Hybrid Model Predictive Control of Bus Transport Systems

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel

Schedule instability adversely affects the performance of bus transport systems. Bus bunching and similar irregularities decrease quality of bus services and increase travel times. In this regard, bus system management schemes are of high importance. Motiv ...

Continuous structural health monitoring for short and medium span bridges

Ayaho Miyamoto

In this paper, although there are some useful monitoring methods for short and medium span(10-20m) bridges based on the qualitative or quantitative information, mainly two advanced structural health monitoring systems are described to review and analyses t ...

CRC PRESS-TAYLOR & FRANCIS GROUP2018

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 ...

Cost-Benefit Analysis of Electric Bus Fleet with Various Operation Intervals

Francesco Baldi

Electric buses are particularly suitable for city and suburban routes due to zero local exhaust and noise emissions. The operation schedule interval defines the charging power, bus fleet size and total cost of ownership of a bus. We propose a novel cost-be ...

Hybrid Modeling and Predictive Control of Bus Transport Systems

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel

Bus operations, due to their unstable nature, are inefficient when left to their own devices. Irregularities such as bus bunching lead to loss of time and decrease bus service quality. Development of bus transport system management schemes to avoid bus bun ...

Dynamical Modeling and Predictive Control of Bus Transport Systems: A Hybrid Systems Approach

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel

Bus operations, due to their unstable nature, are inefficient when left uncontrolled with respect to retaining headways. Irregularities such as bus bunching lead to loss of time and decrease bus service quality. Development of bus transport system manageme ...

Microcity, an Innovative Building Integrating Sustainability Issues from Urban Design to Constructive Detail

The Microcity building, which houses the new branch of the EPFL in Neuchâtel (Switzerland), is the result of a synergy-generating strategy based on partnerships, experimentation with innovative processes and the continuous integration of sustainability-rel ...

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 ...

De Gustibus Disputandum Est: Non-Linearity in Public Transportation Service Quality Evaluation

Amanda Blomberg Stathopoulos

User perceptions of service quality are essential to promote public transport ridership and trigger positive externalities. Therefore, research efforts need to analyze service quality from the point of view of users. This article builds on the stream of wo ...

A three-dimensional macroscopic fundamental diagram for mixed bi-modal urban networks

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng, Konstantinos Ampountolas

Recent research has studied the existence and the properties of a macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) for large urban networks. The MFD should not be universally expected as high scatter or hysteresis might appear for some type of networks, like heteroge ...
