Simulating the actions of commuters using a multi-agent system (2019)
Journal Article
Urquhart, N., Powers, S., Wall, Z., Fonzone, A., Ge, J., & Polhill, G. (2019). Simulating the actions of commuters using a multi-agent system. Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 22(2), https://doi.org/10.18564/jasss.4007

The activity of commuting to and from a place of work affects not only those travelling but also wider society through their contribution to congestion and pollution. It is desirable to have a means of simulating commuting in order to allow organisat... Read More about Simulating the actions of commuters using a multi-agent system.

Influences on urban freight transport policy choice by local authorities (2019)
Journal Article
Akgün, E. Z., Monios, J., Rye, T., & Fonzone, A. (2019). Influences on urban freight transport policy choice by local authorities. Transport Policy, 75, 88-98. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.2019.01.009

Individual freight transport policies have been investigated in the literature extensively in the last 10–15 years, yet there has surprisingly been very little attention to the process of selecting urban freight transport (UFT) policy measures. This... Read More about Influences on urban freight transport policy choice by local authorities.

Recovery time and propagation effects of passenger transport disruptions (2018)
Journal Article
Malandri, C., Malandria, C., Fonzone, A., & Cats, O. (2018). Recovery time and propagation effects of passenger transport disruptions. Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 505, 7-17. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physa.2018.03.028

We propose a method to evaluate public transport network vulnerability. We study the evolution of the passenger Volume Over Capacity (VOC) ratio throughout the network to measure the spatial and temporal extent of the impacts caused by an unplanned s...

Evolving solution choice and decision support for a real-world optimisation problem (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N., & Fonzone, A. (2017, July). Evolving solution choice and decision support for a real-world optimisation problem. Presented at Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference on - GECCO '17, Berlin, Germany

Agencies who provide social care services typically have to optimise staff allocations and the travel whilst attempting to satisfy conflicting objectives. In such cases it is desirable to have a range of solutions to choose from, allowing the agenc... Read More about Evolving solution choice and decision support for a real-world optimisation problem.

Better for everyone: an approach to multimodal network design considering equity. (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Camporeale, R., Caggiani, L., Fonzone, A., & Ottomanelli, M. (2016, June). Better for everyone: an approach to multimodal network design considering equity. Presented at International Scientific Conference on Mobility and Transport, Munich, Germany

We propose a formulation of the Network Design Problem (NDP) to support transport planners in dealing with multimodal networks in contexts characterised by different (and sometimes conflicting) interests and limited resources in a transparent way. We... Read More about Better for everyone: an approach to multimodal network design considering equity..

Quantifying the impacts of horizontal and vertical equity in transit route planning. (2016)
Journal Article
Camporeale, R., Caggiani, L., Fonzone, A., & Ottomanelli, M. (2017). Quantifying the impacts of horizontal and vertical equity in transit route planning. Transportation Planning and Technology, 40(1), 28-44. https://doi.org/10.1080/03081060.2016.1238569

Equity refers to a fair sharing of costs or resources. Horizontal equity concerns distribution among individuals or groups with the same necessities, whereas vertical equity should be considered in situations with different levels of needs. This pape...

Capturing the conditions that introduce systematic variation in bike-sharing travel behavior using data mining techniques (2016)
Journal Article
Bordagaray, M., dell’Olio, L., Fonzone, A., & Ibeas, Á. (2016). Capturing the conditions that introduce systematic variation in bike-sharing travel behavior using data mining techniques. Transportation Research Part C : Emerging Technologies, 71, 231-248. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trc.2016.07.009

The potential of smart-card transactions within bike-sharing systems (BSS) is still to be explored. This research proposes an original offline data mining procedure that takes advantage of the quality of these data to analyze the bike usage casuistry...
