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 ...

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 ...

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

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Anastasios Kouvelas, Dimitrios Tsitsokas

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 ...

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 systematic analysis of multimodal transport systems with road space distribution and responsive bus service

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng, Fangni Zhang

A smart design of transport systems involves efficient use and allocation of the limited urban road capacity in the multimodal environment. This paper intends to understand the system-wide effect of dividing the road space to the private and public transpo ...

Virtual Traffic Lights: System Design and Implementation

Sami Ben Hassen, Aurélien Pomini, 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 ...

Dynamic Clustering and Control for Large Scale Urban Networks

Mohammadreza Saeedmanesh

Traffic congestion is a significant issue in all urban areas with concentration of activities for various city topologies and distribution of population and land use around the world. Developing realistic models that are able to replicate congestion spread ...

Modeling and optimization of multimodal urban networks with limited parking and dynamic pricing

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng

Cruising-for-parking constraints mobility in urban networks. Car-users may have to cruise for on-street parking before reaching their destinations. The accessibility and the cost of parking significantly influence people's travel behavior (such as mode cho ...

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 ...

Time-dependent area-based pricing for multimodal systems with heterogeneous users in an agent-based environment

Guillaume Rérat, Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng

In this paper, we investigate an area-based pricing scheme for congested multimodal urban networks with the consideration of user heterogeneity. We propose a time-dependent pricing scheme where the tolls are iteratively adjusted through a Proportional-Inte ...

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 ...

A Dynamic Network Approach for Multimodal Urban Mobility : Modeling, Pricing and Control

Nan Zheng

Recent advances in traffic flow theory at the network level, namely the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD), reveals the existence of well-defined laws of congestion dynamics at aggregated levels. The same knowledge for multimodal networks however is lim ...

On the distribution of urban road space for multimodal congested networks

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng

Transport systems in real cities are complex with many modes of transport sharing and competing for limited road space. This work intends to understand how space distributions for modes and interactions among modes affect network traffic performance. While ...

Factors affecting the adoption of vehicle sharing systems by young drivers

Dimitrios Efthymiou

Transportation patterns in big cities are redefined by the growing trend of car ownership and usage costs (e.g. the initial cost of buying a car, the constantly growing fuel prices, additional maintenance and insurance costs and the increased parking deman ...

City size, network structure and traffic congestion

Nikolaos Geroliminis

This paper presents an alternative approach for analyzing the relationship between land use and traffic congestion by employing the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD). The MFD is an empirically observed relationship between traffic flow and traffic dens ...
