Controlling pedestrian flows with moving walkways

Michel Bierlaire, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux

Moving walkways are pedestrian dedicated hardware which generally decrease pedestrian travel time. We propose the utilization of these devices to dynamically control pedestrian flows in order to improve pedestrian dynamics. Three variations of a control st ...

Perimeter Control and Route Guidance of Multi-Region MFD Systems With Boundary Queues Using Colored Petri Nets

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Anastasios Kouvelas, Hui Fu

Perimeter control based on Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) aims to meter the number of transferring vehicles at the periphery of the protected urban region in order to obtain the desired number of vehicles in that region. The advantage of perimeter c ...

Optimization-based Control, Estimation, and Identification of Urban Road Transport Systems

Isik Ilber Sirmatel

Urbanization intensifies as a global trend, exposing transportation networks to ever increasing levels of congestion. As network usage increases with available infrastructure, building new roads is not a solution. Design of intelligent transportation syste ...

Model-based Identification, Estimation, and Control for Large-scale Urban Road Networks

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel

Network-level road traffic control remains a challenging problem. Macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) based dynamical models of large-scale urban networks enable development of model predictive perimeter control methods, which represent an efficient cong ...

Two-layer hierarchical control for large-scale urban traffic networks

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Anastasios Kouvelas

Many efforts have been carried out to optimize the traffic signal settings in cities. Nevertheless, state-of-the-art and -practice strategies cannot deal efficiently with oversaturated conditions (i.e. queue spillbacks and partial gridlocks), as they are e ...

Dynamic Clustering and Control for Large Scale Urban Networks

Mohammadreza Saeedmanesh

Traffic congestion is a significant issue in all urban areas with concentration of activities for various city topologies and distribution of population and land use around the world. Developing realistic models that are able to replicate congestion spread ...

A dynamic network loading model for anisotropic and congested pedestrian flows

Michel Bierlaire, Marija Nikolic, Gael Lederrey, Flurin Silvan Hänseler

A macroscopic loading model for multi-directional, time-varying and congested pedestrian flows is proposed. Walkable space is represented by a network of streams that are each associated with an area in which they interact. To describe this interaction, a ...

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 ...

The SaPPART COST Action: Towards positioning integrity for road transport

Pierre-Yves Gilliéron

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is becoming one of the main components supporting Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and value-added services in road transport and personal mobility. The use of GNSS is expected to grow significantly due to impr ...
