A mesoscopic traffic simulation based dynamic traffic assignment 

    Linares Herreros, Mª Paz (Date of defense: 2014-04-24)

    In terms of sustainability, traffic is currently a significant challenge for urban areas, where the pollution, congestion and accidents are negative externalities which have strongly impacted the health and economy of ...

    Combination of vehicle routing models and dynamic traffic simulation for city logistics applications 

    Grzybwska, Hanna (Date of defense: 2012-06-08)

    The urban network is a highly dynamic system. Thus, a modern and efficient fleet management in urban areas should account for dynamics of traffic conditions, variability in travel times, changes in demand and fleet ...

    Conjoint design of railway lines and frequency setting under semi-congested scenarios 

    López Ramos, Francisco (Date of defense: 2014-02-24)

    This thesis develops mathematical programming models which integrate network design (ND) and line frequency setting (LFS) phases. These appear in transport planning studies that extend an existing urban public transportation ...
