Urbanisme orienté différence (DiffUrb)
Les villes se caractérisent par une diversité de personnes et d’utilisations. Ce constat est particulièrement frappant dans la pratique de l’urbanisme. L’approche des différences conditions de vie et des utilisations spatiales et temporelles repose souvent sur une analyse ne tenant compte que d’une seule caractéristique comme les revenus, Plus
Difference in Urban Planning. Interdisciplinarity as an Approach to Understanding the Complexity of Contemporary Urban Societies
Cities attract people of diverse origins, religious practices, socioeconomic status, and everyday practices. As a result, urban planning is challenged to respond adequately to this demographic heterogeneity. These urbanization processes highlight the importance of placing difference at the centre of the urban planning agenda.
Understanding Modal Splits Before, During, and After the Pandemic
The adjustments of mobility patterns during early stages of the pandemic are well understood. However, various effects are intertwined in these observations and therefore the findings’ robustness remains questionable. The MOBIS-Covid data set provides a unique opportunity to put these initial findings in perspective as a large panel Plus

Application of Machine Learning Classifiers in Train Route Scheduling
How much are common machine learning classifiers, such as Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) better in forecasting than traditional discrete choice models? To which extent is it worth to sacrifice the improved interpretability of the latter to achieve a higher prediction Plus

Verkehrs-Pricing im Feldversuch
Verkehrsteilnehmende verändern ihr Verhalten, wenn sie für Kosten ihrer Mobilität aufkommen müssen, die bisher die Allgemeinheit bezahlt. Das zeigt das bisher grösste Pricing-Experiment im Schweizer Agglomerationsverkehr von Forschenden der Universität Basel, der ETH Zürich und der ZHAW. Artikel in den ETH News lesen
A GIS-based Model of Outdoor Thermal Comfort: Case Study for Zurich
How far will you walk when it gets hot? The global climate is warming at a rapid pace, and cities around the globe are confronted with increasing temperatures. In this work, we study how the future climate will affect urban walkability in Zurich by modeling the thermoregulatory functions Plus
Urban Design and the Technological Shift in Transportation
In recent years technological innovations in transportation, such as automated vehicles (AVs), mobility-as-a-service, electric and connected vehicles, have been garnering attention. Some advocates liken the emergence of these technologies to a ‘revolution’ in transportation, while critics characterise this as a gross exaggeration. Despite the uncertainties in technological development, Plus

COVID-19 and the Dilemma of Transport Policy Making
This short paper sets out the basic dilemma of transport policy making today, as how to strike the balance between the benefits of accessibility and the induced externalities in terms of sprawl, greenhouse gas emissions and congestion. The impacts of the Corona19 pandemic sharpens the dilemma.
Influence de variables externes au transport sur le choix du moyen de transport (SVI 2015/007)
Les effets sur le choix du moyen de transport des variables externes au transport – à savoir également les propriétés non directement mesurables, qualitatives et émotionnelles cognitives des foyers et des individus – n’ont jusqu’à présent pratiquement pas été pris en compte en planification et politique des transports.
