Calibration of Multi-region MFD Models using Mobile Phone Data
The present work proposes a framework to calibrate MFD models using mobile phone data. The three major components to calibrate in the present context include MFD shape, regional trip lengths and path flow distribution. Time dependent penetration rates are estimated by fusing the OD matrix and the Loop Detector Data (LDD). The estimated MFDs are sta...
Calibrating models for MPC of energy systems in buildings using an adjoint-based sensitivity method
For several years, Model Predictive Control (MPC) is depicted in the literature as a promising way to increase buildings' energy efficiency during operation. This model-based control technique uses the optimal control theory to provide a constraint compliant, anticipative control, maximizing performance criteria. However, building and calibrating a...

The reference point in dynamic Prospect-based User Equilibrium: a simulation study
In this paper, we revisit the concept of Prospect-basedUser Equilibrium in a dynamic context. We consider a mesoscopic Lighthill-Whitham-Richards(LWR) traffic model to determine time-dependent route costs. We propose a solution algorithm to determine the network equilibria. Monte Carlo simulations are used to account for the travel time distributio...

Modeling the response of soil moisture to climate variability in the Mediterranean region
Future climate scenarios for the Mediterranean region indicate a possible decrease in annual precipitation associated with an intensification of extreme rainfall events in the coming years. A major challenge in this region is to evaluate the impacts of changing precipitation patterns on extreme hydrological events such as droughts and floods. For t...
Improving antenna gain estimations in non-ideal test sites with auto-tunable filters
Estimating the gain of an antenna prototype is an important step during both design and validation phases. Nevertheless, many small technology companies and universities are not provided with adequate infrastructure to run this type of test. In this paper, we propose a computational tool to deal with undesirable contributions coming from non-ideal ...
Module de rigidité des enrobés : quels facteurs d'influence?
Au sein de l'Idrrim, le groupe spécialisé EAPIC (Essais d'aptitude par intercomparaison) organise des essais d'aptitude par comparaison interlaboratoires dans le domaine routier. La série 8.2.17, réalisée en 2017-2018 sur le module des enrobés, a fourni des données en grand nombre sur de nombreux paramètres pouvant influer sur les résultats d'essai...
