NYC pedestrian route choice: Modeling and uses
This workshop, conducted by Andrew Breazeale, a Doctoral Student in Information Systems, is part of the GIS Day 2024: Sustainable Communities and Technologies program and open for anyone to attend (software requirements listed below).
This workshop will focus on the components of route choice modeling for the pedestrian context in New York City. Using travel diaries (usually collected via GPS-enabled smartphone apps), route choice modeling helps transportation planners and policymakers better understand the trade-offs faced and preferences revealed by people moving throughout the world. In the workshop, we shall primarily focus on the GIS components of route choice modeling which are (a) map matching via a hidden Markov model (i.e., mapping pedestrian GPS traces to determine the routes taken) and (b) choice set generation (i.e., determining "reasonable" alternative routes that one could have taken). We will also discuss the other (often spatial) data needed to estimate the final multinomial logit form.
- The workshop will be delivered in person
- It requires a laptop computer with R, RStudio (or your preferred IDE capable of handling RMarkdown), and the following R packages: devtools, knitr, mapview, sf, sfnetworks, tidygraph, and tidyverse.
- The GitHub containing the RMarkdown file and data will be available at https://github.com/arbreazeale/gis-workshop.
Andrew Breazeale Bio:
Andrew is a 5th year PhD Student in the Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy focusing primarily on issues in Urban Economics (e.g., housing, transportation). Prior to pursuing the PhD, he was an Economist at the U.S. Dept. of Transportation (Volpe Center) and a Research Analyst at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Outside of work, his most adorable distraction is his dog (Chessie), and his most unusual distraction is (probably) competitive pinball.
