Traffic modeling, forecasting and assignment in large-scale networks

Mehmet Yildirimoglu

Today, the development and evaluation of traffic management strategies heavily relies on microscopic traffic simulation models. In case detailed input (i.e. od matrix, signal timings, etc.) is extracted and incorporated in these simulators, they can provid ...

Simulation and optimization in transportation: a short review

Michel Bierlaire

This review discusses some issues related to the use of simulation in transportation analysis. Potential pitfalls are identified and discussed. An overview of some methods relevant to the use of an advanced simulation tool in an optimization context is als ...

Socially-Aware Large-Scale Crowd Forecasting

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Vignesh Ramanathan

In crowded spaces such as city centers or train stations, human mobility looks complex, but is often influenced only by a few causes. We propose to quantitatively study crowded environments by introducing a dataset of 42 million trajectories collected in t ...

Several Multiplexes in the same City: The role of wealth differences in urban mobility

Alessio Vincenzo Cardillo

In this work we analyze the architecture of real urban mobility networks from the multiplex perspective. In particular, based on empirical data about the mobility patterns in the cities of Bogot'a and Medell'{\i}n, each city is represented by six multipl ...

Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Congestion in Urban Transportation Networks

Yuxuan Ji

Research on congestion and propagation in large urban city networks has been mainly based on microsimulations of link-level traffic dynamics. However, both the unpredictability of travel behaviors and high complexity of accurate physical modeling remain ch ...

Accessibility Futures

Paul Richard Anderson

This study uses accessibility as a performance measure to evaluate a matrix of future land use and network scenarios for planning purposes. The concept of accessibility dates to the 1950s, but this type of application to transportation planning is new. Pre ...

Factors affecting the adoption of vehicle sharing systems by young drivers

Dimitrios Efthymiou

Transportation patterns in big cities are redefined by the growing trend of car ownership and usage costs (e.g. the initial cost of buying a car, the constantly growing fuel prices, additional maintenance and insurance costs and the increased parking deman ...

Impact analysis of a flexible air transportation system

Michel Bierlaire, Claudio Leonardi, Matteo Salani, Bilge Atasoy

The paper provides analytical evidence of the added-value of flexibility for air transportation systems. More specifically, the impact of a new innovative modular aircraft on the operations of an airline is deeply analyzed. The impact analysis is carried o ...

A Probabilistic Map Matching Method for Smartphone GPS data

Michel Bierlaire, Jingmin Chen, Jeffrey Newman

Smartphones have the capability of recording various kinds of data from built-in sensors such as GPS in a non-intrusive, systematic way. In transportation studies, such as route choice modeling, the discrete sequences of GPS data need to be associated with ...
