A 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 ...

Mapping the Charging Demand for Electric Vehicles in 2050 from Mobility Habits

Christophe Ballif, Alejandro Pena Bello, Noémie Alice Yvonne Ségolène Jeannin

This paper proposes a method to spatially model and compare charging needs on the European scale considering local disparities in population density, distance to city centres, car ownership and mobility habits. Mobility habits are modelled across Europe in ...

Predictive user-based relocation through incentives in one-way car-sharing systems

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Patrick Stefan Adriaan Stokkink

Car-sharing systems are an attractive alternative to private vehicles due to their benefits in terms of mobility and sustainability. However, the distribution of vehicles throughout the network in one-way systems is disturbed due to asymmetry and stochasti ...

The dynamics of modal shifts in (sub)urban commuting: An empirical analysis based on practice theories

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Franziska Meinherz

A modal shift away from the private car onto low-carbon transport modes is an essential part of decarbonising the transport sector. The dynamics of modal shifts are, however, not yet well understood. In particular the interrelations between structural and ...

Empirical analysis of large-scale multimodal traffic with multi-sensor data

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng, Hui Fu

Recent advances in the network-level traffic flow modelling provide an efficient tool for analyzing traffic performance of large-scale networks. A relationship between density and flow at the network level is developed and widely studied, namely the macros ...

Multiclass Speed-Density Relationship for Pedestrian Traffic

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Marija Nikolic, Riccardo Scarinci

We introduce a probabilistic modeling approach for pedestrian speed density relationship. It is motivated by a high scatter in real data that precludes the use of traditional equilibrium relationships. To characterize the observed pattern, we relax the hom ...

An optimization framework for exclusive bus lane allocation in large networks with dynamic congestion

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Dimitrios Tsitsokas, Anastasios Kouvelas

Road space distribution among multiple modes of transport in urban networks has attracted the interest of several researchers and policy planners. Traditionally, these problems are solved by ignoring operational and dynamic characteristics of multi-modal c ...

An optimization framework for a light electric vehicle sharing system

Michel Bierlaire, Nikola Obrenovic, Selin Ataç

The vehicle sharing systems (VSSs) are becoming more and more popular due to both financial and environmental effects. On the other hand, they face many challenges, such as inventory management of the vehicles and parking spots, imbalance of the vehicles, ...
