Assessing the Impact of Shared Mobility Services on Urban Transportation Planning

Project Abstract

The integration of shared mobility services into urban transportation systems represents a significant shift in how people move within cities. This research aims to assess the impact of shared mobility services on urban transportation planning, considering the implications for sustainability, efficiency, and equity in urban mobility. The study explores the various forms of shared mobility services, including ride-sharing, bike-sharing, and car-sharing, and examines their effects on travel behavior, infrastructure utilization, and overall transport system performance.
