Increasing the adoption of cycling is crucial for achieving more sustainable urban mobility. Navigating larger cities on a bike is, however, often challenging due to cities’ fragmented cycling infrastructure and/or complex terrain topology. Cyclists would thus benefit from intelligent route planning that would help them discover routes that best suit their transport needs and preferences. Becau...

the goal of this paper is to develop a decision support system (dss) as a journey planner in complex and large multimodal urban network called rahyar. rahyar attempts to identify the most desirable itinerary among all feasible alternatives. the desirability of an itinerary is measured by a disutility function, which is defined as a weighted sum of some criteria. the weights represent travelers’...

strategic environmental assessment can be viewed as a process to integrate the concept ofsustainable development into planning. in this context, sea can be regarded as a method that regulates theplanning process to a state of sustainable development. however, to reach that goal it is necessary to achieve full integration of planning and the sea process.therefore this paper considers the integra...

This paper presents a generic model for using different decision strategies in multi-criteria, personalized route planning. Some researchers have considered user preferences in navigation systems. However, these prior studies typically employed a high tradeoff decision strategy, which used a weighted linear aggregation rule, and neglected other decision strategies. The proposedmodel integrates ...

We examine a way to extend routing using transfer patterns – a state of the art route planning approach for fast routing in public transportation networks – to a multi-modal scenario that allows using public transport, cars, and walking. We specifically examine how to precompute transfer patterns for multi-criteria, multi-modal route planning. When done naively with a Pareto cost model, this le...

The multimodal trip planning system (MTPS) described in this paper can efficiently identify reasonable journeys. Our methodologies could be implemented in future transit trip information systems. An effective MTPS would be of value to transit agencies or administrators due to the large number of different yet related characteristics of the transit network. In Taiwan, no successful MTPS exists o...
