The cost associated with the waiting time that passengers incur in a public transit network is
one of the main components of total transit travel cost. The cost of a unit of waiting time per …

Intelligent transportation systems based on automated data collection frameworks are widely
used by the major transit companies around the globe. This paper describes the current …

Due to increasing environmental concerns and energy prices, what is very important but has
not been given due consideration is the energy efficiency of metro rail systems. Train energy …

This paper proposes a bi-level transit network design problem where the transit routes and
frequency settings are determined simultaneously. The upper-level problem is formulated as …

It is complex and difficult to perform the vehicle scheduling of urban bus lines, which is
important to reduce the operational cost and improve the quality of public transportation …

Optimizing highway alignment requires a versatile set of cost functions and an efficient
search method to achieve the best design. Because of numerous highway design …

This paper employs the Memetic algorithm (MA) to optimize the urban transit network.
Aiming at the optimal route configuration and service frequency for the urban transit network …

Transit network timetabling aims at determining the departure time of each trip of all lines in
order to facilitate passengers transferring either to or from a bus. In this paper, we consider a …

Abstract Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications in public transportation have
allowed for automated data collection, which is particularly useful for planning and …

Last-train timetables are significant in metro systems and directly influence transportation
organization efficiency and passenger service levels. This study focuses on the collaborative …
