  • Comparative Analysis of Coffee Franchises in the Cambridge-Boston Area
    Comparative Analysis of Coffee Franchises in the Cambridge-Boston Area May 10, 2010 ESD.86: Models, Data, and Inference for Socio-Technical Systems Paul T. Grogan [email protected] Massachusetts Institute of Technology Introduction The placement of storefronts is a difficult question on which many corporations spend a great amount of time, effort, and money. There is a careful interplay between environment, potential customers, other storefronts from the same franchise, and other storefronts for competing franchises. From the customer’s perspective, the convenience of storefronts, especially for “discretionary” products or services, is of the utmost importance. In fact, some franchises develop mobile phone applications to provide their customers with an easy way to find the nearest storefront.1 This project takes an in-depth view of the storefront placements of Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks, two competing franchises with strong presences in the Cambridge-Boston area. Both franchises purvey coffee, coffee drinks, light meals, and pastries and cater especially well to sleep-deprived graduate students. However, Dunkin’ Donuts typically puts more emphasis on take-out (convenience) customers looking to grab a quick coffee before class whereas Starbucks provides an environment conducive to socializing, meetings, writing theses, or studying over a longer duration. These differences in target customers may drive differences in the distribution of storefronts in the area. The goal of this project is to apply some of the concepts learned in ESD.86 on probabilistic modeling and to the real-world system of franchise storefronts and customers. The focus of the analysis is directed on the “convenience” of accessing storefronts, determined by the distance to the nearest location from a random customer.

  • ROUTE 203 (Gallivan Boulevard and Morton Street) Safety, Mobility, and Access Management
    ROUTE 203 (Gallivan Boulevard and Morton Street) Safety, Mobility, and Access Management Route 203 (Gallivan Boulevard and Morton Street): Safety, Mobility, and Access Management Project Manager Seth Asante Project Principal Efi Pagitsas Data Analysts Seth Asante Kathy Jacob Graphics Kenneth Dumas Kim Noonan Jane Gillis Cover Design Kim Noonan The preparation of this document was funded by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. Central Transportation Planning Staff Directed by the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization. The MPO is composed of state and regional agencies and authorities, and local governments. November 2012 Abstract The arterial segment of Route 203 between Gallivan Boulevard and Morton Street was selected for study as part of a larger study, Priority Corridors for the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Needs Assessment. Route 203 was chosen because it is one of the MassDOT Highway Division’s District 6 high-priority corridors needing improvement. The jurisdiction for this roadway was recently transferred from the Department of Conservation and Recreation to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT). MassDOT is working with the City of Boston and local stakeholders to try to obtain funding for a roadway improvement project. This study identified several problems in the corridor, including safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists, noncompliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, inadequate accommodation of bicyclists and pedestrians, poor pavement condition, outdated traffic signal equipment, outdated traffic signal timing and phase plans, and a need to make access to transit services safer. Working with representatives from MassDOT and the City of Boston, MPO staff developed several recommendations for increasing safety, improving access, and making traffic operations more efficient.
