Exploiting the full potential of pedestrian infrastructure is becoming critical in many environments which cannot be easily expanded to cope with the increasing pedestrian demand. This is particularly true for train stations as in many dense cities space i ...
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 ...
The evolution of European traffic, combined with the current works of revision of the Eurocode (CEN250 project 2nd Eurocode generation), represents an opportunity to improve the simplified method for fatigue checks (also known as the lambda method) for roa ...
Traditional priority schemes reduce delays for some by increasing those of others. Yet, this might not be a necessity. Several works published over the last two decades have shown for a stylized set-up with homogeneous users that dynamic priority scheme ma ...
Existing bridges in reinforced concrete (RC) need to be enhanced in order to comply with utilization and safety requirements of future use, in particular for higher traffic loads. Such enhancements comprise strengthening to increase the structural resistan ...
Complex network theory describes network performance mostly based on topological characteristics, like betweenness centrality. This work integrates concepts from complex networks and traffic engineering. We propose a new measure for spatial networks and, i ...
Management of road traffic in urban settings remains a challenging problem. Perimeter control schemes proposed to alleviate congestion in large-scale urban networks usually assume noise-free measurements of the traffic state, which is problematic since mea ...
There is a significant need to examine precisely the conditions of concrete road bridges because of the increasing traffic and axle loads and the fact that most existing bridges were not designed with respect to fatigue. In-situ investigations are challeng ...
A reliable novel monitoring approach is developed to assess the structural condition of reinforced-concrete bridge elements. The approach is based on combining acoustic emission technique and strain gauge measurements, and it is illustrated by a case study ...
Driving is a very challenging task to automatize despite how naturally and efficiently it may come to experienced human drivers. The complexity stems from the need to (i) understand the surrounding context and forecast how it is likely to evolve, (ii) plan ...
