Attitudes towards mode choice in Switzerland

Michel Bierlaire, Aurélie Glerum, Bilge Atasoy

We integrate latent attitudes of individuals into a mode choice model through latent variable and latent class models with the help of psychometric indicators that enable us to measure these attitudes. The aim of the inclusion of attitudes is to better und ...

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 ...

Simulation based population synthesis

Michel Bierlaire, Ricardo Daniel Hurtubia González, Gunnar Flötteröd, Bilal Farooq

Microsimulation of urban systems evolution requires synthetic population as a key input. Currently, the focus is on treating synthesis as a fitting problem and thus various techniques have been developed, including Iterative Proportional Fitting (IPF) and ...

Choice Probability Generating Functions

Michel Bierlaire

This paper considers discrete choice, with choice probabilities coming from maximization of preferences from a random utility field perturbed by additive location shifters (ARUM). Any ARUM can be characterized by a choice-probability generating function (C ...

A simulation-based optimization framework for urban transportation problems

Michel Bierlaire, Carolina Osorio Pizano

This paper proposes a simulation-based optimization (SO) method that enables the efficient use of complex stochastic urban traffic simulators to address various transportation problems. It presents a metamodel that integrates information from a simulator w ...

Impact analysis of a flexible air transportation system

Claudio Leonardi, Michel Bierlaire, Matteo Salani, Bilge Atasoy

The paper provides analytical evidence of the added-value of flexibility for air transportation systems. More specifically, the impact of a new innovative modular aircraft on the operations of an airline is deeply analyzed. The impact analysis is carried o ...

Sample and Pixel Weighting Strategies for Robust Incremental Visual Tracking

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Michel Bierlaire, Javier Cruz Mota

In this paper, we introduce the incremental temporally weighted principal component analysis (ITWPCA) algorithm, based on singular value decomposition update, and the incremental temporally weighted visual tracking with spatial penalty (ITWVTSP) algorithm ...

An empirical comparison of travel choice models that capture preferences for compromise alternatives

Michel Bierlaire

Compromise alternatives have an intermediate performance on each or most attributes rather than having a poor performance on some attributes and a strong performance on others. The relative popularity of compromise alternatives among decision-makers has be ...

An exact algorithm for the integrated planning of berth allocation and quay crane assignment

Michel Bierlaire, Matteo Salani, Ilaria Vacca

In this paper we study the simultaneous optimization of berth allocation and quay crane assignment in seaport container terminals. We propose a model based on an exponential number of variables that is solved via column generation. An exact branch and pric ...

Metropolis-Hastings sampling of paths

Michel Bierlaire, Gunnar Flötteröd

We consider the previously unsolved problem of sampling paths according to a given distribution from a general network. The problem is difficult because of the combinatorial number of alternatives, which prohibits a complete enumeration of all paths and he ...

Within Individual Variation in Preferences: Equity Effects of Congestion Charges

Michel Bierlaire

The purpose of this research was to explore how the values of travel time (VTT) and preferences for different modes vary within individuals compared with the variation between observed trips. With 6-week revealed preference panel data and stated preference ...

Towards an activity-based model for pedestrian facilities

Michel Bierlaire, Antonin Danalet, Bilal Farooq

This paper develops a framework for understanding pedestrian mobility pattern from WiFi traces and other data sources. It can be used to forecast demand for pedestrian facilities such as railway stations, music festivals, campus, airports, supermarkets or ...

Integrated schedule planning with supply-demand interactions for a new generation of aircrafts

Michel Bierlaire, Matteo Salani, Bilge Atasoy

We present an integrated schedule planning model where the décisions of schedule design, fleeting and pricing are made simultaneously. Pricing is integrated through a logit demand model where itinerary choice is modeled by defining the utilities of the alt ...

An analysis of destination choice for opaque airline products using multidimensional binary logit models

Michel Bierlaire, Alexandre Khelifa

We investigate how customers respond to an opaque airline product offered by a European carrier. In this opaque product design, customers are randomly assigned to travel to one of approximately ten destinations; however, for a fee they may exclude one or m ...

Scale Invariant Feature Transform on the Sphere: Theory and Applications

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Michel Bierlaire, Iva Bogdanova Vandergheynst, Javier Cruz Mota

A SIFT algorithm in spherical coordinates for omnidirectional images is proposed. This algorithm can generate two types of local descriptors, Local Spherical Descriptors and Local Planar Descriptors. With the first ones, point matching between two omnidire ...

A tractable analytical model for large-scale congested protein synthesis networks

Michel Bierlaire, Carolina Osorio Pizano

This paper presents an analytical model, based on finite capacity queueing network theory, to evaluate congestion in protein synthesis networks. These networks are modeled as a set of single server bufferless queues in a tandem topology. This model propose ...

Happiness and Travel Mode Switching: Findings from a Swiss Public Transportation Experiment

Vincent Kaufmann, Michel Bierlaire, Regina Witter

We present results from a recent experiment conducted in Switzerland that studies the effects of a temporary change in the mode of travel to work on travel happiness and mode switching. The primary aim is to study the dynamics in travel satisfaction rating ...

Modeling the behavior of investors

Michel Bierlaire, Thomas Robin

We introduce a hybrid discrete choice framework to model the decisions of investors in stock markets. More specifically, we model the decision to buy or sell stocks using a binary logit model with latent classes, characterizing the perception of risk. The ...

Bayesian demand calibration for dynamic traffic simulations

Michel Bierlaire, Gunnar Flötteröd

We present an operational framework for the calibration of demand models for dynamic traffic simulations, where calibration refers to the estimation of a structurally predefined model's parameters from real data. Our focus is on disaggregate simulators tha ...
