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)

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

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...

Bus bunching along a corridor served by two lines (2016)
Journal Article

Headway fluctuations and “bus bunching” are well known phenomena on many bus routes where an initial delay to one service can disturb the whole schedule due to resulting differences in dwell times of subsequent buses at stops. This paper deals with t... Read More about Bus bunching along a corridor served by two lines.

A mixed logit model for predicting exit choice during building evacuations (2016)
Journal Article

Knowledge on human behaviour in emergency is crucial to increase the safety of buildings and transportation systems. Decision making during evacuations implies different choices, of which one of the most important concerns the escape route. The choic...

From transit systems to models: data representation and collection. (2016)
Book Chapter

Noekel (Eds.), Modelling Public Transport Passenger Flows in the Era of Intelligent Transport Systems (235-284). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-25082-3_5

This chapter deals with the data that form input and output of passenger route choice models. All information about supply and demand that is relevant to passenger route choice must be captured in a formal way in order to be accessible to mathematica...

Decision principles for routing strategies: games against nature and demons. (2015)
Journal Article
Schmoecker, J.-D., & Fonzone, A. (2015). Decision principles for routing strategies: games against nature and demons. Asian transport studies, 3(4), 362-377. https://doi.org/10.11175/eastsats.3.362

In this paper we firstly review general decision principles under uncertainty and apply them to route choice decisions. Risk-averse behaviour leads to the description of route choice a game. The difference between games against demons and nature are... Read More about Decision principles for routing strategies: games against nature and demons..

Illegal pedestrian crossing at signalised junctions in urban areas: the impact of spatial factors. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Much has still to be done to increase pedestrian safety. Illegal crossing at signalised junctions may increase the risk of accidents at the intersections where it takes place and induce dangerous habits. Therefore efforts to prevent such a harmful be...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fonzone, A., Schmöcker, J.-D., & Liu, R. (2015, August). A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns. Presented at 21st International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory, Kobe, Japan

If bus service departure times are not completely unknown to the passengers, non-uniform passenger arrival patterns can be expected. We propose that passengers decide their arrival time at stops based on a continuous logit model that considers the ri...
