Transport and Mobility Laboratory

Directed by Michel Bierlaire, the Transport and Mobility Laboratory is active in modeling, optimization and simulation of transportation systems, with a specific emphasis on the mobility of individuals.

This webpage contains the academic output of the laboratory. We are committed to open science. Links to the specific documents are available. Also, if you click on the bibtex button next to a reference, it gives you access to the reference in bibtex format, that you can copy and paste to your bibliography file.
