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

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Dimitrios Tsitsokas, Anastasios Kouvelas

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 ...

Multi-class speed-density relationship for pedestrian traffic

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Marija Nikolic, Riccardo Scarinci

We introduce a modeling approach for pedestrian speed-density relationship. It is motivated by a high scatter in real data that precludes the use of traditional equilibrium relationships. To characterize the observed pattern we relax the homogeneity assump ...

Comparing the effects of car-dependence on non-motorized households - a mixed method approach

Dominic Villeneuve

Les villes occidentales sont développées autour de la mobilité automobile pouvant amener une forme de dépendance automobile (Dupuy, 1999; Graham & Marvin, 2001; Newman & Kenworthy, 1989). Dans une telle société, le fait de ne pas posséder de voiture peut m ...
