Perimeter flow control in bi-modal urban road networks: A robust feedback control approach

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng, Konstantinos Ampountolas

n this paper, we integrate a three-dimensional Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (3D-MFD) modelling for mixed bi-modal urban traffic in a control framework for congested urban regions. The 3D-MFD relates the accumulation of cars and buses and the outflow (or ...

De Gustibus Disputandum Est: Non-Linearity in Public Transportation Service Quality Evaluation

Amanda Blomberg Stathopoulos

User perceptions of service quality are essential to promote public transport ridership and trigger positive externalities. Therefore, research efforts need to analyze service quality from the point of view of users. This article builds on the stream of wo ...

Enhanced measurement equations for latent class choice models

Michel Bierlaire, Ricardo Daniel Hurtubia González, Aurélie Glerum, My Hang Nguyen

Integrating psychometric indicators in latent class choice models allows to enhance the characterization of the latent classes. In this research, we consider measurement equations that include socio-economic indicators of the decision-makers. We show that ...

Optimal Perimeter Control for Two Urban Regions With Macroscopic Fundamental Diagrams: A Model Predictive Approach

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Mohsen Ramezani Ghalenoei, Jack Haddad

Recent analysis of empirical data from cities showed that a macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) of urban traffic provides for homogenous network regions a unimodal low-scatter relationship between network vehicle density and network space-mean flow. In t ...

Traffic Prediction Based on a Local Exchange of Information

Guillaume Adrien Sartoretti, Bastien Chopard

We propose a decentralized method for traffic monitoring, fully distributed over the vehicles. An algorithm is provided, specifying which information should be tracked to reconstruct an instantaneous map of traffic flow. We test the accuracy of our method ...
