Learning Dynamics of Spring-Mass Models with Physics-Informed Graph Neural Networks

We propose a physics-informed message-passing graph neural network (GNN) for learning the dynamics of springmass systems. The proposed method embeds the underlying physics directly into the message-passing scheme of the GNN. We compare the new scheme with ...

Modeling, estimation, and control in large-scale urban road networks with remaining travel distance dynamics

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Dimitrios Tsitsokas, Anastasios Kouvelas, Isik Ilber Sirmatel

City-scale control of urban road traffic poses a challenging problem. Dynamical models based on the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) enable development of model predictive perimeter control methods for large-scale urban networks, representing an advan ...

Travel Time Prediction for Congested Freeways With a Dynamic Linear Model

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Semin Kwak

Accurate prediction of travel time is an essential feature to support Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The non-linearity of traffic states, however, makes this prediction a challenging task. Here we propose to use dynamic linear models (DLMs) to a ...

Global maps of travel time to healthcare facilities

Kristina Gligoric

Access to healthcare is a requirement for human well-being that is constrained, in part, by the allocation of healthcare resources relative to the geographically dispersed human population(1-3). Quantifying access to care globally is challenging due to the ...

Multidimensional Measures of Physical Activity and Their Association with Gross Motor Capacity in Children and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy

Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

The current lack of adapted performance metrics leads clinicians to focus on what children with cerebral palsy (CP) do in a clinical setting, despite the ongoing debate on whether capacity (what they do at best) adequately reflects performance (what they d ...

COSMOGRAIL XVIII. time delays of the quadruply lensed quasar WFI2033-4723

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes, Sun Hee Kim, Vivien François Bonvin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Karina Alexandra Rojas Olate

We present new measurements of the time delays of WFI2033-4723. The data sets used in this work include 14 years of data taken at the 1.2 m Leonhard Euler Swiss telescope, 13 years of data from the SMARTS 1.3 m telescope at Las Campanas Observatory and a s ...

Impact of the 3D source geometry on time-delay measurements of lensed type-Ia supernovae

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Olga Tihhonova, Elodie Marie Charlène Savary

It has recently been proposed that gravitationally lensed type-Ia supernovae can provide microlensing-free time-delay measurements provided that the measurement is taken during the achromatic expansion phase of the explosion and that color light curves are ...

Sensitivity to Time Delays in VDM-Based Navigation

Jan Skaloud, Gabriel François Laupré, Mehran Khaghani

A recently proposed navigation methodology for aerial platforms based on the vehicle dynamic model (VDM) has shown promising results in terms of navigation autonomy. Its practical realization requires that control inputs are related to the same absolute ti ...

Proposition pour une approche rythmique de la mobilité. Le cas de la Suisse

Vincent Kaufmann, Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon, Alexis Gumy

Transports et télécommunications procurent désormais des potentiels de vitesse considérables, ils peuvent affranchir des distances et (quasiment) permettre l’immédiateté dans la circulation de l’information et des idées. Largement utilisés, ces potentiels ...

Constraining the microlensing effect on time delays with a new time-delay prediction model in H-0 measurements

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Karina Alexandra Rojas Olate

Time-delay strong lensing provides a unique way to directly measure the Hubble constant (H-0). The precision of the H-0 measurement depends on the uncertainties in the time-delay measurements, the mass distribution of the main deflector(s), and the mass di ...

The relativistic foundations of synchrotron radiation

Giorgio Margaritondo

Special relativity (SR) determines the properties of synchrotron radiation, but the corresponding mechanisms are frequently misunderstood. Time dilation is often invoked among the causes, whereas its role would violate the principles of SR. Here it is show ...

Mitigating the impact of errors in travel time reporting on mode choice modelling

Michel Bierlaire, Aurélie Glerum, Amanda Blomberg Stathopoulos, Giovanni Longo, Silvia Francesca Varotto

Travel time is a major component in understanding travel demand. However, the quantification of demand and forecasting hinges on understanding how travel time is perceived and reported. Travel time reporting is typically subject to errors and this paper fo ...

Models of the strongly lensed quasar DES J0408-5354

Eduardo Sanchez, Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Vivien François Bonvin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Adriano Agnello

We present detailed modelling of the recently discovered, quadruply lensed quasar J0408-5354, with the aim of interpreting its remarkable configuration: besides three quasar images (A, B, D) around the main deflector (G1), a fourth image (C) is significant ...

Thermodynamics in the hydrologic response: Travel time formulation and application to Alpine catchments

Andrea Rinaldo, Michael Lehning, Bettina Schaefli, Francesco Comola

This paper presents a spatially-explicit model for hydro-thermal response simulations of Alpine catchments, accounting for advective and non-advective energy fluxes in stream networks characterized by arbitrary degrees of geomorphological complexity. The r ...

Stochastic interpretation of the advection diffusion equation and its relevance to bed load transport

Time-resolved measurements of suprathermal ion transport induced by intermittent plasma blob-filaments

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Alexandre Dominique Bovet

Suprathermal ion turbulent transport in magnetized plasmas is generally non-diffusive, ranging from subdiffusive to superdiffusive depending on the interplay of the turbulent structures and the suprathermal ion orbits. Here, we present time-resolved measur ...
