This paper studies the optimal planning of public transit services with modular vehicles. In
the modular service operation, the vehicle is comprised of smaller modular units/pods, which …

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 …

To deal with the contradiction between oversaturated demand and the restricted transport
infrastructure and capacity during peak periods in a rail transit system, several passenger …

To promote the ridership of connected and autonomous buses (CABs), this paper proposes
to build CAB lanes in urban transportation networks. Three travel modes are considered …

Autonomous vehicles empowered by emerging automation technologies are highly
anticipated to be introduced into public transit service operations in the future mobility …

Implementing autonomous bus services in several cities has garnered substantial research
attention worldwide. However, the benefits and challenges of this emerging mode remain …

Public buses serve a vital role in urban transportation systems by alleviating traffic
congestion, reducing carbon emissions, and providing cost-effective and accessible travel …

This study focuses on the transitioning period of operating mixed fleets of both automated
and human-driven vehicles for public transit services. The type of service investigated here …

Since connected and autonomous buses (CABs) have great potential of being operated in
partially connected environment and raise great impact on mixed traffic flow, this study …

Reservation-based travel is an effective method for managing passenger demand during
public health emergency. It helps limit the number of passengers boarding at each bus stop …
