Majority of the million plus cities in India are facing serious problems of traffic congestion and pollution due to the unprecedented and rapid pace of urbanization in last decade. City planners are providing solution to these twin problems by developing Mass Rapid Transit System including Metro and BRT in many Indian Metropolitan cities. The availability of transit network and pedestrian acces...

Recently, and due to Arab spring and terrorism around the globe, pushing and driving most governments potentially to harmonize their border measures particularly the regional and an international transit trade within and among Customs Unions. The main purpose of this study is to investigate and provide an insight for monitoring and controlling the trade supply chain within and among different c...

Urban rail transit often operates with high service frequencies to serve heavy passenger demand during rush hours. Such operations can be delayed by train congestion, passenger congestion, and the interaction of the two. Delays are problematic for many transit systems, as they become amplified by this interactive feedback. However, there are no tractable models to describe transit systems with ...

There is a unique solution of the planet and star parameters from a planet transit light curve with two or more transits if the planet has a circular orbit and the light curve is observed in a band pass where limb darkening is negligible. The existence of this unique solution is very useful for current planet transit surveys for several reasons. First, there is an analytic solution that allows ...

a reconsideration of the standpoints adopted by the islamic victory of the islamic revolution will be an attempt to evaluate our present situation and to gain a more profound view toward future standpoits. first, the manner of irans' treatment with the united front of the west is considered. the political standpoits adopted on the basis of islamic views play the crucial role which explain ...

This paper proposes a stochastic user equilibrium SUE assignment model for a schedule-based transit network with capacity constraint. We consider a situation in which passengers do not have the full knowledge about the condition of the network and select paths that minimize a generalized cost function encompassing five components: 1 ride time, which is composed of invehicle and waiting times, 2...

Innovations in traffic signal systems have generated a great deal of interest in the provision of preferential traffic signal strategies and treatments for transit buses and other vehicles at signalized intersections in cities of all sizes. The primary objective of this paper is three fold: 1) to synthesize the literature of the lessons learned associated with planning and deploying transit sig...

Evaluating the public welfare level of urban rail transit systems has not only great significance for government to provide fair and reasonable subsidies but better operation management enterprises. An evaluation index system composed 3 criterion-level indicators 12 subindexes been established in this paper. The conclude service level, social benefit, policy loss which are all affected by manag...
