Overall Project Details

Title of the Project Bayesian Inference of Origin-Destination Matrices from Bus Occupancy Data

Project Keywords origin-destination matrix, Bayesian inference, public transportation

Are you currently looking for research assistants? Yes

Number of Research Assistants Needed 1

Relevant Research Assistant Major(s) STEM majors

Project Location: RIDER - Resilient Infrastructure & Disaster Response Center

If the project location is off campus, does the research assistant(s) need to provide their own transportation? FSU Shuttle Bus Available, near FAMU-FSU College of Engineering

Please select the choice that most accurately describes your expectations for the research assistant(s): Partially Remote

Roughly what time frame do you expect research assistant(s) to work? Flexible schedule (Combination of business and outside of business. TBD between student and research mentor.)

Overall Research Project Description Origin-destination (OD) demand matrices are crucial for transit agencies to design and operate transit systems. We want to build a Bayesian model to estimate transit OD matrices from bus occupancy data.
A similar study to estimate OD using boarding/alighting counts is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.04742

Research Tasks Derive a Bayesian model to estimate transit OD matrices from bus occupancy data.
A similar study is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.04742

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Interested in this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.04742
Taken a statistics course and understand Bayes' theorem required.

Mentoring Philosophy My mentoring philosophy revolves around collaboration and mutual support. We learn best when we learn together, sharing knowledge and experiences. Flexibility is key to adapting to individual needs, yet maintaining productivity through clear goals and feedback. Together, we cultivate a culture of growth, empowerment, and achievement.

Please provide a link to your publications, a video clip, or a website for your research project (if applicable): {Empty}

Please add any additional information here (if applicable): Begin with research, applying statistics or data science. Ideal for those intrigued. Enhances your resume for graduate applications.
