In Brazil, Public Bus Transportation (PBT) responds for the most part of displacements. However, due to low level of services provided by bus operators and the increase of informal/non-regulated transportation, there has been a sharp decrease on demand. In this context, planning agencies need now to focus on efforts towards comprehension and development of strategies to satisfy various necessit...

Recent scientific literature focuses on answering Earliest Arrival (EA), Latest Departure (LD) and Shortest Duration (SD) queries in (schedule-based) public transportation networks. Unfortunately, most of the existing solutions operate in main memory, making the proposed methods hard to scale for larger instances and difficult to integrate in a multi-user environment. This work proposes PTLDB (...

Wayfinding Wayfinding is a complex human activity involving moving along while evaluating alternatives and making decisions. It is defined as a spatial problem solving process with the three sub-processes decision-making, decision execution, and information processing. In our research we focus on the information processing aspect of wayfinding. Our main scientific goal is a cognitively plausibl...

Let's read! We will often find out this sentence everywhere. When still being a kid, mom used to order us to always read, so did the teacher. Some books are fully read in a week and we need the obligation to support reading. What about now? Do you still love reading? Is reading only for you who have obligation? Absolutely not! We here offer you a new book enPDFd integrating routing decisions in...

We investigate the effects of mobile-sourced ridesharing via platforms like Uber, Lyft, and Didi Chuxing on the use of public transit systems. Our study uses trip-level data about Uber usage in New York City, turnstile data about subway usage, and trip-level data about taxicab and shared bike usage. We find that on the surface, ridesharing and subway usage are positively correlated. Exploiting ...

The increased human mobility, combined with high use of private cars, increases the load on the environment and raises issues about the quality of life. The use of private cars lends to high levels of air pollution in cities, parking problems, noise pollution, congestion, and the resulting low transfer velocity (and, thus, inefficiency in the use of public resources). Public transportation serv...

OpenTripPlanner was identified as the most promising open source multimodal trip planning software. OpenStreetMap, which provides mapping data to OpenTripPlanner, is one of the most well-known open source international repository of geographic data. General Transit Feed Specification, which provides transportation data to OpenTripPlanner, has been the standard for describing transit systems and...

The bus system in a high-speed public transportation systems are equipped with modern technology that due to accuracy, speed and flexibility have been considered as one of the improvement solutions in Tehran's public transport system. In this article the performance of BRT line three of Tehran has been evaluated based on the established standard in 2013, developed by the Institute for Developme...

Traffic congestion that results from the increased traffic demand due to the creation of new infrastructure (i.e., a newly built highway) has become a very serious problem in Korea that causes unnecessary social cost. To solve this problem, more effective transportation demand management should be considered simultaneously with the promotion of public transportation. New policies that promote t...
