Waiting time and headway modelling for urban transit systems–a critical review and proposed approach

M Ansari Esfeh, SC Wirasinghe, S Saidi… - Transport …, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
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 …

The economics and engineering of bus stops: Spacing, design and congestion

A Tirachini - Transportation research part A: policy and practice, 2014 - Elsevier
This paper re-considers the problem of choosing the number of bus stops along urban
routes, first by estimating the probability of stopping in low demand markets, and second by …

Passenger arrival and waiting time distributions dependent on train service frequency and station characteristics: A smart card data analysis

JB Ingvardson, OA Nielsen, S Raveau… - … Research Part C …, 2018 - Elsevier
Waiting time at public transport stops is perceived by passengers to be more onerous than in-
vehicle time, hence it strongly influences the attractiveness and use of public transport …

Comparing bus holding methods with and without real-time predictions

SJ Berrebi, E Hans, N Chiabaut, JA Laval… - … Research Part C …, 2018 - Elsevier
On high-frequency routes, transit agencies hold buses at control points and seek to dispatch
them with even headways to avoid bus bunching. This paper compares holding methods …

Train timetable design under elastic passenger demand

T Robenek, SS Azadeh, Y Maknoon… - … research Part b …, 2018 - Elsevier
A passenger centric timetable is such a timetable that the satisfaction of the passengers is
maximized. However, these timetables only maximize the probability of a passenger to take …

[图书][B] Methods to estimate railway capacity and passenger delays

A Landex - 2008 - orbit.dtu.dk
This PhD thesis is the result of research work at the Department of Transport at the Technical
University of Denmark. I started working in this department in 2003 when I worked on …

A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns

A Fonzone, JD Schmöcker, R Liu - Transportation Research Procedia, 2015 - Elsevier
If bus service departure times are not completely unknown to the passengers, non-uniform
passenger arrival patterns can be expected. We propose that passengers decide their …

A dynamic station strategy to improve the performance of flex-route transit services

F Qiu, W Li, J Zhang - Transportation Research Part C: Emerging …, 2014 - Elsevier
As an innovative combination of conventional fixed-route transit and demand responsive
service, flex-route transit is currently the most popular type of flexible transit services. This …

Approaching even-load and even-headway transit timetables using different bus sizes

A Ceder, S Hassold, B Dano - Public Transport, 2013 - Springer
In times of climate change and scarce resources, it is essential to reduce emissions and to
use fuel as economically as possible. Naturally, the transportation sector has a high-energy …

Modelling intermodal travel in Switzerland: A recursive logit approach

LM de Freitas, H Becker, M Zimmermann… - … Research Part A: Policy …, 2019 - Elsevier
