Microscopic traffic flow models can be distinguished in lane-based or lane-free depending on the degree of lane-discipline. This distinction holds true only if motorcycles are neglected in lane-based traffic. In cities, as opposed to highways, this is an o ...
This dissertation introduces traffic forecasting methods for different network configurations and data availability.Chapter 2 focuses on single freeway cases.Although its topology is simple, the non-linearity of traffic features makes this prediction still ...
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 ...

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 ...
Macroscopic fundamental diagrams (MFDs) have been widely adopted to model the traffic flow of large-scale urban networks. Coupling perimeter control and regional route guidance (PCRG) is a promising strategy to decrease congestion heterogeneity and reduce ...
Time to collision (TTC) is a key indicator of human locomotion, encompassing both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Applications of the TTC concept span a wide spectrum from safety to traffic flow dynamics. However, there exists no generic formulation for ...
The current works of revision of the Eurocodes (CEN250 project 2nd Eurocode generation), is an opportunity to update the simplified method (lambda factor method) for fatigue verification for road bridges. Especially as this method is based on old traffic m ...
A formal framework to characterize and control/optimize the flow past permeable membranes by means of a homogenization approach is proposed and applied to the wake flow past a permeable cylindrical shell. From a macroscopic viewpoint, a Navier-like effecti ...

We study the flow past a permeable sphere modeled using homogenization theory. The flow through the porous medium is described by the Darcy law, in which the permeability quantifies the resistance for the fluid to pass through the microstructure. A slip co ...

This research is the result of four years of practical and scientific investigation of the phenomenon of traffic evaporation, which was considered and then demonstrated to be the opposite of traffic induction. It has anchored, in practice and in time, an o ...
