Activity pattern modeling: A path choice approach

In Switzerland, the largest railway stations are called "RailCities" by the Swiss Railways. It emphasizes their transformation into place to live and perform several different activities, similar to a small-scale city. Similar concerns than in urban areas ...

A path choice approach to activity modeling with a pedestrian case study

Michel Bierlaire, Antonin Danalet

In Switzerland, the largest railway stations are called RailCities by the Swiss Railways. It emphasizes their transformation into places to perform different activities, similar to a small-scale city. Concerns are similar than in urban areas: costs of new ...

A macroscopic loading model for time-varying pedestrian flows in public walking areas

Michel Bierlaire, Bilal Farooq, Flurin Silvan Hänseler, Thomas Mühlematter

A macroscopic loading model applicable to time-dependent and congested pedestrian flows in public walking areas is proposed. Building on the continuum theory of pedestrian flows and the cell transmission model for car traffic, an isotropic framework is dev ...

Probabilistic speed-density relationship for pedestrians based on data driven space and time representation

Michel Bierlaire, Bilal Farooq, Marija Nikolic

This paper proposes a mathematical framework that provides the detailed characterization of the pedestrian flow. It is specifically designed to address the heterogeneity of pedestrian population which is to be reflected through the pedestrian flow indicato ...

Robust Real-time Pedestrians Detection in Urban Environments with a Network of Low Resolution Cameras

Michel Bierlaire, Pierre Vandergheynst, Alexandre Massoud Alahi

Detecting that pedestrians are present in front of a vehicle is highly desirable to avoid dangerous traffic situations. A novel vision-based system is presented to automatically detect far-away pedestrians with low-resolution cameras mounted in vehicles gi ...

Exploring the Volumetric City. A Methodology for Investigating the Topology and Morphology of Surface and Subsurface Urban Spatial Networks

Michael Robert Doyle

The urban underground has historically been developed as a series of sporadic responses to surface land shortage or to hide unsightly urban activities (Parriaux et al 2004; 2010). The Deep City project at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne in Swi ...

Towards an activity-based model for pedestrian facilities

Michel Bierlaire, Bilal Farooq, Antonin Danalet

This paper develops a framework for understanding pedestrian mobility pattern from WiFi traces and other data sources. It can be used to forecast demand for pedestrian facilities such as railway stations, music festivals, campus, airports, supermarkets or ...

A Pedestrian Destination-Chain Choice Model from Bayesian Estimation of Pedestrian Activities using Sensors Data

Michel Bierlaire, Bilal Farooq, Antonin Danalet

Pedestrian modeling is emerging as a tool for designing new infrastructures and optimizing the use of current ones. Given sensor traces, we are interested in developing a dynamic model that can predict the destination chain of an individual in pedestrian f ...

An aggregated dynamic flow model for pedestrian movement in railway stations

Michel Bierlaire, Bilal Farooq, Flurin Silvan Hänseler

Pedestrian flows occurring in train stations are multi-directional and highly non-stationary. In this work, we develop a cell-based pedestrian flow model capable of describing flow patterns arising when a multitude of trains arrive and depart in close succ ...
