Cette Table ronde réexamine l’abondante documentation dont on dispose sur la détermination de la valeur du temps de déplacement des voyageurs. Elle se penche sur le domaine encore peu étudié que constitue l’augmentation du temps des transports de marchandises dans le contexte de la mondialisation. Les urbanistes, en particulier, craignent que l’attribution d’une valeur excessive au temps de transport des voyageurs n’entraîne un surinvestissement dans les infrastructures urbaines qui stimulerait le développement d’un habitat urbain de faible densité et l’étalement des villes. Les mesures des politiques des transports qui favorisent la vitesse et la fiabilité du transport de marchandises n’ont pas seulement pour effet de réduire ses coûts directs, mais elles ont également de fortes répercussions sur les politiques de stockage, la logistique, voire sur les choix d’implantation des entreprises. Comme le révèlent des études empiriques récentes, l’évolution des temps de transport international, ainsi que le raccourcissement des cycles des produits et de la mode, ont une influence sur la structure de l’investissement direct étranger et les courants d’échanges internationaux. La prise de décisions rationnelles dans le domaine de la politique des transports doit tenir compte de ces effets indirects.

During the last century, navigation systems have become ubiquitous and guide drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians towards their desired destinations. While operating worldwide, they rely on line-of-sight conditions towards satellites and are thus limited to outdoor areas. However, finding a gate within an airport, a ward within a hospital, or a university's auditorium also represent navigation problems. To provide navigation within such indoor environments, new approaches are required. This thesis examines pedestrian 3D indoor localization and navigation using commodity smartphones: A desirable target platform, always at hand and equipped with a multitude of sensors. The IMU (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer) and barometer allow for pedestrian dead reckoning, that is, estimating relative location changes. Absolute whereabouts can be determined via Wi-Fi, an infrastructure present within most public buildings, or by using Bluetooth Low Energy Beacons as inexpensive supplement. The building's 3D floorplan not only enables navigation, but also increases accuracy by preventing impossible movements, and serves as a visual reference for the pedestrian. All aforementioned information is fused by recursive density estimation based on a particle filter. The conducted experiments cover both, theoretical backgrounds and real-world use-cases. All discussed approaches utilize the infrastructure found within most public buildings, are easy to set up, and maintain. Overall, this thesis results in an indoor localization and navigation system that can be easily deployed, without requiring any special hardware components.

Warping Time shows how narratives of the past influence what people believe about the present and future state of the world. In Benjamin Ginsberg and Jennifer Bachner’s simple experiments, in which the authors measured the impact of different stories their subjects heard about the past, these “history lessons” moved contemporary policy preferences by an average of 16 percentage points; forecasts of the future moved contemporary policy preferences by an average of 12 percentage points; the two together moved preferences an average of 21 percentage points. And, in an Orwellian twist, the authors estimate that the “history lessons” had an average “erasure effect” of 8.5 percentage points—the difference between those with long-held preferences and those who did not recall that they previously held other opinions before participating in the experiment. The fact that the past, present, and future are subject to human manipulation suggests that history is not simply the product of impersonal forces, material conditions, or past choices. Humans are the architects of history, not its captives. Political reality is tenuous. Changes in our understanding of the past or future can substantially alter perceptions of and action in the present. Finally, the manipulation of time, especially the relationship between past and future, is a powerful political tool.
