This article investigates the value transit travelers place on qualitative factors, such as comfort and convenience, and practical ways to incorporate these factors into transport planning and project evaluation. Conventional evaluation practices generally assign the same time value regardless of travel conditions, and so undervalue comfort and convenience impacts. More comprehensive analysis o...

This paper investigates the impact of schematic transit maps on passengers’ travel decisions. It does two things: First, it proposes an analysis framework that defines four types of information conferred from a transit map: distortion, restoration, codification, and cognition, and their potential impact on three types of travel decisions: location, mode, and path choices. Second, it conducts an...

In this paper we propose a model for the problem of designing a rapid transit network which includes transfers. Our objective is to maximize the number of expected users in the transit network taking limited budgets into consideration. Additionally, the existing competition between private and public modes is assumed when the generalized cost for the user trips is calculated. Some computational...

Public transportation has been one of the most important research fields in the two last decades. The purpose of this paper is to create a schedule for public transport fleets such as buses and metro trains with the goal of minimizing the total transfer waiting time. We extend previous research works in the field of transit schedule with considering headways of each route as decision variables....

In this literature review, we systematically review studies on public transit control with a specific focus at-stop measures. our synthesis of the relevant literature, consider three perspectives: (1) mathematical models proposed methodologies; (2) their complexity; (3) applicability in real-time operations and advantages disadvantages considering practical implications. The reviewed methods in...

Public transport has become one of the major options, especially when it comes to reducing motorized individual and achieving sustainability while emissions, noise so on. The use public data evolved rapidly improved over past decades. Indeed, availability from different sources, coupled with advances in analytical predictive approaches, contributed increased attention being paid exploitation av...
