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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

Exploiting the full potential of pedestrian infrastructures in order to satisfy the demand induced by public transport modes is key to achieving good level-of-service for passengers during transfers. High temporal variability in demand can lead to high con ...

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 ...

Pedestrian management strategies for improving flow dynamics in transportation hubs

Michel Bierlaire, Riccardo Scarinci, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux

Forecasts predict a strong increase of the demand of public transport facilities in the next decades, close to doubling the number of users in the "Arc lémanique" area. This increase in demand can lead to congestion and poor level-of-service inside transpo ...

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 ...
