Analysis of the Relations Between Daily Space-Time Behaviours and Modal Practices. The Case of Switzerland

Vincent Kaufmann, Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon, Alexis Gumy, Armelle Loreline Hausser

Reducing the role of the car in daily mobility practices is still largely a struggle for Switzerland's public transport policies. Adapting transport supply to user demand is the major challenge for this modal shift, the response to which requires a detaile ...

Clip-Air: How pod planes could change travel forever

Claudio Leonardi

Despite, or perhaps because of, its simple design, the shipping container is one of the most disruptive inventions of the past century. It allows cargo to be moved cheaply from one mode of transport to another and has facilitated the development of the com ...

Probabilistic multimodal map-matching with rich smartphone data

Michel Bierlaire, Jingmin Chen

This article proposes a probabilistic method that infers the transport modes and the physical paths of trips from smartphone data that were recorded during travels. This method synthesizes multiple kinds of data from smartphone sensors, which provide relev ...

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 ...

Taste heterogeneity and latent preferences in the choice behaviour of freight transport operators

Michel Bierlaire

In this paper we show that individual attitudes of road carriers and their latent preferences toward specific freight service attributes do play a role in determining their mode choices. Specifically, we contribute to the empirical literature on freight ag ...
