This paper proposes an integrated methodological framework to design a spatially heterogeneous bus route network and time-dependent service headways to serve travel demand that varies over time and space. Travelers choose to use either the transit mode or ...

Electric mobility is now a reality, and services based on electric vehicles, such as electric car-sharing and electric buses, are becoming part of urban mobility. These new modes bring new challenges for the design and operations of the systems that requir ...

Simulation is an informative tool to plan the design and renovation of engineering systems, but its use requires accurate inputs from the users. Inputs such as the unknown future operating conditions might be expected in a system’s lifetime, e.g., the futu ...

Transportation electrification is increasing and recently-more focus has been directed on heavy vehicles and especially on city buses. Battery electric buses are inherently more energy efficient than diesel buses and the efficiency can be further increased ...

This thesis introduces new operational management policies for two types of on-demand shared mobility systems, the now well-studied one-way carsharing systems and a new innovative semi-autonomous last-mile transportation system. In addition, two associated ...

Understanding the link between the brain's anatomy and its function through computer simulations of neural tissue models is a widely used approach in computational neuroscience. This technique enables rapid prototyping and testing of hypotheses, allowing r ...

Recent advances in the network-level traffic flow modelling provide an efficient tool for analyzing traffic performance of large-scale networks. A relationship between density and flow at the network level is developed and widely studied, namely the macros ...

Among hydrodynamically unstable flows, the amplifier-flows are characterized by their large amplification potential in presence of external noise. Since amplifiers do not have an intrinsic dynamics, a chosen forcing can be applied to eventually control the ...

The Smart Factory is an important topic worldwide as a means for achieving Industry 4.0 in the manufacturing domain. Contemporary research on the Smart Factory has been concerned with application of the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) to the shop floor. ...

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 ...

A smart design of transport systems involves efficient use and allocation of the limited urban road capacity in the multimodal environment. This paper intends to understand the system-wide effect of dividing the road space to the private and public transpo ...

Transit priority based in exclusive right-of-way is a low-cost way of improving transit service by minimizing delays caused by interaction with other vehicles. This effect can increase the share of public transit against private cars in the mode preference ...

This paper presents demonstration of a protection scheme integrated into marine DC power distribution networks to investigate the coordination between each protection action. The integrated protection scheme is based on three different time-frame protectio ...

Electric buses are particularly suitable for city and suburban routes due to zero local exhaust and noise emissions. The operation schedule interval defines the charging power, bus fleet size and total cost of ownership of a bus. We propose a novel cost-be ...

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, energy storage systems (ESSs), and DC loads has opened the door to DC technology to pave its way into future grids. The shift has been more obvious in the marine domain supported by track records of i ...

In this paper, although there are some useful monitoring methods for short and medium span(10-20m) bridges based on the qualitative or quantitative information, mainly two advanced structural health monitoring systems are described to review and analyses t ...

Human mobility in large cities is a complex dynamical system with high density of population, many transport modes to compete for limited available space and many operators that try to efficiently manage different parts of this system. New emerging modes o ...
