Uncovering substitution patterns in new car sales using a cross nested logit model

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Anna Fernández Antolín

In the context of sales of new cars it is important to understand and model the consumers substitution patterns as well as their price elasticity towards different types of cars. To do so we develop (i) a multinomial logit model (MNL) and (ii) a cross-nest ...

Spaces of Effort, Exploration of an Experience of Active Mobility

Alexandre André Robert Rigal, Farzaneh Bahrami

The poster explores the notion of Effort as an integral part of active mobility and in general of urban experience. Considering the increasing value of physical effort in urban life styles, we challenge the general premise of transport planning that tends ...

Just mobility in the city: the case of non-motorized households in car-dependent cities

Luca Giovanni Pattaroni, Dominic Villeneuve

By the simple fact of not owning a private automobile, some households are already experiencing sustainable mobility. They rely on public transportation networks, cycling and car sharing and tend to travel less than car-owning households. However, current ...

Rethinking Urban Space in a World Without Cars

Matthew Skjonsberg, Farzaneh Bahrami

The Confluence Collective in partnership with the Municipal Library of Lyon organizes moments of discussion and debate where young researchers present, confront and criticize their work in social sciences, humanities and arts. The reduction in individual m ...

Dispositions et usages de l’automobile et des transports publics entre 1994 et 2011 : Berne, Genève et Lausanne

Vincent Kaufmann, Emmanuel Pierre Jean Ravalet, Stéphanie Vincent, Derek Pierre Christie, Sébastien Munafò

Ambition affichée des politiques urbaines dans de nombreuses agglomérations européennes, le report modal de l’automobile vers les transports publics s’est longtemps heurté aux prédispositions de la population en matière de pratiques modales. À partir des d ...

Towards a Post-Car World. How (Not) to Experience the Future of Car Mobility

Vincent Kaufmann, Jérôme Chenal, Alexandre André Robert Rigal

In the face of the depletion of oil reserves in the near future, the considerable damages wrought by the automobile assemblage to urban life, and the threat of global warming, it is crucial to imagine a future without the car in order to preserve the quali ...

Walkability After the Car; looking into low-density urbanity

Farzaneh Bahrami

Taking the recent decline in ‘automobilities’ as a departure point, in this article, we reconstruct the constant opposition of pedestrian and car that marked the theoretical debates as well as the urban projects throughout the last century to better unders ...

Mobilities after the car

Alexandre André Robert Rigal, André Ourednik, Jade Rudler

For many, the self-evident use of the car blends out other possible mobilities. We seek a way to unfold the future by questioning other ways of moving around and living. In order to do so, we consider automobility as a problem to which solutions can be fou ...

Interpretation of Continuous-Time Autoregressive Processes as Random Exponential Splines

Michaël Unser, Julien René Pierre Fageot, John Paul Ward

We consider the class of continuous-time autoregressive (CAR) processes driven by (possibly non-Gaussian) Lévy white noises. When the excitation is an impulsive noise, also known as compound Poisson noise, the associated CAR process is a random non-uniform ...

An optimization framework for the development of efficient one-way car-sharing systems

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Burak Boyaci, Konstantinos Zografos

Electric vehicle-sharing systems have been introduced to a number of cities as a means of increasing mobility, reducing congestion, and pollution. Electric vehicle-sharing systems can offer one or two-way services. One-way systems provide more flexibility ...
