The idea of a smart city is one that utilises Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies and data
analytics to optimise the efficiency of city operations and services, so as to provide a high …

This paper presents a joint optimization of the timetable, bus formation, and vehicle
scheduling in a flexible public transport (PT) system that utilizes autonomous modular …

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 …

We investigate the integrated optimization of rolling stock allocation and train timetables
(RATT) in an urban rail transit network with multiple connected lines and rolling stock …

The collaborative design of the timetable and dynamic-capacity allocation plan of emerging
modular vehicles (MVs) is a promising solution to the mismatch between supply and …

This paper focuses on the operation design of a future public transit service adopting
modular vehicles. The unique feature of modular vehicles allows for assembling and …

The stochastic nature of public transport systems leads to headway variability and bus
bunching, causing both operator and passenger cost to increase significantly. Traditional …

While advancements in vehicular and wireless communication technologies are shaping the
future of our transportation system, emergency medical services (EMS) are not receiving …

With the emerging of virtual coupling technologies, the concept of train platoon, where
different vehicles can be flexibly and dynamically grouped or decoupled, has become a hot …

In recent years the concept of virtual coupling, where multiple train units are virtually coupled
into a platoon with very short following distances, has received considerable attention in the …
