Frequency and Vehicle Capacity Determination using a Dynamic Transit Assignment Model

Schedule - based transit assignment : a new dynamic equilibrium model with explicit vehicle capacity constraints

We propose a new approach for modeling congested transit networks with fixed time tables where it may happen that there is not enough room onboard to allow all users waiting for a given line on the arriving vehicle, so that passengers need to queue at the stop until the service becomes actually available to them. Indeed, to reproduce this phenomenon within the established framework of diachroni...

Schedule-based Transit Assignment: a New Dynamic Equilibrium Model with Vehicle Capacity Constraints

We propose in this paper a new approach for modelling congested transit networks with fixed timetables where it may happen that there is not enough room onboard to allow all users waiting for a given line on the arriving carrier, so that passengers need to queue at the stop until the service becomes actually available to them. The traditional approach to reproduce this phenomenon within the est...

A Frequency Based Transit Model for Dynamic Traffic Assignment to Multimodal Networks

A Dynamic Traffic Model for Frequency Assignment

We are interested in improving the quality of frequency assignment via a more accurate modeling of the traffic over the network. For this purpose, we propose here an original model for FAP, which takes into account both spatial and temporal variation of the traffic. The proposed model is assessed with a hybrid genetic algorithm and compared against a classical model. Experimental results on bot...

Dynamic Schedule-Based Assignment Model for Urban Rail Transit Network with Capacity Constraints

There is a great need for estimation of passenger flow temporal and spatial distribution in urban rail transit network. The literature review indicates that passenger flow assignment models considering capacity constraints with overload delay factor for in-vehicle crowding are limited in schedule-based network. This paper proposes a stochastic user equilibrium model for solving the assignment p...
