Because of increasing global urbanization and its immediate consequences, including changes in patterns of food demand, circulation and land use, the next century will witness a major increase in the extent of paved roads built worldwide. To model the effe ...
With the 2014 World Cup's confirmation in Brazil, the country massively invested in several road constructions throughout the twelve host cities, alleging that the urban mobility sector needed to be better suited and that this would be the greatest legacy ...
Accompanying the strong growth of non-dense urban territories, road networks were mainly designed within a functionalist framework. However, the infrastructural legacy of automobile mobility now has to deal with a crisis that is not only social, economic, ...
Urbanisation is a fundamental phenomenon whose quantitative characterisation is still inadequate. We report here the empirical analysis of a unique data set regarding almost 200 years of evolution of the road network in a large area located north of Milan ...
A fully coupled method for reproducing road vehicle-bridge dynamic interaction is presented in which finite element models are used for the structure, multibody dynamics models for the vehicles and interaction is represented by means of a contact with the ...
Transport systems in real cities are complex with many modes of transport sharing and competing for limited road space. This work intends to understand how space distributions for modes and interactions among modes affect network traffic performance. While ...
This contribution proposal is based on a photographic campaign I have conducted over the last years on the borders of the Paris metropolitan and more specifically on the science campus located on the agricultural plateau of Saclay. It is supplemented with ...
As a substantial source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption, the road construction domain has to bring a contribution to the reduction of the environmental impacts. Indeed, an important part of the energy consumption and consequently e ...
The paper intends to identify the requirements of technological progress in public transportation and resultant impacts on people’s daily life and social inequalities, with a specific regard to the case of Santiago de Chile. There public transport policy h ...
Traffic simulation models are frequently used to support decisions when planning an evacuation. These models typically focus on traffic dynamics and the effect of traffic control measures in order to locate possible bottlenecks and predict evacuation times ...
