, Allison Yoh, Hiroyuki Iseki, Michael Smart, Chandini Singh
Research Area(s):This Caltrans-sponsored research project aims to improve the attractiveness of public transit services by reducing travelers’ perceived burdens of walking, waiting, and transferring. The research team completed Phase 1 of the research in 2008 (findings below) and is currently working on the second phase of the project. The project’s aim is to identify the factors that influence transit riders’ lev …
- What’s Youth Got to Do with It? Exploring the Travel Behavior of Teens and Young Adults
On this project: Evelyn Blumenberg, Anne Brown, Kelcie Ralph, Michael Smart, Brian D. Taylor, Carole Turley Voulgaris, Madeline Wander, Steven Brumbaugh
Research Area(s): TransportationWhat’s Behind the Decline in Driving Among Millennials? This question has been hotly debated in the press and in policy circles, but mostly based on impressions and anecdotes and not solid evidence – until now. The following two recent national studies by ITS researchers shed considerable light on those mysterious Millennials and their travel behavior. What’s Youth Got to Do with It? Exploring the …

- Letting drivers choose how fast to drive: Analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the 85th percentile rule
PI: Brian D. Taylor
Researchers: Yu Hong Hwang
Research Area(s): Traffic, Transportation & CommunitiesThis research synthesis will review the history and evolution of the 85th percentile rule in traffic engineering practice, and critically analyze and summarize research to date on its effects. The resulting report, policy brief, and Infographic will provide a complete and succinct summary of how the rule evolved into practice, and what researchers have found about its effects. With respect to the …
