2024

Three days networking opportunities for planners, architects, engineers, but also academics, policy makers, and engaged citizens to discuss the development of the city and its transport system.

A full day of MATSim will be held in conjunction with the 12^th Symposium of the European Association for Research in Transportation (hEART 2024) in Helsinki.

IVT Seminar with Pedro Zattoni Scroccaro from TU Delft.

Closing event featuring Professor Franceso Corman, Dr. Thomas Spanninger, Matej Jusup, Viera Klasovitá and Dr. Bernardo Martin-Iradi from ETH Zurich, Professor Alessio Trivella from the University of Twente and Mayra Bermudez from SBB.

The CSFM Symposium will address the importance of promoting interdisciplinary research and collaboration among all stakeholders to develop sustainable solutions for the mobility system.

IVT Seminar with Georgios Kapousizis from the University of Twente.

Swiss transportation scientists' and spatial planners' annual conference.

IVT Seminar with Professor Stefan Hess from the University of Leeds.

ETH Risk Center Resilience Webinar with Dr Xudong Jian from the FRS Singapore-ETH Center.

IVT Seminar with Professor Tom Reinhold from traffiQ in Frankfurt.

Kevin Riehl explains the phenomenon of phantom traffic jam and Lukas Ambühl gives us a look into the future.

Kevin Riehl is discussing the importance of finding a socially feasible balance between efficiency and fairness when designing traffic demand policy for the road. And he wins the FameLab semifinal competition 2024. Congratulations!

The bicycle was once the number one means of transportation until it was pushed to the brink of insignificance by the car. Now the bicycle is back and has more political weight than it has been for a long time.

Allocating dedicated road space to slow modes is considered an effective way toward a radical modal shift. By exploiting traffic flow theoretical knowledge, convenient models can be developed to help evaluate the influence of such a large-scale transformation on network traffic performance. Novel strategies for bi-modal urban traffic management can also be proposed to solve congestion.

IVT Seminar with Professor Greg Erhardt from the University of Kentucky in Lexington.

CSFM Seminar co-​organized with the Center for Energy Policy and Economics (CEPE) looking at latest research on factors influencing the adoption and charging of electric vehicles.

Many aspects contribute to the further development of the technologies, but no single game changer could be identified. Developments are expected in automation; revolutionary changes are perceived as unlikely.

Cycling is an important part of the mobility transition. However, there is a lack of space for safe road usage whether on foot, by bike or in a car.

What would happen if we radically redistributed road space in our cities? The 'E-Bike City' project at ETH Zurich is investigating this question.

ISTP Colloquium with Dr. Brilé Anderson, from the Organisation for Economic Co-​operation and Development (OECD), Environmental Economist at Sahel and West Africa Club.

E-Bike City: A way to solve the climate problem? Ideological action? Transport policy?

The city is allowed to remove 16 white car parking spaces for a cycle path in Schwamendingen. The Administrative Court has rejected an appeal against this.

State-of-the-art approaches and future research directions

Public dissertation presentation by Tzu-Hao Yan.

Radically remodelling the road network with the so-called "E-Bike City" lighthouse project. Will it be tight for cars?

Transport planning in the OECD countries is at a challenged-stage due to the success of their car-road-systems threatening to miss their agreed climate goals. The event will discuss the potential of micro-mobility and micro-mobility friendly cities & suburbs to make a difference and to offer a way out of our current dilemma.
