Efficient Mobility: Modeling, Control and Perspectives

Description

Access to transportation is essential for individual well-being and affects many dimensions of daily life, including health, economic mobility, and recreation. The design of urban and rural transportation infrastructure, as well as decisions around mobility services, has far-reaching impacts on how people move and access opportunities. These design and policy choices are often framed as optimization or control problems aimed at improving system efficiency. Such approaches depend on clearly defined metrics of success, which in turn shape mobility outcomes. This workshop will examine how transportation systems can be designed and analyzed through the lens of efficiency and performance.
