The rationales that underlie modal practices

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 ...

Modeling lane changing and lane choice using naturalistic data from a swarm of drones

The pNEUMA dataset is the result of a unique field experiment using a swarm of ten drones flying over the central district of Athens, Greece. Using this newly available dataset, this paper focuses on two directly related topics: i) lane changing and ii) la ...

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 and optimization of dedicated bus lanes space allocation in large networks with dynamic congestion

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Dimitrios Tsitsokas, Anastasios Kouvelas

Dedicated bus lanes provide a low cost and easily implementable strategy to improve transit service by minimizing congestion-related delays. Identifying the best spatial distribution of bus-only lanes in order to maximize traffic performance of an urban ne ...

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 ...

Dynamic Transit Priority Lanes in Urban Networks

Together with signal priority, dedication of space to public transport has been the most widely used policy to improve bus operations. Permanent dedicated bus lanes however can lead to an under-utilization of the available space. Dierent strategies such as ...

Analysing density and identifying lane changing behaviour using naturalistic data from a swarm of drones

In recent years, drones have come a long way from their early expensive military implementation to today’s relative accessibility to the wider public. Video stabilization and image recognition have also been very active field of research which influence is ...

Empirical analysis of large-scale multimodal traffic with multi-sensor data

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng, Hui Fu

Recent advances in the network-level traffic flow modelling provide an efficient tool for analyzing traffic performance of large-scale networks. A relationship between density and flow at the network level is developed and widely studied, namely the macros ...

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 ...

Qualité de desserte et patterns spatio-temporels : accompagner le renouvellement des politiques publiques de déplacement par une adaptation plus fine de l’offre à la demande

Alexis Gumy, Marc-Edouard Baptiste Grégoire Schultheiss

In a society where car use is still predominant, resistance to modal shift questions traditional planning approaches. While lifestyles are diversifying, public transit timetables are still mainly based on commuting. This paper proposes a new, interdiscipli ...
