Enabling The Shared Transportation Revolution
To predict if the “social distancing” nature and resulting shifts in behavior from the pandemic continued to persist after the pandemic ended, this work examined preferences and behaviors towards shared mobility during different stages of the pandemic. Although levels of comfort using shared modes improved since the summer of 2021, participants still reported that their comfort using transit, ride-hailing, and shared ride-hailing would not fully return to pre-pandemic levels by October 2022. Understanding the impact and response from this disruption was important to aid policymakers in building a more resilient and sustainable transportation system. Creating a flexible curb design is essential for such a space to be both permeable and efficient in dealing with evolving demand. Curb data collected in Atlanta, GA, showed that pick-up/drop-off (PUDO) activity differs significantly from traditional parking behaviors both in terms of dwell time and event location and also allowed for a calibration of double-parking behavior. Application of micro simulations models identified that a progressive shift away from traditional long-term parking towards PUDO led to an observed higher curb productivity and lower occupancy. The introduction of dedicated pick-up/drop-off zones at the curb created significant reductions in delay.
