Smart Mobility

Research / Applications

Smart Mobility

— where we apply it

Sensing, communication, and computing are reshaping how cities move. INSPIRE Lab studies how to share information for adaptive routing, price ride-sourcing services to balance supply and demand, and operate smarter transit and shared mobility systems in heterogeneous traffic networks.

Problems We Tackle

— three core challenges
Information Sharing and Adaptive Routing
Problem 01

Information Sharing & Adaptive Routing

Designing what, when, and where to share traffic information to improve system-wide mobility and safety.
Ride-Sourcing and Spatial Pricing
Problem 02

Ride-Sourcing & Spatial Pricing

Pricing strategies for transportation network companies to balance supply, demand, and congestion across regions.
Smart Transit and Mobility Services
Problem 03

Smart Transit & Mobility Services

Real-time monitoring and infrastructure planning for transit, shared mobility, and emerging service models.
