In this article we present an algorithm for converting a network problem with several sources and several sinks including several transfer nodes and condition of supplying the demand of any sink from a particular source to the transportation problem.  Towards this end, and considering the very special structure of transportation algorithm, after implementing the shortest path algorithm or ...

IN T R O D U C T IO N Population forecasters have estimated that the 1970 census when reported will show close to 75 percent of the United States popula­ tion will be classified as urban. Once again one can expect that the greatest percentage change will occur in the urban fringes of central cities of population range of 25,000 to 100,000. Along with the in­ creased population growth and disper...

In the last 30 years, there have been three transportation master plan studies for the Hiroshima urban area, Japan. The planning software used in these studies have been developed by the consultants engaged in the studies. Generally, the transportation models developed for the Hiroshima projects have not been used elsewhere. There is also a lack of information regarding the uses and application...

in this paper, a novel multi-objective bus stop location model is proposed, which considers not only the coverage of demand and minimization of access time but also the necessities of suitable stops for transit network design phase. three objective functions are considered including minimizing (i) sum of the total access distance (time), (ii) the weighted combination of stops, and (iii) the num...

This paper presents an overview of the Future Urban Mobility programme of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART). Through this programme, MIT is establishing a research centre in Singapore with the mission to support sustainability and improve transportation system performance through innovations in infrastructure, technology, operations and policy. Two key areas of rese...

This paper describes an integrated modeling environment for a large urban transportation system designed to capture human behaviors in the aftermath of an improvised nuclear device denotation. The integrated environment models the complex interplay of human behavior (under deteriorating health conditions) and infrastructural systems in the aftermath of such a hypothetical crisis. Prior work on ...
