A stochastic model of passenger generalized time along a transit line

Along a transit line, vehicle traffic and passenger traffic are jointly subject to variability in travel time and vehicle load hence crowding. The paper provides a stochastic model of passenger physical time and generalized time, including waiting on platform and in-vehicle run time from access to egress station. Five sources of variability are addressed: (i) vehicle headway which can vary betw...

Common-Lines and Passenger Assignment in Congested Transit Networks

Transmission-Line Load-Network Topology for Class-E Power Amplifiers

Class-E amplifiers are a type of switching amplifier offering very high efficiency approaching 100% . In this paper, a topology and design methodology, which could be used for a transmission-line implementation of a class-E power amplifier, is presented. A simple transmission-line class-E load network is proposed that offers combined transformation of the load resistance down to a suitable leve...

Decoupling Passenger Flows for Improved Load Prediction

This paper continues our work on perturbation analysis of multimodal transportation networks (TNs) by means of a stochastic hybrid automaton (SHA) model. We focus here on the approximate computation, in particular on the major bottleneck consisting in the high dimensionality of systems of stochastic differential balance equations (SDEs) that define the continuous passenger-flow dynamics in the ...
