Commoning the touristic city. Urban pedestrian routes and the ambiguous politics of exploration

This chapter explores touristic infrastructures as politics of ambiance, paying attention to the way they enable urban environment and engage pedestrians to experience cities critically. This issue will be documented through an ethnographic study of two to ...

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 ...

Pedestrian Stop and Go Forecasting with Hybrid Feature Fusion

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Taylor Ferdinand Mordan

Forecasting pedestrians' future motions is essential for autonomous driving systems to safely navigate in urban areas. However, existing prediction algorithms often overly rely on past observed trajectories and tend to fail around abrupt dynamic changes, s ...

Crash test-based assessment of injury risks for adults and children when colliding with personal mobility devices and service robots

Aude Billard, Diego Felipe Paez Granados

Autonomous mobility devices such as transport, cleaning, and delivery robots, hold a massive economic and social benefit. However, their deployment should not endanger bystanders, particularly vulnerable populations such as children and older adults who ar ...

Dynamic control strategies for managing pedestrian flows

Nicholas Alan Molyneaux

Pedestrians, like drivers, generally dislike congestion. This is true for most pedestrian environments: trains stations, airports, or shopping malls. Furthermore, pedestrian congestion also influences the attractiveness of public transportation networks. T ...

Both diversity and functional composition affect productivity and water use efficiency in experimental temperate grasslands

Charlotte Grossiord, Margaux Clara Lou Didion-Gency

Many experiments have shown that biodiversity promotes ecosystem functioning and stability and that this relationship varies with resource availability. However, we still have a poor understanding of the underlying physiological and ecological mechanisms d ...

The influence of chemical composition, aerosol acidity, and metal dissolution on the oxidative potential of fine particulate matter and redox potential of the lung lining fluid

Athanasios Nenes, Andrea Mario Arangio

Air pollution is a major environmental health risk and it contributes to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and excess mortality worldwide. The adverse health effects have been associated with the inhalation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and indu ...

Design and analysis of control strategies for pedestrian flows

Michel Bierlaire, Riccardo Scarinci, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux

Exploiting the full potential of pedestrian infrastructure is becoming critical in many environments which cannot be easily expanded to cope with the increasing pedestrian demand. This is particularly true for train stations as in many dense cities space i ...

Methodologies for understanding and improving pedestrian mobility

Michel Bierlaire, Marija Nikolic, Riccardo Scarinci, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux, Yuki Oyama, Zhengchao Wang

Pedestrian mobility is at the center of urban transportation systems. Therefore, understanding it is a necessary task to improve the mobility in cities. However, pedestrian mobility is extremely complex, and advance methods are needed to capture its dynami ...

Kinetics of the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and aqueous iodine: Implications for technical and natural aquatic systems

Urs von Gunten, Jaedon Shin

Oxidative treatment of iodide-containing waters can lead to a formation of potentially toxic iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs). Iodide (I-) is easily oxidized to HOI by various oxidation processes and its reaction with dissolved organic matter (DO ...

Assessing the usage and level-of-service of pedestrian facilities in train stations: A Swiss case study

Michel Bierlaire, Flurin Silvan Hänseler, Riccardo Scarinci

A framework for assessing the usage and level-of-service of rail access facilities is presented. It consists of two parts. A dynamic demand estimator allows to obtain time-dependent pedestrian origin-destination demand within walking facilities. Using that ...

The impact of counter-flow on pedestrian walking times

Michel Bierlaire, Riccardo Scarinci, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux

Exploiting the full potential of pedestrian infrastructures is becoming vital in many environments which cannot be easily expanded to cope with the increasing demand. This is particularly true of train stations in many dense cities since space is limited. ...

Multiclass Speed-Density Relationship for Pedestrian Traffic

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Marija Nikolic, Riccardo Scarinci

We introduce a probabilistic modeling approach for pedestrian speed density relationship. It is motivated by a high scatter in real data that precludes the use of traditional equilibrium relationships. To characterize the observed pattern, we relax the hom ...

Performance of Pedestrian-Load Models through Experimental Studies on Lightweight Aluminum Bridges

Scott Walbridge, Ann Christine Sychterz

Aluminum structures provide a high strength-to-weight ratio, are corrosion resistant, and are esthetically pleasing. Hence, their use in bridge construction has recently begun to increase, especially for pedestrian bridges. Because of their relative light ...

Probabilistic speed-density relationship for pedestrian traffic

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Bilal Farooq, Marija Nikolic

We propose a probabilistic modeling approach to represent the speed-density relationship of pedestrian traffic. The approach is data-driven, and it is motivated by the presence of high scatter in the raw data that we have analyzed. We show the validity of ...

Biomimetic adaptive control of a deployable tensegrity structure

Ann Christine Sychterz

Biomimetic behavior includes aspects such as learning from previous experience, self-diagnosis, and adaptation. This thesis describes control methodologies that are essential to development towards biomimetic behavior of a complex deployable structure. Sim ...

The Impact of the European Emission Trading Scheme on Multiple Measures of Economic Performance

Marianna Marino, Claudia Pellegrin

The European Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) has introduced a price for carbon, thus generating an additional cost for companies that are regulated by the scheme. The objective of this paper is to provide empirical evidence on the effect of the EU ETS on ...

Data-driven spatio-temporal discretization for pedestrian flow characterization

Michel Bierlaire, Marija Nikolic

We propose a novel approach to pedestrian flow characterization. The definitions of density, flow and velocity existing in the literature are extended through a data-driven spatio-temporal discretization framework. The framework is based on three-dimension ...
