An Analysis of Boarding and Alighting Times for Urban Railway Vehicles

Analysis of Airplane Boarding Times

We model and analyze the process of passengers boarding an airplane. We show how the model yields closed-form estimates for the expected boarding time in many cases of interest. Comparison of our computations with previous work, based on discrete event simulations, shows a high degree of agreement. Analysis of the model reveals a clear link between the efficiency of various airline boarding pol...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Inferring Passenger Boarding and Alighting Preference for the Marguerite Shuttle Bus System

We analyze passenger count data from the Marguerite Shuttle system operating on the Stanford University campus. The aim is to infer the time-varying passenger alighting and boarding preference across stops for several important shuttle routes. We look at the problem from the perspective of filling in the missing entries of a transit route O-D matrix. A preliminary analysis indicates that there ...
