In this work we present an analysis process that exploits mobile phone transaction (trajectory) data to infer a transport demand model for the territory under monitoring. In particular, long-term analysis of individual call traces are performed to reconstruct systematic movements, and to infer an origin-destination matrix. We will show a case study on Ivory Coast, with emphasis on its major urb...

1. Introduction Intermodalism has been increasing both in the world and Turkey due to the demand and supply side developments in transport industry. Turkey has great potential in terms of intermodal transportation owing to its privileged geographical position amid European, Central Asia and Middle Eastern countries. The trend in development patterns in the Mediterrenean, the Black Sea, The CIS ...

Demand Responsive Shared Transport (DRST) services take advantage of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), to provide “on demand” transport services booking in real time a ride on a shared vehicle. In this paper, an agent-based model (ABM) is presented to test different the feasibility of different service configurations in a real context. First results show the impact of route choi...

Demand-Responsive Transport Services (DRTS) are an attempt to improve the efficiency of public transport when demand is sporadic. The DRT service simulator that we have developed analyses most of the random events, such as traffic congestion and the arrival time of passengers at their pickup points, which ultimately affect the quality of the service. We assume that vehicles are moving within th...

Demand responsive transport allows customers to be carried to their destination as with a taxi service, provided that the customers are grouped in the same vehicles in order to reduce operational costs. This kind of service is related to the dial-a-ride problem. However, in order to improve the quality of service, demand responsive transport needs more flexibility. This paper tries to address t...

The paper analyses the link between human capital and regional economic growth in the European Union. Using different indicat The importance of effective and efficient mobility in large cities is becoming essential for planners and citizens due to its impact in terms of social, economic and geographic development. The aim of this research is to determine factors explaining urban transport syste...

Oxygen transport from capillaries to exercising skeletal muscle is studied by use of a Krogh-type cylinder model. The goal is to predict oxygen consumption under conditions of high demand, on the basis of a consideration of transport processes occurring at the microvascular level. Effects of the decline in oxygen content of blood flowing along capillaries, intravascular resistance to oxygen dif...

We consider the problem of demand estimation for public transport networks. Given an origin-destination matrix representing demand, distribution flow among different lines can be obtained assuming that it corresponds to a certain equilibrium characterized by optimization problem. The knowledge is expensive and sometimes unaffordable in practice. Traditionally, estimated using statistical or eco...
