The aim of this study is to evaluate the obstacles due to a DPSIR model combined with fuzzy analytic hierarchy process technique. Hence, to prioritize the responses regarding the driving forces, pressures, states and impacts, the hierarchy of the model is established. Evaluations and prioritization of model results of urban transport situation in Tehran have provided a number of necessary issue...

An object model of multi-modal transport networks is developed with particular emphasis on applications in trip planning. The model caters for both public and private transport modes, and incorporates spatial and temporal data. A uniform approach to optimum trip nding across multi-modal transport networks is developed. The multi-modal network is spatially ordered using a quadtree storage object...

The paper provides a review of freight transport demand models for applications in urban and metropolitan areas. The perspective adopted is the short-term one of public decision-makers involved in transport planning and traffic management. The paper recalls the general methodology to be used for assessing the city logistics scenario and the features of models in relation to the planning horizon...

We investigate the common and integrated dynamic decision making of the coordinator of a supply chain consortium together with a subordinate fleet managing agent offering transport services for the consortium. While the fleet manager aims at minimizing the costs of the generated transport processes, the goal of the coordinator is to keep the reliability and stability of the processes on a reaso...

This paper presents the results of a study undertaken in Dublin, to ascertain preferences for real-time public transport information. This study examines the need for public transport information across three stages of a public transport trip. The stages examined are as follows; stage one: pre-trip planning from home to work, stage two: at-stop/station information and stage three: pre-trip plan...

In this paper, we describe ROSE (Routing Service), an application for mobile phones, which suggests the user events and locations and guides him to them, using the public transport system. It determines the best possible transport link and accompanies passengers throughout their entire journey. Further, it reacts in real time to delays in the public transport system and calculates alternative r...
