In this episode of Researching Transit Professor Graham Currie talks to Professor Martin Tr\xe9panier from Polytechnique Montr\xe9al. Martin is part of the Department of Mathematical and Industrial Engineering, and also the Director of the Interuniversity Research Centre on Enterprise Networks, Logistics and Transportation (CIRRELT), and Director Chair in Transport Transformation. \n\nAt the start of the episode Martin and Graham discuss Polytechnique Montr\xe9al and Martin\u2019s role teaching in information systems engineering and in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) for a logistics program. They then move on to discusses Martin\u2019s research using smartcard data. This came out connections with local operators developed during initial work on household travel surveys. Martin was at the cutting edge when smartcard ticketing systems were first introduced to transit services. These systems provide very large volumes of data about ridership, travel patterns and operations, yet are only a relatively recent development in the field. \n\nTowards the end of the episode Graham and Martin discuss Martin\u2019s other research interests in car- and bike-sharing, Mobility As A Service (MAAS) and operations research. They also talk about the Transition platform, which is a tool for planning transit networks developed by Martin\u2019s group. It is now available online at http://transition.city\n \nFind out more about Martin and his work at:\nhis profile page at Polytechnique Montr\xe9al https://www.polymtl.ca/expertises/en/trepanier-martin\nMartin\u2019s publications on World Transit Research at https://www.worldtransitresearch.info/do/search/?q=author_lname%3A%22Tr%C3%A9panier%22%20AND%20author_fname%3A%22Martin%22&start=0&context=1060035&sort=date_desc&facet= and on Scopus at https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=6603041080\nHave feedback?
