Evolutionary modeling of large-scale public transport networks
(2018)2018 TRB Annual Meeting OnlineA genetic algorithm to design efficient large-scale public transport networks is extended. It goes beyond existing approaches by incorporating a dynamic demand response towards both changes in the network and external disruptions. The algorithm is based on an agent-based (MATSim) simulation and tested for the city of Zurich. Compared to the existing public transport system, it proposes a sparser network with substantially higher frequencies. ...Conference Paper -

The MFD and the built environment
(2017)Travel behavior in urban areas has been widely analyzed from the demand side, while the extent to which the infrastructure imposes constraints on such travel behavior and leads to delays and congestion has almost never been studied. For car-based transportation, the recently developed theory of the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) describes the relationship between the accumulation of vehicles and their trip ending rate as a function ...Conference Paper -
Mobility tools and use
(2017)In much of Switzerland, public transport offers high levels of accessibility to workplaces and other places that make season tickets legitimate substitutes for a car. These similar patterns of accessibility provided by both modes result in high levels of correlation between the accessibility measures of both modes. This correlation almost always precludes a travel behavior analysis with several accessibility measures and cannot provide ...Conference Paper -
Identifying the relationship between parents' and child's car attitudes
(2017)Most research on individual car ownership decision have always asked an individual about their attitudes and norms. Mostly those questions are focused on perceived expectation of others instead of asking the significant others whether they do influence the individual him/herself. In this research, we explore whether the significant others, in this case, parents, influence the decision of students to buy a car or not. We collect data by ...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
