Hurtubia R., Bierlaire M. (2014). Estimation of bid functions for location choice and price modeling with a latent variable approach. Networks and Spatial Economics 14 (1):47-65

A new approach for the estimation of bid-rent functions for residential location choice is proposed. The method is based on the bid-auction approach and considers that the expected maximum bid of the auction is a latent variable that can be related to observed price indicators through a measurement equation. The method has the advantage of allowing for the estimation of the parameters of the bid function that explain the heterogeneous preferences of households for location while simultaneously adjusting the expected maximum bid to reproduce realistic values. The model is applied and validated for a case study on the city of Brussels. Results show that the proposed model outperforms other methods for bid-rent estimation, both in terms of real estate prices and spatial distribution of agents, especially when detailed data describing the real estate goods and their prices is not available.

Bierlaire M., Hurtubia R., Flötteröd G. (2010). An analysis of the implicit choice set generation using the Constrained Multinomial Logit model. Transportation Research Record 2175 :92-97

Discrete choice models are defined conditional to the analyst's knowledge of the actual choice set. The common practice for many years has been to assume that individual-based choice sets can be deterministically generated on the basis of the choice context and characteristics of the decision maker. This assumption is not valid or not applicable in many situations, and probabilistic choice set formation procedures must be considered. The constrained multinomial logit model (CMNL) has recently been proposed as a convenient way to deal with this issue, as it is also appropriate for models with a large choice set. In this paper, how well the implicit choice set generation of the CMNL approximates the explicit choice set generation is analyzed as described in earlier research. The results based on synthetic data show that the implicit choice set generation model may be a poor approximation of the explicit model.

SustainCity: Micro-simulation for the prospective of sustainable cities in Europe

The goal of this project is to address the modelling and computational issues of integrating modern mobility simulations with the latest micro-simulation land use models. The project intends to advance the state-of-the-art in the field of the micro-simulation of prospective integrated models of Land-Use and Transport (LUTI). On the modelling side, the main challenges are to integrate a demographic evolution module, to add an environmental module, to improve the overall consistency and, last but not least, to deal with the multi-scale aspects of the problem: several time horizons and spatial resolutions are involved.

Generation and Simulation of MATSim plans for Brussels, Sona Hunanyan (Mathematics)

Supervision: Ricardo Hurtubia
The objective of this project is to generate travel plans for a synthetic population for the city of Brussels and simulate their travel behavior with the transport microsimulation software MATSim. The plans will be generated based on available census and travel survey data. The network for Brussels will be provided. The project considers the implementation of a prototype (simplified) model and a sensitivity analysis of the simulation results

2011-2012

Mode choice model for the city of Nice, My Hang Nguyen (Civil Engineering)

Supervision: Ricardo Hurtubia
The goal of this project is to implement a mode choice model for the city of Nice. This model will be used by a public transport operator in order to identify the potentials for increasing market shares for public transport in this area, based on a better understanding of the demand structure between public transport and car. The model will be estimated on data collected from a recent Household Travel Survey which sampled around 6500 households. Information on travel times and costs is available for trips performed by public transport but similar information has to be collected for private transport modes. The model will be implemented and estimated using BIOGEME, an estimation software developed by the Transport and Mobility Laboratory. The project will be conducted in collaboration with Veolia Transport.

Mobility identification from smartphone GPS data, Denis Garcia (Mathematics)

Supervision: Jingmin Chen, Ricardo Hurtubia
We record data from smarpthones over 2 years from about 180 N95 smartphone user. The data includes, GPS, nearby Bluetooth devices, nearby WIFI spots, calendar, etc. This project aims at identifying mobility history (trips and destinations) from raw data. The project will be based on some existing solutions (with existing Java and Python code). And the student will improve or develop a new software to process the data, and generate and visualize the data. You can choose among Python, Java or C++ for the project. The objectives of the project are following (You can choose among them): 1. Identify trips (origin, destination and time) from the GPS data. 2. Detect transportation mode (car, or public transport, etc) from the trips.

Destination choice models for a free bicycle system, Zehra Onen (Mathematics)

Supervision: Ricardo Hurtubia, Thomas Robin
Several cities around the world are implementing �free bicycle systems� that consist of a network of stations were bicycles are available for users to �pay and ride�. Usually these systems allow users to return the bicycle in a different station from the one where it was taken. The project consists in estimating destination choice models that should allow to predict the station where a bicycle will be returned, given the origin, the time of the day, the length (in time) of the trip and the characteristics of the surroundings of each station. The project considers 3 main stages: Data analysis, model estimation (with the software BIOGEME) and model validation.

Un modèle préliminaire d'UrbanSim pour Lausanne, Sarah Droz (Civil Engineering)

Supervision: Ricardo Hurtubia
Depuis longtemps l'importance de l'interaction entre la forme urbaine, les infrastructures de transports et la demande de transport a �t� reconnu. Par contre ce n'est que r�cemment que des m�thodes analytiques tel que des syst�mes de mod�lisation de transport et d'occupation du sol ont �t� d�velopp�es pour pouvoir mieux comprendre ces interactions. UrbanSim est un syst�me de mod�lisation d'occupation du sol qui devient de plus en plus utilis�. L'objectif de ce projet est de monter un mod�le pr�liminaire d'UrbanSim pour la ville de Lausanne.

Modeling the effects of spatio-temporal flexibility in activity scheduling, Laetitia Bettex (Civil Engineering)

Supervision: Ricardo Hurtubia
In travel demand modeling there is an increasing interest in understanding and modeling the planning or scheduling of activities over space and time. This is due to the fact that a better understanding of activity scheduling processes will contribute to the development of activity scheduling models and an understanding of the short (week) dynamics. In the literature, very little is known about the activity scheduling processes and the spatio-temporal flexibility of activities. For an individual, each (work, leisure, shopping) activity in a day can be classified according to its level of flexibility in routine, pre-arrange and spontaneous in the two dimensions, space and time. Based on his spatio-temporal constraints, an individual is making a decision to assign its degree of flexibility. The objective of this research is to investigate how socio-demographics of individual/households, life-stage, ICT access (cell phone/internet), accessibility to services, and activity attributes (time, duration, week day) affect the spatio-temporal flexibility of out-of home activities. The analysis will be done using data from a survey conducted in Qu�bec City from 2002-2006 to estimate activity-choice models.

Modeling the link between transport and land-use with UrbanSim, Peter Goodings (Civil Engineering)

Supervision: Ricardo Hurtubia
Location of activities in the city has an important effect on travel demand and on the transport system�s performance. Land-use models are used to forecast location in the city, in order to help decision-making for urban and transport planning. Because of its flexibility, UrbanSim is an increasingly popular alternative for integrated land-use and transport modeling. However, UrbanSim is not exactly an integrated model but a land-use model that works together with a transportation model. This makes relevant to understand if the interaction between transport and land use is properly modeled by UrbanSim. The objective of this project is to implement the latest stable version of UrbanSim for the city of Brussels, using data that was already collected to implement an older version of the model. The project also considers a deeper analysis on how UrbanSim accounts for the relation between transport and land use.

Estimation of household location choice models , Antonin Danalet (Mathematics)

Supervision: Ricardo Hurtubia
Location of activities in the city has an important effect on travel demand and on the transport system�s performance. Land-use models are used to forecast location in the city, in order to help decision-making for urban and transport planning. To predict the location of agents it�s first necessary to estimate �location choice models� (which are usually a part of the land-use model). These models are estimated through maximum-likelihood methods from observed location data. The aim of the project is to estimate several different household location choice models for the same city, using different specifications for the household�s utility function and testing different methods to deal with �attribute�s thresholds� in the utility. The estimations will be made using Biogeme, databases will be provided.
