Ex-post analyses of social and economic spatial effects due to changes in transport supply
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThis systematic literature review covers quantitative ex-post analyses of social and economic spatial effects due to changes in transport supply, published within the last decade. Ex-post analyses observe what happened and allow us to understand fundamental principles, to learn for the future, and to use correct values in ex-ante studies, appraisals etc. The focus is on techniques that deal with three tasks: quantification, isolation and ...Working Paper -

Deciphering a (partial) market
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungOff-street residential parking market can be viewed as a case where the market-clearing price is the result of a set of characteristics, some of which have been the result of different policies. However, modelling of the pricing mechanism that governs such partial markets has received very low attention in the literature, mainly due to their unregulated nature. The current study aims to fill in that gap by employing a spatial hedonic ...Working Paper -
Analyse und Modellierung des Mobility-Pilotprojekts zu free-floating Car-Sharing
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungIm August 2014 hat Mobility in Basel ein Pilotprojekt zu free-floating Car-Sharing unter dem Namen Catch a Car lanciert. In einer wissenschaftlichen Begleitstudie wurden die Auswirkungen von free-floating Carsharing auf das Verkehrssystem untersucht. Die Ergebnisse erlauben einen Einblick in die Kundengruppen, Nutzungsarten und verkehrlichen Wirkungen von Catch a Car.Working Paper -
Empirical macroscopic fundamental diagrams
(2016)The macroscopic fundamental diagram, relating average flows and densities in an urban network, has been analyzed in some empirical studies and many simulations. It has been shown to be an efficient tool for traffic management and control or the estimation of travel times in a network. However, empirical studies remain scarce and are usually based on one single data source, such as loop detector data (LDD) or floating car data (FCD). In ...Working Paper -
Purpose imputation for long-distance tours without personal information
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungAnalysis of long-distance travel demand has become more relevant in recent times. The reason is the growing share of traffic produced by journeys to remote activities, which are not part of daily life. In today?s mobile world, these journeys are responsible for almost 50 percent of overall traffic. Traditionally, surveys have been used to gather data needed for the analysis of travel demand. Due to the high response burden and memory ...Working Paper -
Activity rescheduling within a multi-agent transport simulation framework (MATSim)
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungPeople’s desire or the need to perform certain activities during the day drives their activity- scheduling decisions. However, these decisions are dependent on the state of the transportation system, its supply and demand. The need for the tools able to deal with the kind of adaptations to the daily plans that come with these decisions, is ever growing. The introduction of new modes and services and the fast approaching era of autonomous ...Working Paper -

Simulation of autonomous taxis in a multi-modal traffic scenario with dynamic demand
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungGiven the rapid technological advances in developing autonomous vehicles (AV), the key question appears not so much anymore how, but when AVs would be ready to be commercially introduced. Therefore, it is very timely to explore how the new way of travelling will shape the traffic environment in the future. Questions regarding the environmental impact, changes in infrastructure and policy measures are widely discussed. Most likely, the ...Working Paper -
Empirics of multimodal traffic networks - Using the 3D macroscopic fundamental diagram
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungTraffic is multimodal in most cities. However, the impacts of different transport modes on traffic performance and on each other, are unclear – especially at the network level. The recent extension of the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) to the 3D-MFD, offers a novel framework to address this gap at the urban scale. The 3D-MFD relates the network density of cars and public transport vehicles to the network flow, for either vehicles ...Working Paper
