Objetivo As cities grow rapidly and more people through different modes compete for limited urban road infrastructure to travel, it is important to manage traffic space to improve accessibility for travelers. This project tackles the problem of modeling and optimization in large-scale congested traffic networks with an aggregated realistic representation of dynamics and route choice and multiple modes of transport. This is a highly motivating problem both because of the socio-economic influence of congestion and the challenges embedded in the optimization framework and the modeling aspects. Currently most optimization methods for transport networks (i) are suited for toy networks with simplified dynamics that are far from real-sized networks, (ii) apply decentralized control, which is not appropriate for heterogeneously loaded networks, (iii) investigate engineering solutions through micro-simulation models and scenario analysis that make the problem intractable in real time, (iv) are not considering interactions and conflicts between transport modes (car, bus, delivery vehicle). This problem is even more challenging if one considers that transportation networks have a hierarchical structure with freeways and urban roads with mixed or separated traffic (e.g. bus-only lanes), that have dissimilar traffic flow dynamics. Lack of coordination among the jurisdictions during traffic operations or limited means of traffic data monitoring and communication can impede such mixed traffic network ideal goal. Traditionally, choices of people in transportation networks are based on equilibrium conditions with small variations.The huge amount of datasets (including thousands of GPS data from taxis, cars and buses and road detector data from heavily populated cities worldwide) can provide a unique way to understand how really people make choices, how these choices affect the development and spreading of congestion in networks and integrate them in the macroscopic dynamics and optimization Programa(s) FP7-IDEAS-ERC - Specific programme: "Ideas" implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) Tema(s) ERC-SG-SH3 - ERC Starting Grant - Environment and society Convocatoria de propuestas ERC-2013-StG Consulte otros proyectos de esta convocatoria Régimen de financiación ERC-SG - ERC Starting Grant Institución de acogida ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FEDERALE DE LAUSANNE Aportación de la UE € 1 242 162,00 Dirección BATIMENT CE 3316 STATION 1 1015 Lausanne Suiza Ver en el mapa Región Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera Région lémanique Vaud Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Investigador principal Nikolaos Geroliminis (Mr.) Contacto administrativo Caroline Vandevyver (Dr.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos Beneficiarios (1) Ordenar alfabéticamente Ordenar por aportación de la UE Ampliar todo Contraer todo ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FEDERALE DE LAUSANNE Suiza Aportación de la UE € 1 242 162,00 Dirección BATIMENT CE 3316 STATION 1 1015 Lausanne Ver en el mapa Región Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera Région lémanique Vaud Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Investigador principal Nikolaos Geroliminis (Mr.) Contacto administrativo Caroline Vandevyver (Dr.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos
