Abstract

Abstract\r Purpose — In this paper we describe a total design data collection method (expanding the definition of the usual “total design” terminology used in typical household travel surveys) to emphasize the need to describe individual and group behaviors embedded within their [...]

Abstract

Geosimulation is a form of microsimulation that seeks to understand geographical patterns and dynamics as the outcome of micro level geographical processes. Geosimulation has been applied to understand such diverse systems as lake ecology, traffic congestion and urban growth. A crucial [...]

Abstract

Given the aging demographics and rapid urbanisation, cities need to be equipped to respond to emergency (eg. 999"br" calls) more quickly. By 2050, over 25% of the UK’s population will be over 65. This has implications on the"br" overall health services as well as the NHS Trust to [...]

Abstract

International audience; This paper proposes a framework for quantifying the macroscopic impacts of delivery goods made by double-parked vehicles in urban arterial using microscopic simulation. It is applied to a real urban corridor: the Lafayette Avenue in Lyon (France). The framework [...]

Abstract

In recent years, there have been several studies about the impact of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) on"br" the capacity of street networks. However, most studies consider a purely automated traffic on freeways where"br" neither human drivers nor pedestrians or bicyclists [...]

Abstract

Microsimulation software packages in the field of traffic and transportation have considerably facilitated designing traffic arteries and traffic objects and the analysis of the conditions for traffic in the existing road network. These software packages have been especially useful [...]

Abstract

Carbon footprint assessment due to airport operations is often required by environmental regulations. Aircraft contribute to local air pollution during the Landing and Take Off cycle. A big portion of the time aircraft spend on the ground is taken by taxi operations. Taxi times [...]

Abstract

SUMMARY This article describes a static assignment method for a class of emerging public transport systems called personal rapid transit (PRT). PRT is a fully automated public transportation system where small-size vehicles run on exclusive guideways. Because of its automated, [...]
