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 -

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 -
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 -

It also discusses the requirements for the structure of reports and the design of tables, figures and overhead slides.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 -
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 -
Measuring the travel behaviour impact of free-floating car-sharing
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungFree-floating car-sharing schemes operate without fixed car-sharing stations, ahead reservations or return-trip requirements. Providing fast and convenient motorization, they attract both public transport users and (former) car-owners. Thus, its impact on individual travel behavior depends on the user type. Estimating the travel behavior impact of these novel systems therefore requires quantitative data. Using a two-wave survey approach ...Working Paper -
Entwicklung konsistenter Szenarien für die Einführung autonomer Fahrzeuge
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungDie unmittelbaren Vorteile der Einführung vollautonomer Fahrzeuge sind bereits heute sehr gut absehbar. So werden lange Reisen und Pendeln angenehmer und die Sicherheit auf Schweizerischen Strassen wird nicht mehr durch menschliches Versagen beeinträchtigt. Zudem wird der Führerschein keine Voraussetzung mehr für individuelle, günstige und komfortable Transportangebote darstellen. Nichtsdestotrotz bestehen erhebliche Unsicherheiten über ...Working Paper -
