<title>Abstract</title>Despite the wide use of <italic>utility theory</italic> to model travellers' behaviour, the interest in <italic>non-expected utility</italic> theories has increased due to their potential to capture more realistic behaviour. A main question raised is whether travellers are better described as utility maximizers or should...

The use of Prospect Theory to model route choice has increased in the past decades. The main application issue is how to define the reference point, i.e., the value that travellers use as a reference to distinguish gains and losses in the experienced travel times. Moreover, the question can be...

Within the realm of pedestrian research numerous measures have been proposed to estimate the level of crowdedness experienced by pedestrians. However, within the field of pedestrian traffic flow modelling there does not seem to be consensus on the question which of these measures performs best....

The dynamics of pedestrian flows can be captured in a continuum modelling framework. However, compared to vehicular flow, this is a much more challenging task. In particular the integration of flow propagation and path choice are known to be problematic. Furthermore, pedestrian flow is...

Le projet Nearctis est un réseau d’excellence académique constitué d’instituts de recherche européens qui aborde les questions de gestion du trafic et de systèmes coopératifs. Ce réseau a développé un programme de recherche harmonisé qui propose une série de thématiques...

Among the most interesting and challenging theoretical and practical problems in describing pedestrians behavior are route choice and activity scheduling. Compared to other modes of transport, a characteristic feature of pedestrian route choice is that routes are continuous trajectories in time...
