Characterizing and Improving SOiLs AgainsT liquEfaction - ISOLATE – ISOLATE
The ISOLATE project aims at improving the characterization of the liquefaction potential of saturated natural soils and their physical and numerical modelling in order to assess the response of actual geostructures and to reduce the liquefaction hazard (through mitigation) accounting for the current
Scalable routing in Multi-Modal transportation networks – MultiMod
The targeted breakthroughs of MultiMod is the scalability of routing algorithms exploiting real-time events. We ambition to do in large-scale networks like Ile-de-France (where existing solutions are mostly mono-modal) better than what is done in Lyon (planed multimodal), by including unplanned tran
Optimization of Urban Synchromodal Systems – OPUSS
The goal of the OPUSS project is to design advanced optimization algorithms to support the planning of synchromodal urban delivery networks. According to this objective, we propose to achieve fundamental advances on major challenges of synchromodal urban systems, which are the choice among alternati
MOVEDVDC – Modelling of ageing and damage for pavement lifetime assessment – MOVEDVDC
Maintenance of road infrastructures represents a considerable socio-economic challenge in a context where budgets of asset managers are increasingly restricted. To optimize the maintenance of these infrastructures, it is necessary to develop monitoring and diagnosis methods to estimate reliably thei
No conventional imagery for secure urban mobility – ICUB
-Demonstrate that the analysis of road scenes by current methods is not efficient in bad weather conditions -Propose a sensor technology based on polarimetric vision and associated AI algorithms for : -Road scenes analysis in bad weather conditions -Estimating the distance of detected road obsta
Scenarios for innovative management of urban wastewaters based on source separation – DESIGN
While centralized purification systems are encouraged to move towards recovery channels, it is becoming increasingly evident that certain issues are difficult to meet in a «sewage« approach. Dilution and mixing lead to certain barriers. The source separation of urban effluents (brown water, gray wat
Predictive Maintenance of transportation systems under incomplete and imprecise data – MAPSYD
The original contributions of the MAPSYD project can be broken down according to the themes below: - Dependability : The first innovative element is the integration of the dependability in the process of predictive identification of system failures. - Predictive modeling in the presence of unc
Urban Cooling by Trees – Assessing and Modeling for Designing Sustainable Cities – COOLTREES
The first general objective of COOLTREES is to evaluate and model the evapotranspiration of urban trees in relation to their environment, and to link their role in the urban climate to their structural and functional characteristics via modeling by taking into account three different scales: the can
human inspired autonomous navigation in crowds – Hianic
The HIANIC cybercar will analyze its environment by detecting people, evaluating crowd flows, recognizing typical scenarios. It will infer the reaction of the passengers in order to navigate in a way that makes them feel comfortable. Several navigation strategies will collaborate to adapt the moveme
Closed- loop control of the wake of a road vehicle – COWAVE
In this project, we propose strategies for reducing drag and fuel consumption of cars by closed-loop control. We target robust solutions applicable to a large range of operating conditions including changing oncoming velocity and transient side winds. To achieve this goal, we combine passive and act
The socio-territorial construction of inequalities: territorial diagnosis as a decision aid tool – COheSIoN
The question of the sustainable development of cities and the well-being of city dwellers is acute. While cities carry with them the idea of a certain modernism, and often aspire to be the country's showcases, they now seem to be dragged down, emblems of evils rather than progress. Yet there are few
Advanced Mechanics in Pavements : Applications to Damage and Improved Maintenance – MACADAM
The aim of this MACADAM research project is to develop a software dedicated to pavement surface layer design. The resulting tool will enable engineers to mitigate pavement surface damage due primarily to traffic loading. In France, a tremendous budget is allocated to pavement maintenance, upwards of
Control strategies for large scale aggregation of energy flexible buildings – CLEF
Energy-flexible buildings can participate in a better integration of renewable energies by modulating their energy consumption. Despite a large potential identified, a number of issues prevents the deployment of this technology : communication, privacy, cost-effectiveness, control and reliability of
Sustainability and Spatiality in Co-Workers' Mobility Practices – COWORKWORLDS
Coworking spaces appeared in San Francisco in 2005 and since then have spread throughout the world. These new intermediate workplaces between the traditional office and the home are a new way of organizing work based on the sharing of workspace and a network of workers stimulating collaboration. In
Multi-scale Investigation and Modelling of hETerogeneous spraY Coupling with turbulent reacting flows – MIMETYC
The aim of the project is to develop modelling and numerical methods for the accurate prediction of the heterogeneous spray-flow coupling, in the scope of Large Eddy Simulation of turbulent spray flames. Today's simulations of realistic systems such as aeronautical combustors are relying on point-dr
Evaluation of ecosystem performances for re-naturing urban environment – EVNATURB
Urban areas are facing a broad range of challenges due to unsustainable urbanization, degradation of natural capital, as well as an expected increase in intensity and frequency of extreme weather events due to climate change. This should directly exacerbate the environmental consequences (stormwater
Visual semantic analysis: toward a smarter urban navigation – AVISE
This project is interested in the mapping of semantic objects geolocated and adapted to urban navigation. The particularity of this work lies in the implementation of a mapping of semantic objects used in an innovative approach of simultaneous localization and semantic mapping (SLAM). The results ar
