Real-Time Regulation of Mobility Services

Principal Investigator P Zegras

Co-investigator Joseph Ferreira


Cheap and abundant data streams generated by modern mobility systems hold the promise of changing regulatory and policy making frameworks to enable more efficient, effective, intermodal mobility services, with greater transparency and accountability. The potential uses of ITS automated data in regulators, transport operators, planners, and the public raise a number of questions related to: data access and ownership, new types of performance measures, contractual relationships, appropriate regulatory structures, and structuring incentives for mobility innovations. Key initial sub-projects include: critical evaluation of international approaches to data-driven regulation; assessment of the relationship between data and contract structure in the current regulatory scheme in Singapore; and investigation of the feasibility of integrated, regulation-oriented performance measurement and forecasting.
