  • Bus network structure and mobility pattern: a monocentric analytical approach on a grid street layout 

    Badia Rodríguez, Hugo; Estrada Romeu, Miguel Ángel; Robusté Antón, Francesc (2016-11)
    Article
    Open Access
    This 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 ...
  • Bus control strategies in corridors with signalized intersections 

    Estrada Romeu, Miguel Ángel; Mension, Josep; Aymamí, Josep M; Torres, Laura (2016-10)
    Article
    Open Access
    This 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 ...
  • Large-scale microscopic simulation of taxi services: Berlin and Barcelona case studies 

    Maciejewski, Michal; Salanova Grau, Josep Maria; Bischoff, Joschka; Estrada Romeu, Miguel Ángel (Springer, 2016-06-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    The paper presents research on large-scale microscopic simulation of taxi services in Berlin and Barcelona based on floating car data collected by local taxi fleets. Firstly, Berlin's and Barcelona's taxi markets are shortly ...
  • Ocean–atmosphere–wave characterisation of a wind jet (Ebro shelf, NW Mediterranean Sea) 

    Grifoll Colls, Manel; Navarro, Jorge; Pallarès López, Elena; Ràfols Bundó, Laura; Espino Infantes, Manuel; Palomares, Ana (University of Thechnology and Agriculture Nicholas Copernicus University, 2016-05)
    Article
    Open Access
    In this contribution the wind jet dynamics in the northern margin of the Ebro River shelf (NW Mediterranean Sea) are investigated using coupled numerical models. The study area is characterised by persistent and energetic ...
  • Estimación del valor de la información del tiempo de viaje en autopista 

    Soriguera Martí, Francesc (2016-03)
    Article
    Open Access
    De un tiempo a esta parte, un objetivo común de muchos gestores de tráfico es proporcionar información del tiempo de viaje previsto en las infraestructuras que gestionan. Estos esfuerzos responden al hecho que el tiempo ...
  • La investigación y la formación en ingeniería del transporte en España 

    Robusté Antón, Francesc (2015-06)
    Article
    Open Access
    Este artículo plasma una “foto” de la docencia e investigación científica actual sobre ingeniería del transporte en España. Tanto la formación a nivel universitario como la investigación en transporte han alcanzado estándares ...
  • Agent based modeling for simulation of taxi services 

    Salanova Grau, Josep Maria; Estrada Romeu, Miguel Ángel; Mitsakis, Evangelos; Stamos, Iraklis (2013-12)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This 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 ...
  • Nuevos datos de tráfico en autopista con límites de velocidad variable 

    Soriguera Martí, Francesc; Sala Sanmartí, Marcel; Martínez Josemaria, Irene (2015-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    Este artículo presenta el experimento con Límites de Velocidad Variable (DSL) que se realizó en Junio de 2013 en la autopista B-23 de acceso a Barcelona. El sistema DSL instalado en esta autopista, así como la alta densidad ...
  • Parking slot assignment for urban distribution: models and formulations 

    Roca Riu, Mireia; Fernández Aréizaga, Elena; Estrada Romeu, Miguel Ángel (2015-05-07)
    Article
    Open Access
    A key element to enhance urban distribution is the adequate management of parking space, particularly for loading and unloading operations. An in-advance booking system able to be adjusted to users needs can be a very ...
  • Stopover and hub-and-spoke shipment strategies in less-than-truckload carriers 

    Estrada Romeu, Miguel Ángel; Robusté Antón, Francesc (2015-04)
    Article
    Open Access
    This paper presents a methodology to identify when freight consolidation strategies are cost-efficient in the less-than-truckload carriers operations. Shipments are assigned based on proximity and cost criteria to build ...
  • On-street illegal parking costs in urban areas 

    Morillo Carbonell, Carlos; Campos Cacheda, Jose Magin (2014-12)
    Article
    Open Access
    Private transport represents more than a third of all the journeys carried out in large cities urban areas. The high amount of traffic in metropolitan zones implies the appearance of congestion that is one of the most ...
