Birmingham, AL, USA
In this work, we introduce our approach to build a digital twin of the transportation in the medium-sized city of Birmingham, Alabama, USA. This digital twin is a transportation simulation model that incorporates transportation modes such as public transits and ride-hailing services, in addition to private vehicles that constitute the majority of Birmingham’s traffic. With this digital twin, transportation engineers can flexibly analyze the impact of ride-hailing services under different scenarios, such as “if the number of Uber drivers doubles” which could happen in the near future.
