GreenEVT: Greensboro Electric Vehicle Testbed
The ongoing electrification of the transportation fleet will increase the load on the electric power grid. Since both the transportation network and the power grid already experience periods of significant stress, joint analyses of both infrastructures wil ...
Piscataway2024Artificial intelligence of things for smart cities: advanced solutions for enhancing transportation safety
Jeffrey Huang, Simon Elias Bibri
In the context of smart cities, ensuring road safety is crucial due to increasing urbanization and the interconnected nature of contemporary urban environments. Leveraging innovative technologies is essential to mitigate risks and create safer communities. ...
Springernature2024The Strong Integral Input-to-State Stability Property in Dynamical Flow Networks
Dynamical flow networks serve as macroscopic models for, e.g., transportation networks, queuing networks, and distribution networks. While the flow dynamics in such networks follow the conservation of mass on the links, the outflow from each link is often ...
Piscataway2024OASIS: An integrated optimisation framework for activity scheduling
Activity-based models offer the potential for a far deeper understanding of daily mobility behaviour than trip-based models. Based on the fundamental assumption that travel demand is derived from the need to do activities, they are flexible tools that aim ...
EPFL202450 years of behavioral models for transportation and logistics
Michel Bierlaire, Léa Massé Ricard
Fifty years ago, transportation and logistics problems were primarily analyzed either from a supply-side or a demand-side perspective, with the fields of operations research and demand modeling evolving separately. Since then, there has been a growing inte ...
2024The Haptic Link Enabling Driver-Automation Teaming
Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Tomohiro Nakade, Robert Fuchs
Over-reliance on the automation of transportation systems is understood to be the cause of new types of accidents. In this paper, the automated driving system is augmented with control methods enabling driver intervention without its full deactivation. The ...
IEEE2024Demand-based operations of vehicle sharing systems
Vehicle sharing systems (VSSs) allow users to rent vehicles for a short period of time, in a more flexible and convenient manner compared to the traditional vehicle rental services. The long-term VSS subscription replaces the need for contract signing for ...
EPFL2023Modeling and Optimization of Ridesplitting Operations
Ridesourcing has driven a lot of attention in recent years with the expansion of companies like Uber, Lift, and many others around the world. Companies use mobile applications connected through the internet to match drivers and their passengers real-time. ...
EPFL2023A general framework to evaluate different rebalancing operations strategies in one-way car sharing systems
Michel Bierlaire, Nikola Obrenovic, Selin Ataç
Car sharing systems (CSSs) are one of the environmentally beneficial solutions in urban transportation. However, the operators still struggle to make these systems profitable. One of the main contributors in operational cost is rebalancing operations. Ther ...
Springer2023The rationales that underlie modal practices
Encouraging a modal shift from individual transportation to less polluting modes such as public transport, walking and cycling, is now a key recommendation of the UN to reach the goals set by the Paris Agreement. Achieving this ambitious goal requires a de ...
