Improving the understanding of mobility in cross-border areas using a pooled travel survey

Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon, Philippe Gerber

Understanding mobility behaviour in cross-border regions is a major challenge for transport policies and the wellbeing of people living near national borders. However, the available relevant information is often limited to a collection of unharmonized nati ...

On distributional autoregression and iterated transportation

Victor Panaretos, Laya Ghodrati

We consider the problem of defining and fitting models of autoregressive time series of probability distributions on a compact interval of Double-struck capital R. An order-1 autoregressive model in this context is to be understood as a Markov chain, where ...

Demand-based operations of vehicle sharing systems

Selin Ataç

Vehicle sharing systems (VSSs) allow users to rent vehicles for a short period of time, in a more flexible and convenient manner compared to the traditional vehicle rental services. The long-term VSS subscription replaces the need for contract signing for ...

Optimal Design Operation Strategies of a Hyperloop Transportation System

Denis Tudor

In the last decades, transportation demand growth has played a major role in the increase of global CO2 footprint. At the same time, a number of countries have scheduled measurable and substantial cutback of CO2 emissions by 2050. As the transportation sec ...

The rationales that underlie modal practices

Vincent Kaufmann

Encouraging a modal shift from individual transportation to less polluting modes such as public transport, walking and cycling, is now a key recommendation of the UN to reach the goals set by the Paris Agreement. Achieving this ambitious goal requires a de ...

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 ...

Assessment of the Bus Transit Network: A Perspective from the Daily Activity-Travel Organization of Travelers

Marc-Edouard Baptiste Grégoire Schultheiss

In a context where daily car use is a spontaneous and habitual choice for a wide majority of the population, the quality of the alternatives to individual motorized vehicles is a major factor in encouraging modal shift. The ease of access to public transpo ...

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 ...

Characterizing human mobility patterns in rural settings of sub-Saharan Africa

Andrea Rinaldo, Theophile Mande, Francisco Javier Perez Saez

Human mobility is a core component of human behavior and its quantification is critical for understanding its impact on infectious disease transmission, traffic forecasting, access to resources and care, intervention strategies, and migratory flows. When m ...

Empirical observations of multi-modal network-level models: Insights from the pNEUMA experiment

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Emmanouil Barmpounakis

Multi-modal interactions at the network-level remain unexplored due to the lack of highresolution data for all transportation modes involved. The current work investigates the effect of multi-modal interactions at space-mean network speed for each mode usi ...

Dedicated bus lane network design under demand diversion and dynamic traffic congestion: An aggregated network and continuous approximation model approach

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Mehmet Yildirimoglu

This paper proposes an integrated methodological framework to design a spatially heterogeneous bus route network and time-dependent service headways to serve travel demand that varies over time and space. Travelers choose to use either the transit mode or ...

The influence of trip length distribution on urban traffic in network-level models

Mikhail Murashkin

Modeling urban traffic on the level of network is a wide research area oriented to the development of ITS. In this thesis properties of models based on MFD (Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram) are studied. The idea behind MFD is to say that the state of the t ...

Forward-Backward Splitting for Optimal Transport Based Problems

Pascal Frossard, Guillermo Ortiz Jimenez, Mireille El Gheche, Hermina Petric Maretic, Effrosyni Simou

Optimal transport aims to estimate a transportation plan that minimizes a displacement cost. This is realized by optimizing the scalar product between the sought plan and the given cost, over the space of doubly stochastic matrices. When the entropy regula ...
