An improved replanning strategy for congested traffic conditions in MATSim
(2020)Procedia Computer ScienceAgent-based transport models such as MATSim have been developed and used for the past few decades to simulate transportation systems in different cities and are capable of accurately reproducing travel patterns at different levels of aggregation. Given their disaggregate representation of both travel demand and supply as well as the high level of spatial and temporal detail, agent-based transport models also have the potential to allow ...Conference Paper -
Sizing a fleet of automated taxis: A demand-responsive case study for Zurich
(2018)Automated vehicle technology has reached a point where fleet services can be expected to be opened to the public in just a few years. Companies like nuTonomy and Navya are already running trials in cities around the world including Switzerland and show that their vehicles can cope with the complex situations that arise in everyday traffic.Conference Paper -
Dynamic demand estimation for an AMoD system in Paris
(2019)2019 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)A simulation framework is presented that equilibrates a given automated taxi fleet with (a) consistent prices to provide the service and (b) customer behaviour that reacts to costs and level of service alike. In a first attempt, a hypothetical AMoD service within the highway ring of Paris is considered. The “dynamic demand” case yields a demand of around 1.2M trips per day for such a service at the optimal fleet size of 25k vehicles. This ...Conference Paper -
Pairing discrete mode choice models and agent-based transport simulation with MATSim
(2019)2019 TRB Annual Meeting OnlineAs travellers are faced with an increasing portfolio of transportation options, researchers are similarly faced with increasing complexity of modelling efforts to study people’s choices and behaviour. While discrete-choice models and in particular mode-choice models are widely used to study how people react to specific changes in the system, little published research exist that analyses the possibilities and pitfalls of pairing mode-choice ...Conference Paper -
