Passengers in rural areas are provided with little or no information regarding public transport disruptions. This can result in high levels of travel uncertainty with significant potential to affect travel behaviour. This paper, through 52 interviews, and 7 focus groups in rural areas in Scotland and England, explores the passenger experience, and the technology usage of individuals during disr...

Frequent train delays make passenger-oriented train dispatching a task of high practical relevance. In case of delays, dispatchers have to decide whether trains should wait for one or several delayed feeder trains or should depart on time. To support dispatchers, we have recently introduced the train dispatching framework PANDA (CASPT 2015). In this paper, we present and evaluate two enhancemen...

nowadays, the awareness of service firms’ managers about the crucial role of customers in the success or failure of their business has increased. this has led them to this fact that the best strategy for surviving in the marketplace is encouraging customers’ prosocial behaviors in service delivery process. reasonably, one of the best strategies to encourage customers toward these behaviors is s...

Considerable yet largely unexpected growth in passenger rail demand has occurred recently in Australian capital cities. This article uses historical data, together with modern time series methods, to examine empirically the factors that might have contributed to growth in passenger rail demand in Melbourne, Australia, and to gain greater insight into the relationships between the various explan...

Many of the virulence determinants secreted from pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria are autotransporter proteins, which are usually either exported to the bacterial cell surface or secreted into the external environment. There appears to be dearth of information regarding the exact mechanism of their processing into the surface-exposed passenger domains and C-terminal, βdomains. The C-terminal p...

This paper deals with how to develop a model to forecast air passenger demand and to evaluate some policy scenarios related with runway and passenger terminal capacity expansion to meet the future demand. System dynamics frameworks can be used to model, to analyze and to generate scenario to increase the system performance because of its capability of representing physical and information flows...

Aim at the modeling problem for distribution service network (DSN) of comprehensive passenger transport hub (CPTH), the three-phrase modeling method for designing DSN is proposed, which consists of factor analysis, factor description and network integration. Based on the analysis to passenger transport behavior demand, the conception of DSN is defined for the first time. The DSN is a network sy...
