Transit providers play a key roll in the formation and evolution of the Internet ecosystem. In this paper, we incorporate economical considerations into the study of the dynamics of the transit networks, under the premise of multipath interdomain routing. We model the dynamics as a result of individual profit optimization under capacity constraints, and prove the optimal outbound strategies for...

We seek to motivate drivers who regularly use webbased local and mapping services and have access to viable alternative transit methods — such as public transportation, carpooling, walking or bicycling — to use these alternatives instead of driving alone. altVerto works with users’ existing habits to intervene during trip planning, and then sustains long-term positive behavior through progress ...

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...

Gut microbiota contribute to host metabolic efficiency by increasing energy availability through the fermentation of dietary fiber and production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the colon. SCFAs are proposed to stimulate secretion of the proglucagon (Gcg)-derived incretin hormone GLP-1, which stimulates insulin secretion (incretin response) and inhibits gastric emptying. We find that germ...

Many studies have investigated the effects of transit-oriented development (TOD) on density, design, diversity development, and transit ridership. However, fewer address issue carrying capacity TOD. This paper aims to assess TOD areas' using four criteria (land capability, water availability, socio-economic, green infrastructure) 14 indicators Jakarta's two areas. These results show that even t...

In recent years, with half the world’s population living in towns and cities and most of them relying heavily on public transport to meet their mobility needs, efficient and effective public transport operations have become critical to sustainable economic and social development. Nowadays, Light Rail Transit Systems are considered to be the most promising technological approach to satisfy these...

Visioning is becoming a significant way to engage communities in developing transit systems that better satisfy their wants and needs. Visioning involves a range of groups participating in a process that determines the goals and forms of transit systems and developments. Visualization is one of the most widely-used and important methods in visioning. However, while it has many strengths, visual...

A decision support system (DSS) is developed for urban mass transit service planning, which is designed for several types of users, such as transit operators for service planning, a public agency for regulation of transit services, or transit passengers for route guidance. The DSS provides a flexible mechanism to deal with data. It may include various transit networks and one transit network ha...

The proliferation of ridesourcing services has raised both hopes and concerns about their role in cities. impacts are complex multi-faceted. Through reviewing the literature, this study aims to identify social, economic, environmental these highlight opportunities challenges that lay ahead them for resolving issues related urban transportation. According results, offer safe modes transport prov...
