We propose a new structured transit system with flexible bus line length based on the real-
time requests of passengers. This operation mode can meet the travel demands of …

In this paper, a combination transit operating strategy which consists of a system of short-
turn and full-length trips operating along the same route is presented. The critical issue in …

Abstract Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a highly effective traffic mode to relieve urban traffic
congestion. To improve the operational efficiency of the BRT, a new schedule optimization …

To reduce the operating cost and running time of demand responsive transit between urban
and rural areas, a DBSCAN K-means (DK-means) clustering algorithm, which is based on …

Flexibility of scheduling and operation are important factors of bus rapid transit (BRT).
Determining the headway and routes combinations according to the travel demand is the …

This study proposes a flexible timetable optimization method based on hybrid vehicle size
model to tackle the bus demand fluctuations in transit operation. Three different models for …

Efficiently designed limited-stop transit service is an attractive way to respond to high
commuter travel demand in which trips concentrate on a few origin–destination pairs during …

Nowadays, an express/local mode has be studied and applied in the operation of urban rail
transit, and it has been proved to be beneficial for the long‐distance travel. The optimization …

In view of the conflict between the time‐variation of urban rail transit passenger demand and
the homogeneity of the train timetable, this paper takes into account the interests of both …

Traditional customized buses travel on fixed routes, which cannot satisfy passengers'
flexibility and convenience requirements. This paper studies a demand-responsive transit …
