Measuring Transit Equity of an On-Demand Multimodal Transit System
On-demand transit is attracting the attention of transportation researchers and transit agencies for its potential to solve the first-mile/last-mile problem. Although on-demand transit has been proved to increase transit accessibility significantly, its impact on transit equity and equality has not been addressed. In this study we examined the potential impact of the On-Demand Multimodal Transit System (ODMTS) in Atlanta (GA), on both transit equ…
Redrawing Attendance Boundaries to Promote Racial and Ethnic Diversity in Elementary Schools
Most U.S. school districts draw “attendance boundaries” to define catchment areas that assign students to schools near their homes, often recapitulating neighborhood demographic segregation in schools. Focusing on elementary schools, we ask: How much might we reduce school segregation by redrawing attendance boundaries? Combining parent preference data with methods from combinatorial optimization, we simulate alternative boundaries for 98 U.S. sc…
Aligning Popularity and Quality in Online Cultural Markets
Social influence is ubiquitous in cultural markets and plays an important role in recommendations for books, songs, and news articles to name only a few. Yet social influence is often presented in a bad light, often because it supposedly increases market unpredictability. Here we study a model of trial-offer markets, in which participants try products and later decide whether to purchase. We consider a simple policy which recovers product quality…
Rapid assessment of disaster damage using social media activity
Researchers show a correlation between per-capita social media activity and disaster damage, facilitating its rapid assessment.
