Recent empirical studies have found that travellers route choices deviate from perfect rationality, showing that urban trips do not necessary follow the shortest-time routes. However, there is no consent on how much the travellers' route choice behaviour deviates from the perfect rational assumption. The objective of this study is to contribute to ...

The main goal of this dissertation is to answer one of the critical questions about dynamic ride-sharing services: Can dynamic ride-sharing reduce congestion? In this thesis, we propose a simulation-based optimization framework for dynamic ridesharing. Then using this framework, we assess the dynamic ride-sharing impact on two different network sca...

This work focuses on the estimation ofMacroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) and trip lengths for the city scale network using mobile phone data for the city of Dallas. The data used in the present work has different sampling intervals and in order to have an accurate estimation of travelled distance, a trip enhancement method is proposed based on m...
In recent years, several perimeter control strategies have been proposed for traffic management in cities. The common factor found in these works is the use of Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) models to describe the dynamics of the network and optimize traffic inside the perimeter by manipulating perimeter inflows. Perimeter gating control str...
Data-driven surveys show that drivers do not always choose the shortest-path for their travels. The ideas of bounded rationality have been used to model this behavior, and relax the main assumption of travel time minimization of the User Equilibrium principle. In this paper, we propose an extension of an existing dynamic traffic assignment framewor...
The present work proposes a global framework to estimate all MFD model parameters using mobile phone data. The three major components that are estimated in the present context are MFD shapes, regional trip lengths and path flow distribution. A trip enrichment scheme based on the map matching process is proposed for the trips that have sparser recor...
