We propose a probabilistic modeling approach to represent the speed-density relationship of pedestrian traffic. The approach is data-driven, and it is motivated by the presence of high scatter in the raw data that we have analyzed. We show the validity of ...

Multidimensional Indicator Analysis for Transport Policy Evaluation

Michel Bierlaire, Bilal Farooq, Dimitrios Efthymiou

The need for forecasting the direct and indirect effects of land use and transport policies on society, the environment, and the local economy has led to the development of integrated land use and transport (LUTI) models. The land use and transport policy ...

A macroscopic loading model applicable to time-dependent and congested pedestrian flows in public walking areas is proposed. Building on the continuum theory of pedestrian flows and the cell transmission model for car traffic, an isotropic framework is dev ...

Probabilistic speed-density relationship for pedestrians based on data driven space and time representation

Michel Bierlaire, Bilal Farooq, Marija Nikolic

This paper proposes a mathematical framework that provides the detailed characterization of the pedestrian flow. It is specifically designed to address the heterogeneity of pedestrian population which is to be reflected through the pedestrian flow indicato ...

In this paper, we propose a methodology to use the communication network infrastructure, in particular WiFi traces, to detect the sequence of activity episodes visited by pedestrians. Due to the poor quality of WiFi localization, a probabilistic method is ...

The generation of synthetic populations through simulation methods is an important research topic and has a key application in agent-based modeling of transport and land use. The next step in this research area is the generation of complete synthetic house ...

Microsimulation Framework for Urban Price-Taker Markets

Bilal Farooq

In the context of integrated transportation and other urban engineering infrastructure systems, there are many examples of markets, where consumers exhibit price-taking behaviour. While this behaviour is ubiquitous, the underlying mechanism can be captured ...

Pedestrian flows occurring in train stations are multi-directional and highly non-stationary. In this work, we develop a cell-based pedestrian flow model capable of describing flow patterns arising when a multitude of trains arrive and depart in close succ ...

Towards an activity-based model for pedestrian facilities

Michel Bierlaire, Bilal Farooq, Antonin Danalet

This paper develops a framework for understanding pedestrian mobility pattern from WiFi traces and other data sources. It can be used to forecast demand for pedestrian facilities such as railway stations, music festivals, campus, airports, supermarkets or ...
