DESCRIPTION:Mr Lukas Ambühl\n08:30 – 09:30 – Mr Lukas Ambühl\nDoctor
 al Student\, ETH Zürich\, Switzerland\n\nFrom gray to green?\n\nThe inter
 actions between emerging technology and the infrastructure of tomorrow are
  the focus of much current research. For example\, recent algorithms descr
 ibe the capacity gains from the communication among connected automated ve
 hicles (CAVs) or with the infrastructure. Understandably\, such developmen
 ts are rarely put into a holistic view centered on the issues of induced d
 emand\, which is mainly driven by the generalized transportation costs. An
  indirect\, yet essential component of the latter is infrastructure manage
 ment. \nWhile properties of urban traffic demand vary over time and space
 \, current transportation infrastructure remains almost invariable. In oth
 er words\, origins and destinations or magnitudes of the demand change thr
 oughout the day\, whereas the supplied transportation infrastructure (e.g.
  road space\, signal controls) remains more or less unvaried - except for 
 public transport frequency.\nThis research presentation will first shed li
 ght on the empirical infrastructure capacity of 45 cities worldwide and co
 nnect different existing models of congestion propagation. Given that roug
 hly 35% of the urban surface is dedicated to transportation\, this present
 ation will also sketch smart and flexible ways on how to use transportatio
 n infrastructure. It seems out of proportion to spend substantial amounts 
 of money and waste space in densely populated cities for a peak hour deman
