L'usage et l'expérience du temps de déplacement dans la perspective du report modal

For several decades - and still today - mobility policies in industrialised countries have sought to reduce travel time to meet the expectations of infrastructure users for speed. However, despite major investments to achieve this objective of improving ac ...

Ride-sharing with inflexible drivers in the Paris metropolitan area

Patrick Stefan Adriaan Stokkink

In ride-sharing, commuters with similar itineraries share a vehicle for their trip. Despite its clear benefits in terms of reduced congestion, ride-sharing is not yet widely accepted. We propose a specific ride-sharing variant, where drivers are completely ...

‘Ecological concerns weren’t the main reason why I took the bus, that association only came afterwards’: on shifts in meanings of everyday mobility

Livia Bianca Fritz, Franziska Meinherz

Reducing the modal share of car travel in commuting implies challenging meanings of everyday mobility that tie commuting to driving. Existing research has focussed on describing ways in which everyday mobility is meaningful. However, why shifts in meanings ...

The challenges of studying change in carbon-intensive urban consumption practices: Exploring the dynamics of practice change and of normative considerations in knowledge production

Franziska Meinherz

Problem. To reach international greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets, the carbon intensity of urban resource and energy consumption must be reduced. Technological innovation alone is not sufficient: The practices that constitute urban household demand for ...

The dynamics of modal shifts in (sub)urban commuting: An empirical analysis based on practice theories

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Franziska Meinherz

A modal shift away from the private car onto low-carbon transport modes is an essential part of decarbonising the transport sector. The dynamics of modal shifts are, however, not yet well understood. In particular the interrelations between structural and ...

Understanding multimodality through rhythm of life. An empirical evidence from the Swiss case study

Alexis Gumy, Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon

The car dominance car in the urban transport system may contribute to health and environmental troubles. In recent years, multimodality appears as a central issue for public policies as they try to encourage and develop the modal shift in favour of walking ...

Inferring Accurate Bus Trajectories from Noisy Estimated Arrival Time Records

Lakmal Buddika Meegahapola

Urban commuting data has long been a vital source of understanding population mobility behaviour and has been widely adopted for various applications such as transport infrastructure planning and urban anomaly detection. While individual-specific transacti ...

The morning commute in urban areas with heterogeneous trip lengths

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

This paper investigates the equilibrium properties of the morning commute problem at the network level with heterogeneous trip lengths. Congestion is modeled with a Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram relating the space-mean speed of a network to the vehicular ...

Increasing Traffic Flows with DSRC Technology: Field Trials and Performance Evaluation

Aurélien Pomini, Sami Ben Hassen, Frank Schmutz

As traffic congestion becomes a huge problem for most developing and developed countries across the world, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are becoming a hot topic that is attracting attention of researchers and the general public alike. In this p ...

Virtual Traffic Lights: System Design and Implementation

Aurélien Pomini, Sami Ben Hassen, Frank Schmutz

Traffic congestion is a daunting problem that is affecting the daily lives of billions of people across the world. Recently, a promising new traffic control scheme known as Virtual Traffic Lights (VTL) has been proposed for mitigating traffic congestion. V ...

Spaces of effort, exploration of an experience of mobility

Alexandre André Robert Rigal, Farzaneh Bahrami

This article combines empirical, theoretical, and philosophical references to explore the notion of Effort as an integral part of active mobility and urban experience. Considering the increasing value of physical effort in urban life styles, we challenge t ...

Determinants of extreme commuting. Evidence from Brussels, Geneva and Lyon

Emmanuel Pierre Jean Ravalet, Stéphanie Vincent

Daily travel time has increased in Europe during the last decade. Some commuters show unusual commuting behaviours, so-called extreme commuting, which is defined as spending more than 100 min commuting a day. This paper aims to explain these commuting patt ...

Modeling the morning commute for urban networks with cruising-for-parking: An MFD approach

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Wei Liu

This study focuses on the morning commute problem with explicit consideration of cruising-for-parking, and its adverse impacts on traffic congestion. The cruising-for-parking is modeled through a dynamic aggregated traffic model for networks: the Macroscop ...

Effectiveness of variable speed limits considering commuters' long-term response

Wei Liu

This paper examines the effectiveness of variable speed limits (VSLs) on improving traffic flow efficiency and reducing vehicular emissions in a stylized setting of morning commute where a fixed number of individuals commute from home to work through the f ...

Efficiency of a highway use reservation system for morning commute

Wei Liu

This paper examines the design and efficiency of a highway use reservation system where commuters need reservations to access a highway facility at specific times. We show that, by accommodating reservation requests to the level that the highway capacity a ...

Traffic modeling, estimation and control for large-scale congested urban networks

Mohsen Ramezani Ghalenoei

Part I of the thesis investigates novel urban traffic state estimation methods utilizing probe vehicle data. Chapter 2 proposes a method to integrate the collective effect of dispersed probe data with traffic kinematic wave theory and data mining technique ...

Cooperative traffic control of a mixed network with two urban regions and a freeway

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Mohsen Ramezani Ghalenoei, Jack Haddad

Currently most optimization methods for urban transport networks (i) are suited for networks with simplified dynamics that are far from real-sized networks or (ii) apply decentralized control, which is not appropriate for heterogeneously loaded networks or ...

A Gender-based Analysis of Work Trip Mode Choice of Suburban Montreal Commuters Using Stated Preference Data

Transportation literature suggests that men and women have different characteristics with respect to commuting patterns, as well as with respect to their propensity to switch between travel options. In North America, women are expected to have an increasin ...
