Multimodal transportation (MMT) refers to a system that utilizes various means of transfer people & goods from one place another. Transit operations are measured as the maximum number passengers can be carried past fixed route, in given period. Investing and using multiple modes does not only bring efficiencies but also goes long way reduce time delay, well overall cost transportation. This...

This paper formulates a mathematical model for the Green Vehicle Routing Problem (GVRP), incorporating bi-fuel (natural gas and gasoline) pickup trucks in a mixed vehicle fleet. The objective is to minimize overall costs relating to service (earliness and tardiness), transportation (fixed, variable and fuel), and carbon emissions. To reflect a real-world situation, the study considers: (1) a co...

Traffic information systems have become a major issue in many countries as a modern technology for alleviating traffic congestion in urban areas. Pre-trip or en-route real-time travel information regarding traffic conditions can enhance drivers’ knowledge of the situation in road networks and may assist in drivers’ decisions such as the choice of departure time, route, and destination. In facts...

Existing regional travel forecasting systems are not typically set up to forecast usage of bicycle infrastructure and are insensitive to bicyclists' route preferences in general. We collected revealed preference, GPS data on 162 bicyclists over the course of several days and coded the resulting trips to a highly detailed bicycle network model. We then use these data to estimate bicyclist route ...

In Turkey, 20% of energy use caused by transportation. Light rail transportation has developing nowadays. However, it is very important to issue having information about the consumption light vehicle according different both and railway situations. 
 approximately expended spent on technology still in an evolving process. this development process, crucial have situations railway.

Although many individual route choice models have been proposed to incorporate travel time variability as a decision factor, they are typically still deterministic in the sense that the optimal strategy requires choosing one particular route that maximizes utility. In contrast, this study introduces an individual route choice model where choosing a portfolio of routes instead of a single route ...

The risk assessment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) transportation routes has raised researchers' concerns in recent years, which is a group multi-criteria decision-making (GMCDM) problems that involves experts' opinions from different fields. To improve the effectiveness evaluating process, this paper proposes method to recognize potential risks and selects best LNG route. Firstly, authors cons...

One of the major road transportation problems is route finding. With the massive and complicated road network of a modern city (or country), finding a good route to travel from one place to another is not a simple task. In Network Theory, this is a shortest path problem. Shortest path algorithms are often used to solve the problem. However, these algorithms are wasteful in terms of computation ...

This paper provides evidence of market power in the transportation of ethanol used in reformulated gasoline and alternative transportation fuels. I estimate a reduced form model for railroad route-level prices. My identification strategy instruments for railroad entry, controls for selection and explicitly models capacity constraints. A detailed understanding of this industry is important becau...

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...
