Large-Scale Transit Network Optimization by Minimizing User Cost and Transfers

Transit Network Optimization – Minimizing Transfers and Optimizing Route Directness

This paper presents a mathematical methodology for transit route network optimization. The goal is to provide an effective computational tool for the optimization of large-scale transit route networks. The objectives are to minimize transfers and optimize route directness while maximizing service coverage. The formulation of the methodology consists of three parts: (1) representation of transit...

Large-Scale Transit Network Optimization

This article proposes a methodology for developing optimal transit networks (route structures and headways) that minimizes transit transfers and total user cost while maximizing service coverage, given information on transit demand, transit fleet size, and the street network of the transit service area. The research provides an effective mathematical computational tool with minimal reliance on ...

Minimizing distortion caused by welding, by sequencing optimization in a large steel panel

Increasingly, Welding is used in industry for assembled various products, such as ships, cars, trains and bridges. Welding distortion often results such as lack of accuracy during assembly and will have increases manufacturing costs. So, predict and reduce welding distortion is very important to improve the quality of welded structures.  In this study, firstly, a prediction method of welding di...
