20140318 Prof. dr. ir. Ansar Yasar

Currently, Prof. dr. ir. Ansar Yasar from University of Hasselt (IMOB) is visiting us, who does research in the area of Intelligent Transportation Systems. He will hold a short talk tomorrow (Tuesday) at 11 am in Consilium (TEL 1315) about the activities in his institute (Transportation Behaviour Analysis, Policy Evaluation, Video Analysis, amongst others). If you are interested, we will be happy if you join us.

IMOB

• safety.
• mobility managment
  • mobility behaviour
• logistics

The FEATHERS model

• transport model: activity based model
  • activities during a day: sleep, shop.
  • infinite combi
  • sequential
  • far beyond trip based transport model: –> very detailed data.
• Output:
  • analysis of tours and trips.
  • traffic assignment: vehicle flows, volume to network capacity.
    • gps data! –> activities, mining.
    • work activities relate to traffic peaks of the day.
      • details to find out what kind of work, vehicle cause this problem.
      • reduce impact of the problem: tax, public transport planning: bus capacity, frequency.
  • Analysis of activities
    • type: work, tourism, remote commute to work, univesity.
    • localtion
    • duration
    • time of day.
  • Detailed mobility pattern of people:
    • installament of infrastructure.
• AGENT based model is newer.
  • drawback: lack of communication, preferences.
  • profile similarity: regions where there are preferences to Car2Go.

• publication* feather implementation: gathering data from users.

Traffic safety

SignSIM: traffic sign simulation.

• Where to place the signs: safety, advertisement.
• Approache
  • analyse signing plan, concept
  • simulation

    • test scenarios.
    • new road: 3D
    • old road: 3D video integration.
    • produceing visual material: camera mounted on cars. Tracking, matching.
    • Driving behaviour, eyes tracking.
    • Put signs on the road than on the side.
