Dynamic lane restrictions on congested arterials

Nikolaos Geroliminis

Buses operating in mixed traffic experience problems with delay and travel time variability in peak periods. Numerous transit priority measures are found in the literature but most rely on separating buses from other vehicles. Complete separation such as d ...

Area-based equitable pricing strategies for multimodal urban networks with heterogeneous users

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng

Equity issues among travellers are critical in congestion pricing. Failure to treat equity can lead to low acceptability towards pricing. In this paper, we develop congestion pricing schemes to improve both equity and traffic performance, for multimodal ne ...

On the inefficiency of ride-sourcing services towards urban congestion

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Caio Vitor Beojone

The advent of shared-economy and smartphones made on-demand transportation services possible, which created additional opportunities, but also more complexity to urban mobility. Companies that offer these services are called Transportation Network Companie ...

A complex networks approach to traffic flow theory: measures and models

Leonardo Bellocchi

In this thesis, we developed a research direction that combines the theoretical concepts of complex networks with practical needs and applications in the field of transportation engineering. As a first objective we analyzed the phenomenon of congestion pr ...

An optimization framework for exclusive bus lane allocation in large networks with dynamic congestion

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Anastasios Kouvelas, Dimitrios Tsitsokas

Road space distribution among multiple modes of transport in urban networks has attracted the interest of several researchers and policy planners. Traditionally, these problems are solved by ignoring operational and dynamic characteristics of multi-modal c ...

Time-dependent area-based pricing for multimodal systems with heterogeneous users in an agent-based environment

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng

In this paper, we investigate an area-based pricing scheme for congested multimodal urban networks with the consideration of user heterogeneity. We propose a time-dependent pricing scheme where the tolls are iteratively adjusted through a Proportional-Inte ...

Modeling the morning commute for urban networks with cruising-for-parking: An MFD approach

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Wei Liu

This study focuses on the morning commute problem with explicit consideration of cruising-for-parking, and its adverse impacts on traffic congestion. The cruising-for-parking is modeled through a dynamic aggregated traffic model for networks: the Macroscop ...

Modeling and optimization of multimodal urban networks with limited parking and dynamic pricing

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng

Cruising-for-parking constraints mobility in urban networks. Car-users may have to cruise for on-street parking before reaching their destinations. The accessibility and the cost of parking significantly influence people's travel behavior (such as mode cho ...

An Electrostatic Ion-guide and a High-resolution Thrust-stand for Characterization of Micro-propulsion Devices

Subha Chakraborty

Interest in microthrusters has grown significantly in the last two decades for possible applications in small satellites and deep space missions. This thesis is motivated by the need of experimental setup for characterization of microthrusters. In the firs ...

Position accuracy with redundant MEMS IMU for road applications

Jan Skaloud, Bertrand Merminod, Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Philipp Clausen

Traffic problems have mainly resulted from an increase in mobility over the last decades involving an increase in traffic congestion and degradation of environmental conditions. The employment of new systems - namely, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) is ...

Different flavors of Toll guide olfaction

Bruno Lemaitre, Claudine Danielle Patricia Öngen

Toll-like receptors are historically linked to immunity across animal phyla, but accumulating evidence suggests they play additional roles in neuronal networks and in cell-cell interactions. Ward and colleagues now identify Toll-6 and Toll-7 as instructive ...

A Dynamic Network Approach for Multimodal Urban Mobility : Modeling, Pricing and Control

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Framework for real-time traffic forecasting methodology under exogenous parameters

André-Gilles Dumont, Sofia Samoili

Ensuing from the deteriorating conditions of road networks, traffic forecasting techniques with mathematical and computer-theory methods have been employed to address the real-time prediction of traffic conditions and their dynamic control, with the optimu ...
