Hybrid traffic data collection roadmap
(2013)PATH Research ReportTraffic data is used to estimate current traffic conditions so that travelers and agencies can make better decisions about how to use and manage the transportation network. This research explores the fusion of probe data (vehicle speed and direction) with loop data (density, speed, and count) in the context of producing overall network speed and travel time estimates. Speed and travel time estimates are useful in many circumstances, but ...Report -
Arriving on time
(2013)Internal Technical ReportMost optimal routing problems focus on minimizing travel time or distance traveled. Oftentimes, a more useful objective is to maximize the probability of on-time arrival, which requires statistical distributions of travel times, rather than just mean values. We propose a method to estimate travel time distributions on large-scale road networks, using probe vehicle data collected from GPS. We present a framework that works with large input ...Report -

Energy efficiency, bounded rationality and energy-related financial literacy in the Swiss household sector
(2018)The main objectives of this project are to: (1) provide a systematic overview based on the microeconomics of production and on the household production theory of the relation between energy demand, production of energy services, input prices and energy efficiency; (2) measure the level of efficiency in the use of electricity through the estimation using econometric methods of an electricity demand frontier function for a sample of Swiss ...Report -

A Configurational Analysis of Vocational Education and Training Programmes: Types of Education-Employment Linkage and their Explanatory Power
(2018)KOF Working PapersTo deepen scholarly understanding of unfavourable youth labour market outcomes of vocational education and training (VET) programmes, this paper develops an empirical typology of VET programmes in developed countries. Building on a theoretical framework that draws on the theory of social systems, the paper analyses the linkage between actors from the education and employment systems in VET in preventing unfavourable youth labour market ...Working Paper -
