This paper summarizes basic principles for transportation planning. It describes conventional transport planning, which tends to focus on motor vehicle traffic conditions, and newer methods for more multi-modal planning and evaluation. Multi-Modal Transportation Planning Victoria Transport Policy Institute 1 Conventional Transportation Planning Multi-modal planning refers to planning that consi...

This paper presents a dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) model for urban multi-modal transportation network by constructing a mesoscopic simulation model. Several traffic means such as private car, subway, bus and bicycle are considered in the network. The mesoscopic simulator consists of a mesoscopic supply simulator based on MesoTS model and a time-dependent demand simulator. The mode choice is...

Business Process Management has proven to be a useful approach to increase the performance of enterprises, with most of its success stories being associated with office work and service processes. Specific challenges are faced in logistics processes, which partially involve physical transportation activities and also casual office work. On the other hand, there are various opportunities for tak...

For accessibility analysis, an integrated view encompassing the networks for public and private transport modes as well as the activity programs of travellers is essential. In earlier research, the supernetwork has been put forward by the authors as a suitable technique to model the system in such an integrated fashion. An essential part of a supernetwork model for multi-modal and multi-activit...

Recent research on fast route planning algorithms focused either on road networks or on public transportation. However, on the long run, we are interested in planning routes in a multi-modal scenario: we start by car to reach the nearest train station, ride the train to the airport, fly to an airport near our destination and finally take a taxi. In other words, we need to incorporate public tra...

Transportation departments are beginning to recognize that adaptation for climate change must become an integral part of their planning efforts. However, staff members frequently lack adequate local data, training, or guidance to begin adaptation planning assessments. As a result, climate change adaptation planning has remained generally abstract and lacks specificity needed to identify potenti...

In this paper a tolls and transit frequencies optimization problem has been reduced to a specific equivalent equilibrium assignment problem and its local solution conditions have been stated. A specific fixed-point approach algorithm has also been devised, introducing a hyper-network consisting of a multi-modal transportation network combined with a specific investment network. Based on a test ...

Public transit plays a key role in shaping the transportation structure of large and fast growing cities. To cope with high population and employment density, such cities usually resort to multi-modal transit services, such as rail, BRT and bus. These modes are strategically connected to form an effective transit network. Among the transit modes, bus stops need to be properly deployed to mainta...

In todays industries requirements are put upon that the different actors integrate their performance for the purpose of the transportation system as a whole. Door-to-door processes, seamless integration, and multi-modal integration are expressions for such movement where the requirements of the beneficiaries are put at the core. Digitalization could enable such movement. For midand long-range t...
