Estimation of pedestrian origin-destination demand in train stations
Michel Bierlaire, Flurin Silvan Hänseler, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux
We present a framework for estimating pedestrian demand within a train station. It takes into account ridership data, and various direct and indirect indicators of demand. Such indicators may include link flow counts, density measurements, survey data, his ...
Informs2017A dynamic network loading model for anisotropic and congested pedestrian flows
Michel Bierlaire, Marija Nikolic, Flurin Silvan Hänseler, Gael Lederrey
A macroscopic loading model for multi-directional, time-varying and congested pedestrian flows is proposed. Walkable space is represented by a network of streams that are each associated with an area in which they interact. To describe this interaction, a ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2017Modeling and estimation of pedestrian flows in train stations
This thesis addresses two modeling problems related to pedestrian flows in train stations, namely that of estimating pedestrian origin-destination demand in rail access facilities, and that of describing the propagation of pedestrians in walking facilities ...
EPFL2016Assessing the usage and level-of-service of pedestrian facilities in train stations: A Swiss case study
Michel Bierlaire, Riccardo Scarinci, Flurin Silvan Hänseler
A framework for assessing the usage and level-of-service of rail access facilities is presented. It consists of two parts. A dynamic demand estimator allows to obtain time-dependent pedestrian origin-destination demand within walking facilities. Using that ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2016Modeling pedestrian flows in train stations: The example of Lausanne railway station
Michel Bierlaire, Michaël Clément Louis Ghislain Thémans, Riccardo Scarinci, Flurin Silvan Hänseler, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux
In collaboration with the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB-CFF-FFS), various challenges associated with pedestrian flows in train stations are discussed at the example of Lausanne railway station. For this site, a rich set of data sources including travel surve ...

A macroscopic loading model for multi-directional, time-varying and congested pedestrian flows is proposed in this paper. Walkable space is represented by a network of streams that are each associated with an area in which they interact. To describe this i ...
2015Schedule-based estimation of pedestrian demand within a railway station
Michel Bierlaire, Flurin Silvan Hänseler, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux, Amanda Blomberg Stathopoulos
A framework is outlined for estimating pedestrian demand within a railway station which takes advantage of the train timetable and train frequentation data, as well as various direct or indirect indicators of demand. These may include e.g. link flow counts ...
