Conference report
Open AccessTaxi services account for a significant part of the daily trips in most of cities around the world. Due to the fact that most of the taxi markets are regulated by a central authority there is the need for developing tools ... -
Agent based modeling for simulation of taxi services
(2013-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents an agent based model for simulating taxi services in urban areas. The three operation modes (hailing, stand and dispatching) are modeled and tested in the Sioux Falls network. Taxi models presented in ... -
Agent-based simulation framework for the taxi sector modeling
(Elsevier, 2018)
Conference report
Open AccessTaxi services account for a significant part of the daily trips in most cities around the world. These services are regulated by a central authority, which usually monitors the performance of the taxi services provision ... -
Aggregated modeling of urban taxi services
(2014)
Conference report
Open AccessVarious models have been developed for calculating the variables that characterize the taxi services in urban regions and defining the principal policy measures such as fleet size, fares or available operational modes. ... -
A mathematical approach and review of the modeling of taxi services
(2012)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents a mathematical model for the estimation of the key performance indicators of the taxi markets in urban areas. These key parameters are basically the demand and supply for taxi services, the waiting time ... -
Análisis de estrategias eficientes en la logística de distribución de paquetería
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2007-12-18)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessLa tesis doctoral propone una nueva metodología de optimización del problema de diseño rutas de distribución de muchos orígenes a muchos destinos en paquetería. La optimización minimiza los costes de transporte del sistema ... -
An evaluation of urban consolidation centers through continuous analysis with non-equal market share companies
(2015)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper analyzes the logistic cost savings caused by the implementation of Urban Consolidation Centers (UCC) in a dense area of a city. In these urban terminals, freight flows from interurban carriers are consolidated ... -
Assessment of taxi sector efficiency and profitability based on continuous monitoring and methodology to review fares
(2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe taxi sector presents many challenges to adequately serve the demand while maximising efficiency and profitability and minimising externalities. Many authors have dealt with the ‘taxi industry’ by modelling and forecasting ... -
Assessment of the public transportation supply in a local level
(2011)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis article presents new methodology for assessing the quality provided by urban surface transit systems in terms of comfort, speed and coverage. A set of robust indicators are presented to measure how transit supply ... -
Bus control strategies in corridors with signalized intersections
(2016-10)
Article
Open AccessThis paper proposes a new dynamic bus control strategy aimed at reducing the negative effects of time-headway variations on route performance, based on real-time bus tracking data at stops. In routes with high demand, any ... -
Bus network structure and mobility pattern: a monocentric analytical approach on a grid street layout
(2016-11)
Article
Open AccessThis study discusses which transit network structure is the best option to serve urban mobility. As a consequence of the evolution of urban form, cities have undergone a process of dispersion of their activities that has ... -
Designing new models for energy efficiency in urban freight transport for smart cities and its application to the Spanish case
(Elsevier, 2015)
Conference report
Open AccessConsidering that the transport sector is responsible for 30% of the CO2 emissions in the EU, reaching up to 40% in urban areas, the efforts for technological improvements and innovation in transportation have been increasing ... -

Headway adherence: detection and reduction of the bus bunching effect
(2016)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyWe propose a work on detection and reduction of the bus bunching effect, which appears when two or more buses run one after the other and causes inefficiency, decrease in transport capacity and a loss of service quality. -
