Impact of COVID-19 on Ridehailing and Other Modes of Transportation |
摘要: |
A dramatic traffic volume reduction has been observed across the United States and worldwide since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This event provides a unique opportunity to investigate the changes in ridehailing travel and its interaction with other transportation modes, such as public transit, bicycles, and E-scooters, prior and during the pandemic. The proposed research will explore the changes in ridesharing travel during COVID-19 in terms of travel frequency, travel distances, and travel times. The research team will also investigate the associated changes in other modes of transportation to understand the interaction of ridesharing with other non-automobile travel modes in an integrated traffic system. The results of this proposed research will help us better understand the ridesharing industry and its correlation with other transportation modes under the impact of COVID-19. The team expects the results will help policy makers in coordinating ridesharing and other traffic modes to achieve a more efficient transportation system. |
