Public transportation systems across the United States serve millions of riders every day, forming crucial links between people and their daily destinations. In this work, we develop a method for modeling public transportation systems as network graphs. We use the resultant graphs to study the properties of 18 public transportation systems from cities and counties in the United States and Canad...

Short-term passenger flow forecasting is an important component of transportation systems. The forecasting result can be applied to support transportation system operation and management such as operation planning and revenue management. In this paper, a divide-and-conquer method based on neural network and origin-destination (OD) matrix estimation is developed to forecast the short-term passen...

in order to improve the level of intelligence, availability, being on demand, convenience, information and humanization of rural public transportation systems, they are more willing to use modern information and communicative technologies. in addition to management services, intelligent transportation systems can provide passengers, drivers, travel agencies and other institutions with other ser...

Ride-share systems, which aim to bring together travelers with similar itineraries and time schedules, may provide significant societal and environmental benefits by reducing the number of cars used for personal travel and improving the utilization of available seat capacity. Effective and efficient optimization technology that matches drivers and riders in real-time is one of the necessary com...

Abstract Transportation network companies (TNCs), such as Uber and Lyft, have been hypothesized to both complement compete with public transit. Existing research on the topic is limited by a lack of detailed data timing location TNC trips. This study overcomes that limitation using scraped from Application Programming Interfaces two TNCs, combined Automated Passenger Count transit use other sup...

background: seat belts have been proven as one of the most successful means of preventing or reducing injuries to occupants of cars during an accident. this paper examines the reasons behind the non-compliance of the seat belt law in malaysia and suggests possible measures to get the percentage of seat belt usage up higher. methods: various databases of articles were searched for seat belt usag...

Air travel is becoming increasingly more accessible to people both through the availability of cheap flights and because the airlines are now able to cater for individuals of all ages and disabilities. Air travels, especially for long haul, may cause both physiological and psychological discomfort to passenger. Passenger comfort is clearly a main factor in user’s acceptance of transportation sy...
