Integrating non-visual effects of light in the automated daylight-responsive control of blinds and electric lighting

Marta Benedetti

The use of daylight in buildings is important because it contributes to energy savings by reducing the use of electric lighting and space heating. It also impacts on biological functions and on well-being. Indeed, light not only allows vision, but has non- ...

Teleworking: Decreasing Mobility or Increasing Tolerance of Commuting Distances?

Emmanuel Pierre Jean Ravalet, Patrick Rerat

Teleworking is widely considered to be a way of solving mobility issues by decreasing the number of commuting trips. However, little is known about teleworking and, more specifically, its links with spatial mobilities and the potential rebound effects. Sta ...

Accounting for Dynamics in Pedestrian multi-class speed-density relationship

Marc-Edouard Baptiste Grégoire Schultheiss

In this project, we propose a probabilistic modeling approach to represent the speed- density relationship of pedestrian traffic. The approach is data-driven and is motivated by the presence of high scatter in the raw data I have been provided with (tracki ...

Daylight optimization of buildings and application of advanced daylighting systems in Central Mexico

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Mirjam Münch, Apiparn Borisuit, Chantal Basurto Dávila

The intensive use of daylight in buildings is beneficial at many levels: it provides sufficient levels of illumination to perform working activities throughout the day and it reduces the use of artificial light, which in turn leads to lower electricity con ...

Agent-Based Routing in Queueing Systems

Olivier Gallay

Waiting time in any network is often a costly and hence a bad experience. Therefore, to avoid jamming regions becomes essential in the optimization of traffic flows. In this regard, the conception and the control of complex networks supporting flows of uni ...

Interrelating operational and financial performance measurements in inventory theory

Margarita Protopappa

Financial flows are often treated in a fragmented and disconnected way from the physical product flow. Managers take decisions from an operational point of view concerning inventory, service level or capacity needs. The implementation of such decisions inf ...
