Recently, many cities have launched new rail transit lines. Once these new rail transit lines start commercial operation, they will play important roles as competitors to conventional bus services. In this paper, the effects of nationalization on equilibria have been studied in a mixed duopoly public transport market, in which one publicly-owned rail transit operator competes with one private b...

Use of these bus bicycle racks appears to vary significantly from transit system to transit system. It is unclear, however, what specific factors con...

The bus system in a high-speed public transportation systems are equipped with modern technology that due to accuracy, speed and flexibility have been considered as one of the improvement solutions in Tehran's public transport system. In this article the performance of BRT line three of Tehran has been evaluated based on the established standard in 2013, developed by the Institute for Developme...

This Data in Brief (DiB) article presents a hierarchical multiple linear regression model that examine the associations between psychosocial work factors and risk behaviors at the wheel in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) drivers (n=524). The data were collected using a structured self-administrable questionnaire made of measurements of wok stress (job strain and effort- reward imbalance), fatigue (need...

With the deployment Automatic Vehicle Location systems to monitor transit vehicles (and other fleet vehicles), there have been several efforts in recent years that seek to leverage these data to also obtain arterial travel times for the private vehicle population. The fleet vehicle data capture the traffic conditions, but they also capture behavior unique to the fleet, e.g., servicing passenger...
