It is a common practice for transit lines with fluctuating passenger demands to use demand-
driven bus scheduling to reduce passenger waiting time and avoid bus overcrowding …

Although urban transit systems (UTS) often have fixed vehicle capacity and relatively
constant departure headways, they may need to accommodate dramatically fluctuating …

Shuttle bus services play a vital role in public transit systems. However, conventional shuttle
bus systems use the same type of buses and fixed departure timetables. They fail to meet …

Bus headways are typically susceptible to external disturbances (eg, due to traffic
congestion, clustered passenger arrivals, and special passenger needs), which create gaps …

Public transport is considered as one of the most suitable candidates to benefit from
autonomous driving technologies. In this research, we develop a mathematical modeling …

Urban public transportation agencies sometimes have to operate mixing vehicles of different
sizes on their routes, due to resource limitations or historical reasons. Services with different …

This paper presents new models for multiple depot vehicle scheduling problem (MDVS) and
multiple depot vehicle scheduling problem with route time constraints (MDVSRTC). The …

The use of electric buses (EBs) can help reduce vehicle emissions and improve our
environment. However, it brings new challenges in transit operations due to the limited …

Since passenger demand in urban transit systems is asymmetrically distributed across
different periods in a day and different geographic locations across the cities, the tradeoff …

Existing peak/off-peak based schedules in urban mass transit systems feature two types of
dispatch headways and a fixed vehicle capacity across the operational horizon, which …
