An Iterative Adaptive Dynamic Programming Approach for Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram-Based Perimeter Control and Route Guidance

Macroscopic fundamental diagrams (MFDs) have been widely adopted to model the traffic flow of large-scale urban networks. Coupling perimeter control and regional route guidance (PCRG) is a promising strategy to decrease congestion heterogeneity and reduce ...

A hybrid microscopic model for multimodal traffic with empirical observations from aerial footage

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Georgios Anagnostopoulos

Microscopic traffic flow models can be distinguished in lane-based or lane-free depending on the degree of lane-discipline. This distinction holds true only if motorcycles are neglected in lane-based traffic. In cities, as opposed to highways, this is an o ...

L'évaporation du trafic, opportunités et défis pour la mobilité d'aujourd'hui et demain

Pauline Geneviève Thérèse Hosotte

This research is the result of four years of practical and scientific investigation of the phenomenon of traffic evaporation, which was considered and then demonstrated to be the opposite of traffic induction. It has anchored, in practice and in time, an o ...

A systematic approach to estimating traffic load effects on bridges using weigh-in-motion data

Alain Nussbaumer, Manfred Hirt, Matthew James Sjaarda

In contrast to the Swiss load model used for new bridge structures (SIA 261), which has roots in a Europe-wide weigh-in-motion (WIM) study and considers the full design life of new structures, the model for existing structures (SIA 269) from 2005 is derive ...

Shockwave identification and critical parameter estimation using a detailed dataset from a swarm of drones

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Emmanouil Barmpounakis, Nicolas Sébastien Richter

In the era of big data, new transportation-related concepts and methodologies need to be proposed for understanding how congestion propagates. pNEUMA, a unique dataset that was acquired during a first-of-its-kind experiment with a swarm of drones over a de ...

Combinatorial optimization of Dedicated Bus Lane layout in urban networks with dynamic congestion

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Dimitrios Tsitsokas, Anastasios Kouvelas

Transit priority based in exclusive right-of-way is a low-cost way of improving transit service by minimizing delays caused by interaction with other vehicles. This effect can increase the share of public transit against private cars in the mode preference ...

Model predictive perimeter control of MFD networks with guaranteed stability

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel

Traffic management for large-scale urban road networks remains a challenging problem. Aggregated dynamical models of city-scale traffic, based on the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD), enable development of model-based control schemes for use with the ...

A complex networks approach to traffic flow theory: measures and models

Leonardo Bellocchi

In this thesis, we developed a research direction that combines the theoretical concepts of complex networks with practical needs and applications in the field of transportation engineering. As a first objective we analyzed the phenomenon of congestion pr ...

Dynamic lane restrictions on congested arterials

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Paul Richard Anderson

Buses operating in mixed traffic experience problems with delay and travel time variability in peak periods. Numerous transit priority measures are found in the literature but most rely on separating buses from other vehicles. Complete separation such as d ...

Evidence of traffic-generated air pollution in Havana

François Golay, Alain Clappier, Jessie Madrazo Bacallao

In Havana, transport is blamed as a likely source of pollution issues. which is usually supported on arguments referring to a vehicle fleet mainly made of old cars (i.e., most models are American from the 1950s or Russian from the 1980s) with poor technica ...

Traffic Locality as an Opportunity in the Data Center

Jonas Fietz

In large scale data centers, network infrastructure is becoming a major cost component; as a result, operators are trying to reduce expenses, and in particular lower the amount of hardware needed to achieve their performance goals (or to improve the perfor ...

Virtual Vehicle-Based Cooperative Maneuver Planning for Connected Automated Vehicles at Single-Lane Roundabouts

Denis Gillet, Ezequiel González Debada

This paper presents a distributed maneuver planner for connected automated vehicles (CAVs) built upon the idea of CAVs being able to explicitly share their intentions by creating virtual vehicles (Us) on the targeted traffic stream. Specifically, this work ...

Hierarchical control of heterogeneous large-scale urban road networks via path assignment and regional route guidance

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel, Mehmet Yildirimoglu

High level of detail renders microscopic traffic models impractical for control purposes and local control schemes cannot coordinate actions over large scale heterogeneously congested urban networks. Developing efficient models and control methods for larg ...

“Pocket-Monitoring” for the fatigue safety verification of bridge members in steel and reinforced concrete

Eugen Brühwiler

The fatigue safety of the reinforced concrete deck slab of a sixty-year-old steel-concrete road viaduct as well as the riveted steel girders of a 130 year old railway bridge was questioned based on the results of conventional assessment consisting in "re-c ...

Hierarchical Management of Heterogeneous Large-Scale Urban Networks via Path Assignment and Regional Route Guidance

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel, Mehmet Yildirimoglu

High level of detail renders microscopic traffic models impractical for control purposes and local control schemes cannot coordinate actions over the whole city. Thus, development of efficient modeling and control methods for large-scale urban road network ...

DYNAMIC CLUSTERING AND PROPAGATION OF CONGESTION IN LARGE TRAFFIC NETWORKS

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Mohammadreza Saeedmanesh

The problem of clustering in urban traffic networks has been mainly studied in static framework by only considering traffic conditions at a given time. Nevertheless, it is important to underline here that traffic is a strongly time-variant process and it n ...
