What Regulations For Ict-Based Mobility Services In Urban Transportation Systems? The Cases Of Ride-Booking Regulation In Sao-Paulo And Rio De Janeiro

Maxime Ugo Julien Audouin

Urban transportation is currently experiencing major changes, namely because of disruptive innovations driven by the information and communication technologies (ICTs). During the past few years, ride-booking has emerged in many cities around the world as o ...

WIT PRESS2018

The focus of the thesis is the utilization of the data collected using state-of-the-art tracking technologies for the characterization and modeling of pedestrian movements. In this context, the main objectives are the development of (i) data-driven definit ...

Data-driven spatio-temporal discretization for pedestrian flow characterization

Michel Bierlaire, Marija Nikolic

We propose a novel approach to pedestrian flow characterization. The definitions of density, flow and velocity existing in the literature are extended through a data-driven spatio-temporal discretization framework. The framework is based on three-dimension ...

In this project, we propose a probabilistic modeling approach to represent the speed- density relationship of pedestrian traffic. The approach is data-driven and is motivated by the presence of high scatter in the raw data I have been provided with (tracki ...

We introduce a 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 homogeneity assump ...

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 Ltd2016

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 ...

Data-driven characterization of pedestrian flows

Michel Bierlaire, Marija Nikolic

2016

Aluminum structures provide a high strength-to-weight ratio, are corrosion resistant, and are esthetically pleasing. Hence, their use in bridge construction has recently begun to increase, especially for pedestrian bridges. Because of their relative light ...

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 ...
