Report 6: Analysis of Network Impacts: PTC Trip Chaining

Abstract:

This technical report presents the work undertaken by the University of Toronto Transportation Research Institute (UTTRI) to model trip chaining of vehicles operating for Private Transportation Companies (PTCs) in support of the City of Toronto’s Vehicle for Hire Bylaw Review. The main purpose of this component of the project is to assess network impacts of PTC operations. The data provided to study these impacts consists of the entirety of trips reported by ridehailing service providers from the period of September 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. Even though these data are comprehensive and extremely useful for analysis, they do not encompass the entirety of ridehailing vehicular movements. Ridehailing vehicles further occupy the network while being enroute to pick-up passengers, as well as when idling or waiting to be paired with the next passenger. Hence, identifying and accounting for these additional vehicle “states” becomes a critical task towards a comprehensive assessment of PTC network impacts.
