Impacts of Metering-Based Dynamic Priority Schemes

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

Several works published over the last two decades have shown for a stylized set-up with homogeneous users that metering-based priority (MBP) schemes may generate Pareto improving departure time adjustments similar to those induced by congestion pricing, bu ...

Monotonicity in the trip scheduling problem

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

The equilibrium of the archetypal morning commute problem with alpha -,B - gamma preferences has been shown to be unstable with various rational adjustment mechanisms, under both continuous and discrete day-to-day dynamics. It is not clear however whether ...

Can Dynamic Priority Be Pareto Improving?

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

Traditional priority schemes reduce delays for some by increasing those of others. Yet, this might not be a necessity. Several works published over the last two decades have shown for a stylized set-up with homogeneous users that dynamic priority scheme ma ...

Scheduling trips through a bottleneck: monotonicity and stability

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

This paper investigates the stability of departure time choice within a population of commuters that need to pass through a bottleneck of constant capacity. It is shown that the corresponding utility function is monotonic if and only if the marginal utilit ...

The morning commute in urban areas with heterogeneous trip lengths

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

This paper investigates the equilibrium properties of the morning commute problem at the network level with heterogeneous trip lengths. Congestion is modeled with a Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram relating the space-mean speed of a network to the vehicular ...

Congestion and departure time choice equilibrium in urban road networks

Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

When drivers are regularly faced with congestion, they try to optimize their departure time. If the demand and the road network evolve slowly enough, the entire system may approach an equilibrium, i.e. a state such that no one can be better off by unilater ...

Dynamic Modeling of Trip Completion Rate in Urban Areas with MFD Representations

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Anastasios Kouvelas, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte, Mikhail Murashkin

A large part of the research utilizing the concept of Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) relies heavily on the PL model, an approximation of the trip completion rate derived for steady states. There exists an alternative method to the PL approximation. ...

On the use of reservation-based autonomous vehicles for demand management

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

Automated mobility on demand is foreseen as the future of urban passenger mobility. While mixed-traffic for autonomous and conventional vehicles could be considered, separation amplifies the benefits of automation. Combined with mobility as a service, sepa ...
