Pre-signals for bus priority: basic guidelines for implementationPublic Transport - Tập 7 - Trang 339-354 - 2015
S. Ilgin Guler, Monica Menendez
When compared to cars, public transportation (e.g., buses) can carry more people
using less space. Hence, by increasing the share of people traveling by bus
within an urban network, we can improve the efficiency of the urban
transportation system, ultimately making it more sustainable. Unfortunately,
buses operating mixed with cars can often get stuck in car congestion. One
commonly used solution ... hiện toàn bộ
An investigation of route-choice in integrated public transport networks by risk-averse usersPublic Transport - Tập 11 - Trang 89-110 - 2019
Anthony Downward, Subeh Chowdhury, Chapa Jayalath
Globally, transport agencies are implementing integrated public transport
systems to increase ridership. Transfers are a key component of such integrated
systems; they facilitate connectivity among modes, allowing the system to
function in unison. It is well known that transfers can cause users to feel
anxious, due to the possibility of missed connections. The public transport
network in Auckland,... hiện toàn bộ
Quantifying the joint impacts of stop locations, signalized intersections, and traffic conditions on bus travel timePublic Transport - Tập 7 - Trang 391-408 - 2015
Wei Feng, Miguel Figliozzi, Robert L. Bertini
Quantifying factors that affect bus travel time along arterials is necessary to
prioritize investments to reduce bus travel time and its variability and to
design advanced prediction and traveler information systems. The joint effects
of bus stop location (near vs. far side), intersection delay and traffic
conditions on travel time have not been addressed in the literature. To fill
this research g... hiện toàn bộ
A technology selection and design model of a semi-rapid transit linePublic Transport - Tập 10 - Trang 455-497 - 2018
Luigi Moccia, Duncan W. Allen, Eric C. Bruun
We present a new optimization model for technology selection and design of a
semi-rapid transit line. With respect to previous studies, we improve the
synthetic representation of the temporal and spatial variability of demand, and
of several operational and design aspects. We apply the model to two scenarios
offering comparable performance by commercially available technologies in terms
of service... hiện toàn bộ
Optimizing bus line platform assignment across bus stations in UtrechtPublic Transport - Tập 14 - Trang 323-342 - 2021
Wouter ten Bosch, J. A. (Han) Hoogeveen, Marcel E. van Kooten Niekerk
Due to its increased popularity, public transport has grown considerably, which
has resulted in more lines that are operated with higher frequencies. As a
result, the current bus stations that are located in strategic places like city
centers to serve as a hub are becoming too small. If there is no space to
enlarge the station, then usually the best option is to create a second bus
station close-b... hiện toàn bộ
Visualisation of trip chaining behaviour and mode choice using household travel survey dataPublic Transport - Tập 10 - Trang 427-453 - 2018
Günter Wallner, Simone Kriglstein, Edward Chung, Syeed Anta Kashfi
Planning for transport infrastructure requires forecasting of future travel
demand. Various factors such as future population, employment, and the travel
behaviour of the residents drive travel demand. In order to better understand
human travel behaviour, household travel surveys—which require participants to
record all their trips made during a single day or over a whole week—are
conducted. Howev... hiện toàn bộ
Cost-of-crowding model for light rail train and platform lengthPublic Transport - Tập 8 Số 1 - Trang 85-101 - 2016
Klumpenhouwer, W., Wirasinghe, S. C.
With light rail transit (LRT) and other similar rail-based commuter transit
systems, train and associated station platform length provides an added
dimension of flexibility not available to buses. Train and platform lengths are
important factors in the planning and expansion phases of a network. Existing
cost models that determine optimal headway by combining passenger and
operational costs provid... hiện toàn bộ
