in order to improve the level of intelligence, availability, being on demand, convenience, information and humanization of rural public transportation systems, they are more willing to use modern information and communicative technologies. in addition to management services, intelligent transportation systems can provide passengers, drivers, travel agencies and other institutions with other ser...

This research is motivated by the extraordinary increase in the use of intermodal shipments in recent years for both domestic and global movement of freight. Three mathematical models, which explore the dynamics of intermodal hub-and-spoke networks, are presented. These models use transportation costs, fixed location costs, modal connectivity costs, modal transit times and service time requirem...

optimal pricing of public parking can improve parking management. this leads to traffic flow, thereby reduces the cost of transportation network. in this paper, the transportation network with some origins, destinations, and public parking was considered. in the network, private cars drivers depending on travel time between origin and parking (driving time), travel time between parking and dest...

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 ...

Transportation networks frequently employ hub-and-spoke network architectures to route flows between many origin and destination pairs. In this paper, we deal with a problem, called the single allocation hub-and-spoke network design problem. In the single allocation hub-andspoke network design problem, the goal is to allocate each non-hub node to exactly one of given hub nodes so as to minimize...

This paper presents a virtual lab of connected vehicle technology. The virtual lab features an interactive website where remote users, who are unable to learn connected vehicle technology at expensive real labs, can interact with the virtual environment. A team of traffic engineers, computer scientists/engineers, and electrical engineers propose this integrated and high-fidelity simulation plat...

Telemonitoring during the golden hour of patient transportation helps to improve medical care. Presently there are different physiological data acquisition and transmission systems using cellular network and radio communication links. Location monitoring systems and video transmission systems are also commercially available. The emergency patient transportation systems uniquely require transmis...
