Schedule Adherence Analysis

Based on bus on-time data for Fall 2022-2023, I analyzed the pattern of the selected bus line from: (1)Ridership impact, (2) Trip-level analysis, (3) Layover analysis, and (4) Driver impact. I found the east direction of this line tends to have more delay than the west, indicating a different ridership flow pattern and land use pattern.

Travel Demand Model and Forecast in Champaign-Urbana: Urban Sprawling Senario

Travel Demand Model and Forecast in C-U

This project predicts future travel demand in Champaign-Urbana in 2040. Based on the baseline scenario 2010, we predicted the employment oppotunities and population for: Business-As-Usual (BAU) 2040 and Urban Sprawl 2040. After runing travel demand models for three senarios in CUBE, we found that the Urban Sprawling scenario will have more congestion and some roads will be severly affected. We recommended to add more bus lines to those areas to avoid congestion and improve the connectivity.

I was responsible for the team management, CUBE output analysis, report writing, and final PowerPoint design.

As a college town, Champaign-Urbana has a high poverty rate. This project studies does college students and race have an impact on the poverty level. By calculating the weighted mean center in GIS, I found that college students do have a strong impact on poverty rates, and more significant on the neighborhoods that near campus. The disparity between the distribution of race and income shows that the race and income are related, and the linear relationship confirms this finding.
