Modes de représentation des trajectoires quotidiennes des habitants
2007
Representing the daily trajectories of individuals Current research on inhabitants' daily mobilities has confirmed that individual mobility strategies are based on activity programmes. In France, the Household Travel Survey (HTS) is one of the principal sources of information about individual travel behaviour. Despite some drawbacks, they are rich sources of spatio-temporal data, as well as providing information on individual and household characteristics. However, for daily mobilities to be analysed, the raw data need to be reorganized. This study is based on the Grenoble-area Household Travel Survey, carried out in 2002. We propose to explore the HTS data through examples of individual mo…
Theoretical approaches for geometric optimization of urban forms : towards a fractal development of the city
2017
This thesis aims to establish a urban structure that optimizes inhabitant's preferences. In other words, we want to find out which city shape answers the best the residents' aspirations, according to their consumption preferences for urban and green amenities. By considering a theoretical field of study and by characterizing the population by a Cobb-Douglas behavioral pattern, we will build step by step a city, assuming successive arrivais of new individuals, in order to find out which geometric shape gives the most suitable answer. The final goal of this thesis is there to suggest a city with a fractal shape as an appro- priate answer to the resident's expectations. We will show that this …
