In almost all countries, public transportation is the primary choice for people to make daily trips. One of main problems accuracy vehicle arrival schedule information. some types with particular tracks, such as rapid transit (e.g., MRT), time can be predicted easily because traffic jams do not affect transportation. This different from buses, which use same route other vehicles so that could t...

We envision a multimodal transportation system where Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) service is used to serve the first mile and last of transit trips. For this purpose, current research formulates an optimization model for designing integrated MoD urban system. The proposed mixed-integer non-linear programming that captures strategic behavior passengers in network through passenger assignment model. ...

With the constant increase in public transit coverage Bangkok Metropolitan Area Thailand, many people are still hesitant to switch from using private transit, with one potential cause being unavailability and difficulty accessing accurate timely information about their itineraries, while they commuting.

Increased urbanization implicated in the form of increased vehicles on roads which burdened limited resources and caused environmental deterioration. To reduce these effects, a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system was considered right solution, requiring minimal infrastructure, as compared to other mass transit options, yet demanding great expertise. This research analyses BRT systems four cities Pak...

Transit agencies around the country have made significant investments since the late 1990s to provide improved service to cyclist-transit users (CTUs), that is, transit riders who bring bicycles with them by using bicycle racks installed on buses. 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 current status and quality of urban and regional development has been criticized by many academics and professionals in different fields. at city centers in addition to traffic congestion, population growth, urban and regional sprawl and suburbanization have resulted in unsustainable conditions in many cities all around the world. in this regard, different aspects of urban form, especially ...

Metro or transit maps, are schematic representations of networks to facilitate effective route-finding. These maps often advertised on a web page pamphlet highlighting routes from source destination stations. To visually support such route-finding, designers distort the layout by embedding symbolic shapes (e.g., circular routes) in order guide readers' attention Moscow map and Japan railway map...

This article takes up the critical discussion that has taken place at an international level by considering people smuggling as a crime. It focuses on clandestine transit migration of Cubans to Chile, associated with trafficking migrants, latter understood forced migration.
