On the basis of relative theories of complex network, a high-speed passenger transportation network using Pajek software is proposed and its topological characteristics as well as network structure are analyzed. Analyzed is also its reliability under two kinds of attacks, and suggestions on its construction recommended. The research in this paper helps to complete the overall network structure ...

As the most important node in public transport network, efficiency of a transport hub determines the entire efficiency of the whole transport network. In order to put forward effective transfer schemes, a comprehensive evaluation index system of urban transport hubs’ transfer efficiency was built, evaluation indexes were quantified, and an evaluation model of a multi-objective decision hub tran...

Passengers’ experience is becoming a key metric to evaluate the air transportation system’s performance. Efficient and robust tools to handle airport operations are needed along with a better understanding of passengers’ interests and concerns. This paper is concerned with airport gate scheduling for improved passenger experience while ensuring robust air-side operations. Three metrics accounti...

In the United States, the freight railway industry is already running without much excess capacity. Hence, better planning and scheduling tools are needed to effectively manage the scarce resources, to cope with the rapidly increasing demand for railway transportation. The integration of freight train and passenger train scheduling and dispatching is an important railroad management task since ...

Transportation terminal is the key node in transport systems. Efficient terminals can improve operation of passenger transportation networks, adjust the layout of public transportation networks, provide a passenger guidance system, and regulate the development of commercial forms, as well as optimize the assembly and distribution of modern logistic modes, among others. This study aims to clarif...

Logistics are an important function of modern transport systems. Contemporary technological and spatial developments have improved the cost, efficiency and reliability of freight and passenger transport systems. At the same time, the negative environmental impacts of transportation have gained wide recognition and are at the core of issues of sustainability, especially in urban areas. Since the...

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...

A fundamental component of any National Airspace System (NAS) performance evaluation is the cost impact of air traffic delays, and more generally capacity limitations, on the travelling passengers. In previous research it has been conclusively shown that flight delay data and flightcentric metrics fail to accurately represent the passenger travel experience and passenger trip delays accurately....

In an increasingly fast-paced world, emerging mobility demands must be met by competitive services that are in line with the principles of sustainable transportation concepts. It is not possible to know exactly what solution future will be, but it certain require a reduction car use. A dramatic increase energy prices have impact on sector, making public attractive large numbers people could red...
