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

Ludy Juliana González Villamizar

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 ...

Synthesis of near-diffraction-free orbital-angular-momentum space-time wave packets having a controllable group velocity using a frequency comb

Tobias Kippenberg, Hao Song, Maxim Karpov, Zhe Zhao, Xinzhou Su

Novel forms of light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) have recently gained interest, especially due to some of their intriguing propagation features. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the generation of near-diffraction-free two-dimensional ( ...

Controlling pedestrian flows with moving walkways

Michel Bierlaire, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux

Moving walkways are pedestrian dedicated hardware which generally decrease pedestrian travel time. We propose the utilization of these devices to dynamically control pedestrian flows in order to improve pedestrian dynamics. Three variations of a control st ...

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 ...

Toward Sustainable Ridesourcing Services: A Simulation Study on the Effects of Congestion, Fleet Size, and Willingness to Share

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Caio Vitor Beojone

Human mobility in large cities is a complex dynamical system with high density of population, many transport modes to compete for limited available space and many operators that try to efficiently manage different parts of this system. New emerging modes o ...

A Measure of Dynamical Efficiency for Multimodal Interconnected Urban Systems

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Leonardo Bellocchi

Complex network theory describes network performance mostly based on topological characteristics, like betweenness centrality. This work integrates concepts from complex networks and traffic engineering. We propose a new measure for spatial networks and, i ...

An optimization framework for exclusive bus lane allocation in large networks with dynamic congestion

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Anastasios Kouvelas, Dimitrios Tsitsokas

Road space distribution among multiple modes of transport in urban networks has attracted the interest of several researchers and policy planners. Traditionally, these problems are solved by ignoring operational and dynamic characteristics of multi-modal c ...

Modeling and Optimization of Dedicated Bus Lane network design under dynamic traffic congestion

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Anastasios Kouvelas, Dimitrios Tsitsokas

Collective transport has been seen for long as a proper solution to fight congestion. While collectivity has been successful with respect to subways, it is not the norm in road traffic. Dedicated Bus Lanes (DBL) have been proposed as a measure to reduce th ...

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

Sami Ben Hassen, Aurélien Pomini, 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 ...

An exploration of moving walkways as a transport system in urban centers

Michel Bierlaire, André Ourednik, Farzaneh Bahrami, Riccardo Scarinci

Moving walkways (MW) have been imagined as a possible means of transport since the late 19th century, and this system has fascinated urban planners and engineers ever since. Contrary to what has been imagined, moving walkways are only used in transportatio ...

Heat kernel methods for Lifshitz theories

Diego Blas Temino, Mario Herrero Valea

We study the one-loop covariant effective action of Lifshitz theories using the heat kernel technique. The characteristic feature of Lifshitz theories is an anisotropic scaling between space and time. This is enforced by the existence of a preferred foliat ...
