Policy transfer among planners in transit-oriented development

Transfer of Learned Heuristics among Planners∗

This paper presents a study on the transfer of learned control knowledge between two different planning techniques. We automatically learn heuristics (usually, in planning, heuristics are also named control knowledge) from one planner search process and apply them to a different planner. The goal is to improve this second planner efficiency solving new problems, i.e. to reduce computer resource...

Parking Policy for Transit-Oriented Development: Lessons for Cities, Transit Agencies, and Developers

Parking policy is an important element of transit-oriented development (TOD). It shapes travel behavior, community design, and development economics; it can improve the performance of both rail transit and TOD. This article is based on the study of residential TODs, office TODs, and joint development of transit agency station parking in California. The research includes surveys of travel behavi...

Assessing the Implementation of the Functional Principles of Transit Oriented Development in the Mirdamad Station Complex

Network design for personal rapid transit under transit-oriented development

This study addresses guideway network design for personal rapid transit (PRT) favoring transit-oriented development. The guideway network design problem seeks to minimize both the guideway construction cost and users’ travel time. In particular, a set of optional points, known as Steiner points, are introduced in the graph to reduce the guideway length. The model is formulated as a combined Ste...

Transit Oriented Development – making it happen

Transit oriented developments (TODs), be they greenfields developments, in-fill or redevelopments of existing sites, have been included as a key component within a number of recent metropolitan strategies within Australia, including the South East Queensland regional plan. Responding to increasingly extended journeys-to-work and other trip movements, TODs are one land use planning intervention ...
