This study seeks to examine transit’s role in promoting social equity by assessing the before-after impacts of recent transit changes in the Twin Cities, including the opening of the Hiawatha light-rail line, on job accessibility among workers of different wage categories. Geospatial, descriptive, and regression analyses find that proximity to light-rail stations and bus stops offering direct r...

Architectural domain needs for crowd simulation in order to validate the design of buildings that can host a large number of users, such as train stations, bus stations, or airports. Some simulation tools already exist to study flows of people inside constrained areas, but they only address the most visible behaviour of human beings, the navigation. Then, the environment is only considered as a...

Electric vehicles are the key to facilitating transition low-carbon ‘green’ transport. However, there concerns with their range and location of charging stations which delay a full-fledged adoption use. Hence, electric infrastructure in given region is critical mitigating those concerns. In this study, an interval type-2 fuzzy set based multi-criteria decision-making method introduced for selec...

Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station placement problem is a facility location problem. The EV concerns about the total coverage in traffic network, system losses and node voltage deviations electric distribution system. To address loss reduction profile improvement, systems are normally equipped with shunt capacitors for reactive power compensation. In this paper mathematical model comprising...

Although rail transportation is conventionally considered to be environmentallyfriendly, currently research is being carried out globally to find ways to improve energy-saving in rail transportation. Development of an energy management system for railways and new transport systems including the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) system has begun. The railway energy management system manages and controls t...

in our country, school bus routes are determined by experiments of driver without considering the scientific optimum route and location. traversing additional routes will always result an increase in vehicle movements and fuel consumption and enormous costs. hence, this paper will study the school bus routing in tehran considering special students and a model will be presented to minimize trave...
