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 -

The Social Status of Vocational Education and Training in Switzerland
(2018)KOF StudiesThe Swiss vocational education and training (VET) system is held in high regard by other countries. Young skilled workers from Switzerland consistently secure top marks at world skills competitions. But how has the social status of VET developed relative to that of baccalaureate schools? What changes can be ascertained in the various parts of the country and population groups? We have been able to answer these and other questions thanks ...Report -
KOF Prognose der Gesundheitsausgaben Frühjahr 2018
(2018)KOF StudiesDas Bundesamt für Statistik (BFS) hat im April 2018 provisorische Zahlen zu den Gesundheitsausgaben für das Jahr 2016 publiziert. Die gesamten Gesundheitsausgaben des Jahres 2016 betrugen demnach 80'709 Mio. Fr. Daraus ergibt sich eine Wachstumsrate der Gesundheitsausgaben von 3.8%; somit war der Anstieg etwas weniger stark als im Vorjahr (4.1%). Da das Bruttoinlandprodukt deutlich langsamer wuchs, erhöhte sich das Verhältnis zum BIP ...Report -
Der Wintersturm Burglind/Eleanor in der Schweiz
