      • The teaching component of the NSL seeks to impart the knowledge and skills needed to develop the standard strengths of spatial planning and their interaction as well as the ability to develop strategies for the solution of spatial problems. These are central prerequisites for a responsible and successful exercise of planning functions in the service of the public commonwealth and of private companies. Especially important in fufilling these prerequisites is the quality of university-level education: graduate and post-graduate work as well as professional development in spatial, urban and landscape planning. The ETH Zurich has offered programmes such as continuing education courses and post-graduate programmes (NDS, now MAS) since 1965. The NSL (Network City and Landscape) is responsible for these courses and programmes.

Modeling, Estimation, and Control in Large-scale Urban Road Networks with Remaining Travel Distance Dynamics 

Microscopic (Aimsun) model of the network, with clustering results as links and controlled intersections as circles (intersections belonging to in yellow, in magenta, in cyan, and in black). (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)

What if Trip Lengths are not Homogeneous?

In this work, together with the colleagues at EPFL, we study how trip lengths heterogeneity can affect the aggregated dynamics on a network-level approach.

We propose a new dynamical model for capturing the inflow/outflow relationship in a large urban area, considering the trip length distribution. We prove that by just taking into account the mean and variance of the distribution one can substantially improve the performance of state-of-the-art models that consider only the behaviour of average dynamics. The proposed model is calibrated with microsimulation data and utilized for state estimation and perimeter control. This work includes the entire pipeline (modelling, system identification, estimation, control) for studying and managing traffic flow in urban networks.
