Competition in multi-modal transport networks: A dynamic approach

A Dynamic Multi-modal Transport Simulation Model

This paper discusses the development of a dynamic multi-modal transport simulation model. Conventionally, multi-modal transportation system analysis is only carried out in a static framework and dynamic framework is limited to the single mode i.e. road traffic. The decision making process of an individual regarding use of transport system involves mainly three types of decisions namely, departu...

Multi - modal Route Planning with Dynamic Public Transport Delays

Dynamic clustering of multi-modal sensor networks in urban scenarios

The paper addresses the issue of self-adaptation of a multi-modal sensor network with mobile sensors to better observe and track events of interest in a changing urban scenario by presenting a software module (middleware) called Event-driven Network Controller (ENC) that resides at every sensor node in the network and is independent of the sensor type. ENC translates the requirements of the app...

INNOVATIVE TRANSPORT PRICING: DERIVING THE OPTIMAL PRICING SCHEME A Multi-Objective Multi-Modal Dynamic Network Perspective

In this paper we aim to provide a framework for finding optimal pricing strategies for multiple stakeholders, taking a multitude of externalities (congestion, safely, emissions, etc.) into account, and both private and public modes. Stakeholder preferences and interactions, a phase-wise implementation and the application to the Randstad area are explicitly considered.

Toll Competition in Transport Networks

Road pricing has received increasing attention over the past decades, both in the academic literature and in transport policy circles. Undoubtedly, this is motivated on the one hand by the increasing need for pricing as an effective instrument to curb growing transport-related problems such as congestion and emissions, and on the other by technical advances that make the implementation of road ...
