Preface

The transportation system plays a significant role in making cities sustainable,

Innovative and smart mobility systems are expected to change the way transportation systems work and move traditional mobility paradigms towards a more self-conscious and sustainable behavior. In this context, a great research effort is necessary to cover those issues related to transportation planning, management and

Indeed, it is fundamental to understand and model much more complex travel paradigms, to identify robust and effective strategies for traffic control, and to design transit services or personal mobility services. Furthermore, it is crucial to identify real opportunities that the current technological revolution may present

This book proposes a methodological and technological approach to the aforementioned issues. It proposes a comprehensive framework that may support researchers,

The first section of the book examines travel and driving behavior, investigating the necessity of more realistic and flexible paradigms for mode choice and modeling complex travel patterns. It also focuses on two very timely issues: attitudes and behavior of old travelers towards new technologies and the role of cognitive profile

The second section addresses the crucial challenges regarding the management and optimization of the multiple components of a transportation system. It investigates route guidance in connected/autonomous environments, management of electric and cooperative buses, traffic control in hybrid traffic flow conditions, and optimi-

The third section is an overview of three of the most promising technological advances of transportation systems: advanced vehicles, driving technologies, and

Chapter 1 is a brief introduction to the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) paradigm and the main modeling issues that researchers should address in the near future. Then, it provides an extensive review of the state of the art of mode choice approaches and introduces a bi-level mode choice behavior paradigm that explicitly accounts for

Chapter 2 describes the state of art and practice of activity-based modeling approaches, including the ongoing research covering both demand and supply considerations. It proposes possible solutions to improve the modeling approach,
