We present a mixed integer linear program for the rapid transit network design problem with
static modal competition. Previous discrete formulations cannot handle modal competition …

The planning of transit services is vital to transit-oriented metropolises. It is a complex, multi-
objective decision process, especially for services operated by the private sector. Traveler's …

The paper introduces a new method for solving the transit network design problem in a
multimodal, demand elastic urban context. The mathematical formulation as an optimization …

This paper proposes a tractable model for the design of a rapid transit system. Travel cost is
minimized and traffic capture is maximized. The problem is modeled on an undirected graph …

In this paper we examine the transit network design problem under the assumption of elastic
demand, focusing on the problem of designing the frequencies of a regional metro. In this …

Traditionally, network design and line planning have been studied as two different phases in
the planning process of public transportation. At the strategic level approaches dealing with …

We study the problem of the optimal design of routes and frequencies in urban public transit
systems, the Transit Network Design Problem (TNDP), which is modeled as a multi-objective …

Existing research on the transit network design problem has tended to focus on minimizing
the various costs for both transit operators and users. However, to implement an appropriate …

This thesis tackles the Urban Transit Network Design Problem (UTNDP) which involves
determining an efficient set of routes and schedules for public transit networks. The UTNDP …

This paper examines a multi-period capacity expansion problem for rapid transit network
design. The capacity expansion is realized through the location of train alignments and …
