Freight Management
Background
Background
Matt Roorda's research program covers both urban freight and passenger travel research initiatives. The research provides challenging and impactful opportunities for graduate students. There is a strong and on-going need for our research to assess the impacts of many policy decisions being made by our government representatives, and by industry every day. Our research influences those decisions, resulting in a more sustainable, efficient and equitable urban transportation system.
Urban Freight Data and Modelling
Urban freight research is underway to develop the state of freight data in the Greater Toronto Area through data collection initiatives. This is an essential first step in developing behavioural models of decision-making by the various actors involved in the freight system including shippers, carriers, logistics firms, etc. Armed with a better understanding of such behaviour, we are developing forecasting models of commercial vehicle movements, that are sensitive to government policy, changes in logistics processes and changes in the global and regional economy.
Freight Optimization
We work extensively with private sector corporations to develop more efficient and more sustainable logistics solutions. We conduct extensive research in the field of City Logistics, for example, the use of night-time deliveries to avoid congestion, the impacts of alternative fuelled vehicles on air quality, more efficient vehicle routing more coordinated parking and loading solutions.
Passenger Transportation Analysis
Our passenger travel initiatives emphasize on developing improved methods for representing human behaviour that leads to travel on urban roadways, on transit systems, and by other modes such as cycling and walking. The emphasis of this research includes activity based methods of forecasting travel demand, analysis of complete streets and the microsimulation of traffic, emissions and exposure to vehicle pollutants.
