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 ...
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 ...

We propose a multi-hop control scheme (MHCS) that aims to route traffic through a set of designated intermediate checkpoints (ICs). Because travelers are allowed to freely choose routes for each “hop” that connects real (origin and destination) and ICs, MH ...

Despite raising awareness of sustainable behavior and considerable investments in the public transport network and active mobility infrastructure, car use remains the main practice for daily mobility in Switzerland. This work postulates that resistances to ...
Ensuring good access is a key element of land-use planning, allowing people to move around and access different services. This project focuses on the perception of access, as people base their transport mode choice on it. The context of lockdown due to COV ...

Pedestrians, like drivers, generally dislike congestion. This is true for most pedestrian environments: trains stations, airports, or shopping malls. Furthermore, pedestrian congestion also influences the attractiveness of public transportation networks. T ...
The new era of sharing information and "big data" has raised our expectations to make mobility more predictable and controllable through a better utilization of data and existing resources. The realization of these opportunities requires going beyond the e ...
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 ...

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 ...
More than 16, 000 people reach the EPFL campus every day by public transport, private car or non-motorised transports. According to the EPFL "Mobility Survey 2019", 22% of students commute by bicycle (compared to 20% of staff), but still 30% of the staff c ...
