Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Congestion in Urban Transportation Networks

Yuxuan Ji

Research on congestion and propagation in large urban city networks has been mainly based on microsimulations of link-level traffic dynamics. However, both the unpredictability of travel behaviors and high complexity of accurate physical modeling remain ch ...

A Dynamic Network Approach for Multimodal Urban Mobility

Nan Zheng

Recent advances in traffic flow theory at the network level, namely the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD), reveals the existence of well-defined laws of congestion dynamics at aggregated levels. The same knowledge for multimodal networks however is lim ...

From smart specialisation to smart specialisation policy

Dominique Foray

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to focus on the distinction between smart specialisation and smart specialisation policy and it studies under what conditions a smart specialisation policy is necessary. Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual fram ...

Tutorial Session in: Large-scale hierarchical control for congested urban networks

Nikolaos Geroliminis

This tutorial describes methodologies to model and understand the collective behavior or different types of urban systems. It highlights under what physical properties the aggregated laws will provide reasonable description of congestion for single- and mu ...

City size, network structure and traffic congestion

Nikolaos Geroliminis

This paper presents an alternative approach for analyzing the relationship between land use and traffic congestion by employing the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD). The MFD is an empirically observed relationship between traffic flow and traffic dens ...

Robust Markov Decision Processes

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann

Markov decision processes (MDPs) are powerful tools for decision making in uncertain dynamic environments. However, the solutions of MDPs are of limited practical use because of their sensitivity to distributional model parameters, which are typically unkn ...

Dynamics of Lane Distribution Flows in Freeways

Nikolaos Geroliminis, André-Gilles Dumont, Sofia Samoili

Lane density and lane flow distribution are utilised in the current study as characteristics of traffic dynamics for control and planning purposes in freeways with ITS systems. As part of an on-going research, the Lane Flow Distribution Ratio (LFDR) and th ...

On the distribution of urban road space for multimodal congested networks

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng

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 ...

Within Individual Variation in Preferences: Equity Effects of Congestion Charges

Michel Bierlaire

The purpose of this research was to explore how the values of travel time (VTT) and preferences for different modes vary within individuals compared with the variation between observed trips. With 6-week revealed preference panel data and stated preference ...

A Dynamic Cordon Pricing Scheme combining a Macroscopic and an Agent-based traffic Models

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng

Pricing is considered an effective management policy to reduce traffic congestion in transportation networks. In this paper we combine a macroscopic model of traffic congestion in urban networks with an agent-based simulator to study congestion pricing sch ...
