Assessing the Impact of Transit Signal Priority Strategies on a Network
This research presents the implementation of two different transit signal priority strategies and assesses their impact on the whole network through a bi-modal three-dimensional Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram. The first TSP strategy is the green extension ...
2021Modeling and optimization of dedicated bus lanes space allocation in large networks with dynamic congestion
Nikolaos Geroliminis, Dimitrios Tsitsokas, Anastasios Kouvelas
Dedicated bus lanes provide a low cost and easily implementable strategy to improve transit service by minimizing congestion-related delays. Identifying the best spatial distribution of bus-only lanes in order to maximize traffic performance of an urban ne ...
2021Dynamic Transit Priority Lanes in Urban Networks
Together with signal priority, dedication of space to public transport has been the most widely used policy to improve bus operations. Permanent dedicated bus lanes however can lead to an under-utilization of the available space. Dierent strategies such as ...
2020Shockwave identification and critical parameter estimation using a detailed dataset from a swarm of drones
Nikolaos Geroliminis, Emmanouil Barmpounakis, Nicolas Sébastien Richter
In the era of big data, new transportation-related concepts and methodologies need to be proposed for understanding how congestion propagates. pNEUMA, a unique dataset that was acquired during a first-of-its-kind experiment with a swarm of drones over a de ...
2020BCI based on Neural Correlates of Anticipatory Behavior during Driving
Anticipation of events such as, changes in traffic light signals and preparing to brake or accelerate are critical behaviors during driving. Smart vehicles, equipped with on-board Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), could decode the driver's intention to perfo ...
EPFL2016A three-dimensional macroscopic fundamental diagram for mixed bi-modal urban networks
Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng, Konstantinos Ampountolas
Recent research has studied the existence and the properties of a macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) for large urban networks. The MFD should not be universally expected as high scatter or hysteresis might appear for some type of networks, like heteroge ...
Elsevier2014Traffic modeling, estimation and control for large-scale congested urban networks
Part I of the thesis investigates novel urban traffic state estimation methods utilizing probe vehicle data. Chapter 2 proposes a method to integrate the collective effect of dispersed probe data with traffic kinematic wave theory and data mining technique ...
EPFL2014Estimating MFDs in simple networks with route choice
The concept of the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) is elegant and attractive because it provides a global view of traffic behavior and performance at a network level. However, recent research shows that the MFD shape can be influenced by local traffi ...
Elsevier2013A new approach for co-operative bus priority at traffic signals
Bus priority at traffic signals is a growing area of co-operative transport system applications. Interest in bus priority continues to grow as the Cities pay more attention to the needs of buses to provide fast, frequent and reliable services thus contribu ...
