About me

Biography

Achille is Professor of Transport Analysis and Planning at Edinburgh Napier University.
He has a background in Civil Engineering, a PhD in Transport and Planning, a Post Graduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.
He has authored 50 peer-reviewed publications, 20 presentations in conferences, and several book chapters and scientific reports. He has published in the top-ranking transport scientific journals, including Transportation Research Part A, B and C and Analytic Methods in Accident Research. He is Associated Editor of the Journal of Intelligent Transport Systems and member of the Editorial Board of Sustainability. He has edited special issues of Transportation Research Part A and Journal of Intelligent Transport Systems.
He is leading the evaluation of the large Horizon 2020 project SUNRISE, promoting sustainable mobility at the neighbourhood level through co-creation in 6 countries in Europe, and the societal research in the Innovate UK/C-CAV flagship project CAV Forth, which will build and operate a fleet of level 4 full-size buses for the first time in the world. In response to the challenges generated by the outbreak of COVID-19, Achille has established and is leading a research group on the impacts of the pandemics on transport and location choices.
He has active research collaborations with leading researchers in the UK and the rest of Europe, Japan, and the USA. He has been invited to give talks at top international Universities and transport organisations. He is full member of the EPSRC Review College and fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Recovery time and propagation effects of passenger transport disruptions

Journal Article
Malandri, C., Malandria, C., Fonzone, A., & Cats, O. (2018)
Recovery time and propagation effects of passenger transport disruptions. Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 505, 7-17. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physa.2018.03.028
We propose a method to evaluate public transport network vulnerability. We study the evolution of the passenger Volume Over Capacity (VOC) ratio throughout the network to meas...

Better for everyone: an approach to multimodal network design considering equity.

Journal Article
Camporeale, R., Caggiani, L., Fonzone, A., & Ottomanelli, M. (2016)
Better for everyone: an approach to multimodal network design considering equity. Transportation Research Procedia, 19, 303-315. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trpro.2016.12.090
We propose a formulation of the Network Design Problem (NDP) to support transport planners in dealing with multimodal networks in contexts characterised by different (and some...

Quantifying the impacts of horizontal and vertical equity in transit route planning.

Journal Article
Camporeale, R., Caggiani, L., Fonzone, A., & Ottomanelli, M. (2017)
Quantifying the impacts of horizontal and vertical equity in transit route planning. Transportation Planning and Technology, 40(1), 28-44. https://doi.org/10.1080/03081060.2016.1238569
Equity refers to a fair sharing of costs or resources. Horizontal equity concerns distribution among individuals or groups with the same necessities, whereas vertical equity s...

Capturing the conditions that introduce systematic variation in bike-sharing travel behavior using data mining techniques

Journal Article
Bordagaray, M., dell’Olio, L., Fonzone, A., & Ibeas, Á. (2016)
Capturing the conditions that introduce systematic variation in bike-sharing travel behavior using data mining techniques. Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, 71, 231-248. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trc.2016.07.009
The potential of smart-card transactions within bike-sharing systems (BSS) is still to be explored. This research proposes an original offline data mining procedure that takes...

Bus bunching along a corridor served by two lines

Journal Article
Schmöcker, J., Sun, W., Fonzone, A., & Liu, R. (2016)
Bus bunching along a corridor served by two lines. Transportation research. Part B, Methodological, 93(Part A), 300-317. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trb.2016.07.005
Headway fluctuations and “bus bunching” are well known phenomena on many bus routes where an initial delay to one service can disturb the whole schedule due to resulting diffe...

A mixed logit model for predicting exit choice during building evacuations

Journal Article
Lovreglio, R., Fonzone, A., & dell’Olio, L. (2016)
A mixed logit model for predicting exit choice during building evacuations. Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 92, 59-75. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tra.2016.06.018
Knowledge on human behaviour in emergency is crucial to increase the safety of buildings and transportation systems. Decision making during evacuations implies different choic...
