Integrated Electric Public Transport Simulation (iEptSim)
The ever-changing mobility landscape, new vehicle technologies, and ambitious climate goals continue to challenge existing
planning models and the responsiveness of planners, policymakers, and regulators. The project aims to develop a high-fidelity
simulation model and tool to support the decision-making and development of sustainable electric transport solutions that
integrate the efficiencies of public transport with agile, on-demand modes on an as-needed basis (e.g., micro-mobility and
shared mobility). The technical focus will be on models and algorithms for designing and operating such integrated systems,
an area with key research gaps. The application focus will be on developing the simulation tool and demonstrating it in
integrated operations of electric public transport and micro-mobility/shared mobility services and cooperative disruption
management for a resilient transportation network.
