Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und Raumplanung, 1270. Zurich: IVT, ETH Zurich. Mehr For the city of Zurich a fleet of autonomous taxis is simulated and controlled by different dispatching and rebalancing algorithms. The operation scheme with rebalancing is able to minimize waiting times of the service. Although a considerable amount of empty Mehr

Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und Raumplanung, 1225. Zurich: IVT, ETH Zurich.  PDF Diese Publikation ist ein erster Versuch, die Kostenstrukturen etablierter und künftiger, auf autonomen Fahrzeugen basierenden Mobilitätsangeboten zu ermitteln, um so auf ihre jeweilige Rolle zu schliessen. Teils entgegen mancher Voraussagen lässt sich weiterhin ein substantieller Anteil an privatem Mehr

Paper to be presented at the 23rd EIRASS conference on Recent Advances in Retailing and Service Strategies, Edinburgh, July 2016. More The paper aims at explaining the choice between online and in-store shopping, applying an integrated choice and latent variable modeling approach. An increased acceptance level of online shopping Mehr

Paper to be presented at the 95th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board, Washington, D.C., January 2016. Mehr If Autonomous Vehicles (AV) are used predominantly as shared vehicles, they promise a reduction of the required total fleet size. Using a simulation approach, this paper shows that – given certain Mehr

Schlussbericht an SBB Lab, St. Gallen. Bern und Zürich: IVT, ETH Zürich und Ecoplan.  Mehr Mit dieser Studie wurden zum ersten Mal für die Schweiz die Agglomerationseffekte (wider economic benefits) quantifiziert und räumlich analysiert. Eine Verbesserung der ÖV-Erreichbarkeit um 100 Prozent führt zu einer Produktivitätssteigerung von durchschnittlich 1 bis Mehr

Ashgate, Surray (UK).  Mehr Leisure travel is increasing in importance and is more complex and variable than work-related travel. Providing an overview of selected exemplary studies, this volume addresses the overlap between transport planning and methods of social network analysis; applied methods of social network analysis and related Mehr

In: Journal of Transport and Land Use.  Mehr Transport and urban planners increasingly deploy shape grammars especially in simulations and procedural models. The paper sheds light on the terminology and bridges the gap to the natural language context. An approach is suggested for standardized shape grammars definitions and Mehr

Paper presented at the World Symposium on Transport and Land Use Research (WSTLUR), Delft. June 2014.  Mehr The urban morphology forms the backbone of our settlements. Its quantitative description allows to compare urban layouts and to uncover their potentials and limitations. In this paper we propose a set Mehr

Paper presented at the 93rd Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board, Washington, D.C., January 2014.  PDF Despite all mitigation efforts, climate change will impact transport systems. Based on evidence from previous literature, a new comprehensive classification of the transport system aspects affected by climate change is proposed. It’s Mehr

Schlussbericht an das BABS, Bern. Zürich: IVT, ETH Zürich.  PDF Mittels eines agenten-basierten Simulationsmodells wurden die zu erwartenden Evakuationszeiten im Falle einer grossräumigen Evakuierung in Abhängigkeit verschiedener Faktoren wie Uhrzeit, Strassenverhältnissen und Grösse des evakuierten Gebietes bestimmt. Grundlage der Verhaltensmodellierung bildeten eine ausführliche Literaturrecherche, Experteninterviews sowie eine Befragung der Schweizer Mehr

PNAS. Mehr With the help of travel smart card data, we uncover daily face-to-face encounter mechanisms and structures by constructing a time-resolved in-vehicle social encounter network on public buses. We find individuals with repeated encounters are not grouped into small communities. A large, imperceptible, small-world contact network is Mehr

Paper presented at the 13th Swiss Transport Research Conference, Ascona, April 2013.  Mehr In this paper, we present a framework of a decision support system designed to analyse information provided by agent-based transport demand models, travel diary surveys and automatically collected data on transport infrastructure usage. The practical Mehr

In: disP, 48 (3) S.40-53.  Mehr Respondents to a stated adaptation survey were faced with scenarios in which their travel conditions were changed, and asked how the implied changes would affect their activity scheduling. The data was used to estimate models of adaptations, which yielded sparse reactions despite Mehr
