The focus of this thesis is to include the passengers and their behavior inside the train timetable design. This is done through three main objectives: timetable design based on passenger satisfaction, exploitation of hybrid cyclicity and choice based revenue optimization. At first, a new Passenger Centric Train Timetabling Problem is introduced into the planning horizon of the passenger railwa...

This paper proposes Hybrid Intelligent Water Drops (HIWD) algorithm to solve Tamhidi programs uncapacitated examination timetabling problem in Universiti Sains Islamic Malaysia (USIM). Intelligent Water Drops algorithm (IWD) is a population-based algorithm where each drop represents a solution and the sharing between the drops during the search lead to better drops. The results of this study pr...

In this paper we suggest a new approach to timetable information by introducing the “edge-converted graph” of a timetable. Using this model we present simple algorithms that solve the earliest arrival problem (EAP) and the minimum number of transfers problem (MNTP). For constant-degree graphs this yields linear-time algorithms for EAP and MNTP which improves upon the known Dijkstra-based approa...

local bus network is the most popular transit mode and the only available transit mode in the majority of cities of the world. increasing the utility of this mode which increases its share from urban trips is an important goal for city planners. timetable setting as the second component of bus network design problem (network route design timetable setting vehicle assignment crew assignment) hav...
