2022

Traffic congestion and major obstructions are to be expected due to holiday travel to the winter sport resorts over the Christmas holidays and New Year's Eve.

Interdisciplinarity as an approach to understanding the complexity of contemporary urban societies.

Francesco Corman has been promoted to Associate Professor of Transport Systems. Congratulations!

Will e-​bikes bring Amsterdam and Copenhagen to Switzerland? 

Do we simply need more space so that everyone can ride his/her bike? ETH surprises with a radical proposal. And criticism comes from an unexpected corner.

ETH is starting a visionary project for CO₂ neutral traffic in the city of Zurich. It focuses primarily on e-​bikes, bicycles and e-​scooters instead of cars.

Christopher Tchervenkov is defending his doctoral thesis.

Mini conference: Automatisation and digitalisation basics—Timetable planning

Felix Zwick is defending his doctoral thesis.

Designing anti-fragile large-scale traffic frameworks

Professor Francesco Corman about the importance of AI empowered dashboards for passenger-oriented traffic control at the workshop The Control Room of the future: AI empowered dashboards held at the University of Ghent.

The Swiss economy pays several billion francs for congested roads and trains every year. The Federal Office for Spatial Development (ARE) calculates time loss on the roads and the comfort costs for public transport.

Fiona Arnet and Florian Fuchs have won the Prix LITRA 2022 within the transport systems research field.

Increased multilocal work spaces and less commuting. What is the effect of the decentralization experience caused by the pandemic on a pan-European scale?

Does low-priced public transport enhance green mobility?

FCL Global Seminar with Dr Pieter Herthogs on planning and managing the growth of cities today and in the future.

Technology has developed during 175 years of Swiss railroad history. In the railway operations laboratory in Duebendorf (ZH), new technology is being tested and ciritcal situations are simulated.

Time travel through the Swiss railroad history. With the help of data sets from the Institute for Transport Planning and Systems.

We are influenced by our living environment mentally and physically. Hence, how should cities and villages look like?

Small malfunctions can lead to long delays in the railway system. Artificial intelligence aims to minimise this problem.

RAIL 2050 is based on a series of studies commissioned by the Federal Office of Transport (FOT), elaborated by research companies and universities, including the Institute for Transport Planning and Systems.

Webinar on big data, GPS, and machine learning for transport research

Public dissertation presentation by Cuauhtemoc Anda from the Future Cities Laboratory at the Singapore-ETH Center.

This ticket is quite popular—21 million have been sold so far. It is supposed to support travel during inflation and push public transport.

The mobility of the Swiss population causes damage every year, mainly to the environment and climate, but also to health.

How will our future mobility look like? Professor Kay Axhausen in the Interview for SRF School.

How much are common machine learning classifiers, such as Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) better in forecasting than traditional discrete choice models?

What lessons do we draw from the Covid crisis as a field test for a more sustainable urban landscape in Switzerland?

The Canton of Zurich recently adopted the net-​zero 2040 climate protection target. Here Sibylle Wälty appeals for more 10-​minute neighbourhoods, which, by making better use of the settlement area, will reduce emissions.

Traffic situation improvement and coordination of transportation and spatial development.

The Corona pandemic had an impact on the national road network last year as well: Traffic increased again but was below the level of previous years.

A full day meeting will be held at KU Leuven (Belgium) in conjunction with the 10^th Symposium of the European Association for Research in Transportation (hEART 2022).

Will there be fully automated cars on Swiss roads by 2035?

With regard to the upcoming bank holidays it will be busy on Swiss roads network.

STRC 2022 - Swiss transportation scientists' and spatial planners' annual conference

Autonomous vehicles, global warming and climate mitigation, behavioural changes and new urban form under COVID-19 challenges, big data, shared mobility, IoT, public health, urban infrastructure and more.

ISTP Colloquium with Professor Sonia Yeh on achieving a sustainable low-​carbon transformation in the transportation sector.

In the race to combat climate change, sustainable transport systems can play a key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. As well as focusing on the technological issues at stake, current research also investigates whether there is public acceptance for the changes.

ETH Risk Center Seminar Series with Fabian Muhly, cyber advisory and scientific collaborator at the ETH Military Academy (MILAC).

Presentations of current transport research topics at the IVT Alumni Seminar 2022.
