Design and analysis of control strategies for pedestrian flows

Michel Bierlaire, Riccardo Scarinci, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux

Exploiting the full potential of pedestrian infrastructure is becoming critical in many environments which cannot be easily expanded to cope with the increasing pedestrian demand. This is particularly true for train stations as in many dense cities space i ...

Methodologies for understanding and improving pedestrian mobility

Michel Bierlaire, Marija Nikolic, Riccardo Scarinci, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux, Yuki Oyama, Zhengchao Wang

Pedestrian mobility is at the center of urban transportation systems. Therefore, understanding it is a necessary task to improve the mobility in cities. However, pedestrian mobility is extremely complex, and advance methods are needed to capture its dynami ...

The impact of counter-flow on pedestrian walking times

Michel Bierlaire, Riccardo Scarinci, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux

Exploiting the full potential of pedestrian infrastructures is becoming vital in many environments which cannot be easily expanded to cope with the increasing demand. This is particularly true of train stations in many dense cities since space is limited. ...

Electrification of urban mobility: The case of catenary-free buses

Michel Bierlaire, Riccardo Scarinci

Electric mobility is now a reality, and services based on electric vehicles, such as electric car-sharing and electric buses, are becoming part of urban mobility. These new modes bring new challenges for the design and operations of the systems that requir ...

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 exploration of moving walkways as a transport system in urban centers

Michel Bierlaire, André Ourednik, Riccardo Scarinci, Farzaneh Bahrami

Moving walkways (MW) have been imagined as a possible means of transport since the late 19th century, and this system has fascinated urban planners and engineers ever since. Contrary to what has been imagined, moving walkways are only used in transportatio ...

Needed reduction in mobility energy consumption to meet the goal of a 2000-watt society

Michel Bierlaire, Riccardo Scarinci, Frédéric Rast

Greenhouse gas emissions related to energy production is the main cause of climate change. Transportation accounts for 30% of the total energy consumption, and a reduction in the energy used for mobility is necessary. The 2000-watt society is an environmen ...
