The main purpose of this study is to design a transit network of routes for handling actual-
size road networks. This transit-network design problem is known to be complex and …

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 …

This paper proposes a detailed formulation to optimize transit road space priority at the
network level and utilizes an efficient heuristic method to find the optimum solution. Previous …

A new methodology to optimize transit priority is proposed in this paper. Having a higher
passenger capacity than private cars, transit vehicles can increase the passenger …

Spatial equity is an extremely important issue in both design of a new and redesign of an
existing transit (and highway) network because it is concerned with the benefit distribution …

Line planning is the first important strategic element in the railway operation planning
process, which will directly affect the successive planning to determine the efficiency of the …

Bus system design is a difficult problem, and hence is usually decomposed into a series of
sub-problems solved sequentially. Bus network design is foremost in this series of problems …

This paper proposes a new method for public transport (PT) network optimization that
considers the entire PT chain from door-to-door and allows flexible line alignments. The …

This study examines ferry routes that arrive at a Central Business District (CBD) during peak
periods. Ferries are investigated because in certain locations they provide an alternative to …

With the growth of geographic information systems (GIS) in transportation analysis,
opportunities exist to utilize GIS functionality specifically in transit planning. This paper …
