OASIS: An integrated optimisation framework for activity scheduling

Janody Pougala

Activity-based models offer the potential for a far deeper understanding of daily mobility behaviour than trip-based models. Based on the fundamental assumption that travel demand is derived from the need to do activities, they are flexible tools that aim ...

Stochastic pairwise preference convergence in Bayesian agents

Max-Olivier Hongler

Beliefs inform the behaviour of forward-thinking agents in complex environments. Recently, sequential Bayesian inference has emerged as a mechanism to study belief formation among agents adapting to dynamical conditions. However, we lack critical theory to ...

Deficit Round-Robin: A Second Network Calculus Analysis

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Seyed Mohammadhossein Tabatabaee

Deficit Round-Robin (DRR) is a widespread scheduling algorithm that provides fair queueing with variable-length packets. Bounds on worst-case delays for DRR were found by Boyer et al., who used a rigorous network calculus approach and characterized the ser ...

Optimization and equilibrium problems with discrete choice models

Stefano Bortolomiol

Many transportation markets are characterized by oligopolistic competition. In these markets customers, suppliers and regulators make decisions that are influenced by the preferences and the decisions of all other agents. In particular, capturing and under ...

Capturing trade-offs between daily scheduling choices

Michel Bierlaire, Janody Pougala, Timothy Michael Hillel

We propose a new modelling approach for daily activity scheduling which integrates the different daily scheduling choice dimensions (activity participation, location, schedule, duration and transportation mode) into a single optimisation problem. The funda ...

Price-based regulation of oligopolistic markets under discrete choice models of demand

Michel Bierlaire, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Stefano Bortolomiol

We propose a framework to find optimal price-based policies to regulate markets characterized by oligopolistic competition and in which consumers make a discrete choice among a finite set of alternatives. The framework accommodates general discrete choice ...

Monotonicity in the trip scheduling problem

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

The equilibrium of the archetypal morning commute problem with alpha -,B - gamma preferences has been shown to be unstable with various rational adjustment mechanisms, under both continuous and discrete day-to-day dynamics. It is not clear however whether ...

Obstacles and opportunities for reducing dwelling size to shrink the environmental footprint of housing: Tenants' residential preferences and housing choice

Anna Pagani, Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Claudine Bettina Karlen

The environmental footprint of housing is greatly influenced by the size of a dwelling. Housing size is the result of households' dwelling selections; accordingly, it is critical to consider residential preferences and choices to inform efforts towards hou ...

Integrating advanced discrete choice models in mixed integer linear optimization

Michel Bierlaire, Meritxell Pacheco Paneque, Bernard Gendron

In many transportation systems, a mismatch between the associated design and planning decisions and the demand is typically encountered. A tailored system is not only appealing to operators, which could have a better knowledge of their operational costs, b ...

How the first wave of COVID-19 in Switzerland affected residential preferences

Vincent Kaufmann, Anna Pagani, Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Livia Bianca Fritz, Ralph Hansmann

During the first wave of COVID-19, residents’ health and well-being were challenged as residential environments suddenly had to accommodate most of the functions of an urban system. Although scholars and practitioners have proposed reconsidering dwelling r ...

The (Co)-Location Sharing Game

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mathias Jacques Jean-Marc Humbert, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Alexandra-Mihaela Olteanu

Most popular location-based social networks, such as Facebook and Foursquare, let their (mobile) users post location and co-location (involving other users) information. Such posts bring social benefits to the users who post them but also to their friends ...

Stable Fractional Matchings

Aris Filos Ratsikas

We study a generalization of the classical stable matching problem that allows for cardinal preferences (as opposed to ordinal) and fractional matchings (as opposed to integral). After observing that, in this cardinal setting, stable fractional matchings c ...

Scheduling trips through a bottleneck: monotonicity and stability

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

This paper investigates the stability of departure time choice within a population of commuters that need to pass through a bottleneck of constant capacity. It is shown that the corresponding utility function is monotonic if and only if the marginal utilit ...

Airline customers connection time preferences in domestic U.S. markets

Michel Bierlaire, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin

Within the United States, there have been evolving perceptions on the benefits and disadvantages of using peaked flight schedules. Arguments in favor of using peaked schedules have centered on a traditional assumption that consumers prefer itineraries with ...

Exploring the diversity of social preferences: Is a heterogeneous population evolutionarily stable under assortative matching?

Boris Thurm, Charles Chadi Ayoubi

Why do individuals make different decisions when confronted with similar choices? This paper investigates whether the answer lies in an evolutionary process. Our analysis builds on recent work in evolutionary game theory showing the superiority of a given ...

Coupled energy economic model framework for analyzing Swiss electricity markets in changing policy environments

Sophie Maire

Energy policy needs to rely on the proper understanding of the interactions between policy instruments, consumer preferences, investment behavior, market structure, electricity supply, and the wider policy environment. This asks for appropriate modeling to ...

Composable Method for Explicit Power Flow Control in Electrical Grids

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Andrey Bernstein

A power flow control system for an interconnected power system, the interconnected power system comprising a plurality of electrical subsystems; an abstract framework configured to work as a utility maximiser under constraints (that applies to the electric ...

A Robust Resolution of Newcomb's Paradox

Thomas Alois Weber

Newcomb's problem is viewed as a dynamic game with an agent and a superior being as players. Depending on whether or not a risk-neutral agent's confidence in the superior being, as measured by a subjective probability assigned to the move order, exceeds a ...

A revealed preference analysis of PhD students’ choices over employment outcomes

Annamaria Conti, Fabiana Visentin

We develop a revealed preference approach to elicit science and engineering PhDs’ preferences over employment outcomes, exploiting cohort size variations. Depending on whether pecuniary and non-pecuniary rewards are sticky or not, increments in the PhDs’ c ...

Forecasting the demand for electric vehicles: accounting for attitudes and perceptions

Michel Bierlaire, Michaël Clément Louis Ghislain Thémans, Aurélie Glerum, Lidija Stankovikj

In the context of the arrival of electric vehicles on the car market, new mathematical models are needed to understand and predict the impact on the market shares. This research provides a comprehensive methodology to forecast the demand of a technology wh ...
