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 ...

Data-driven characterization of pedestrian flows

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 ...

Modeling and estimation of pedestrian flows in train stations

Flurin Silvan Hänseler

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 ...

Probabilistic speed-density relationship for pedestrian traffic

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Bilal Farooq, Marija Nikolic

We propose a probabilistic modeling approach to represent the speed-density relationship of pedestrian traffic. The approach is data-driven, and it is motivated by the presence of high scatter in the raw data that we have analyzed. We show the validity of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Modeling 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 dynamic, anisotropic and congested pedestrian flows: Implementation, calibration and case study analysis

Gael Lederrey

Pedestrian facilities are more and more congested. It is important to understand the modeling of pedestrian flows to assure safety and comfort. Many models have already been developed such as the social force modle and PedCTM. The problem is that either th ...
