The Social Costs of Intercity Passenger Transportation: A Review and Comparison of Air and Highway

The multimodal trip planning system of intercity transportation in Taiwan

The multimodal trip planning system (MTPS) described in this paper can efficiently identify reasonable journeys. Our methodologies could be implemented in future transit trip information systems. An effective MTPS would be of value to transit agencies or administrators due to the large number of different yet related characteristics of the transit network. In Taiwan, no successful MTPS exists o...

External costs of intercity truck freight transportation

From a societal perspective, it is desirable for all transportation users to pay their full social (private and external) costs. We estimate four general types of external costs for intercity freight trucking and compare them with the private costs incurred by carriers. Estimated external costs include: accidents (fatalities, injuries, and property damage); emissions (air pollution and greenhou...

Modeling of Passenger Waiting Time in Intermodal Station with Constrained Capacity on Intercity Transit

Abstract: This paper aims to develop a mathematical model to analyze the passenger waiting time in an intermodal station in which intercity transit system served with feeder buses. Passengers are categorized into two groups, named scheduled and random, respectively. The analytic model is developed for quantifying the relationships of passenger waiting time to reliability of feeder bus services ...

Modeling Passenger Travel and Delays in the National Air Transportation System

Many of the existing methods for evaluating an airline’s on-time performance are based on flight-centric measures of delay. However, recent research has demonstrated that passenger delays depend on many factors in addition to flight delays. For instance, significant passenger delays result from flight cancellations and missed connections, which themselves depend on a significant number of facto...
