Abstract: This paper presents a descriptive analysis of the historical evolution of personal travel behavior in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) over the past 35 years. The analysis indicates that in many respects the GTA taken as a ...

Abstract: This paper addresses two questions regarding transportation data collection in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, based on analysis of data needs and a review of international data collection practices. First, will the current ...

Abstract: The main purpose of conventional transit systems is to serve concentrated travel patterns in urban areas, where they usually have high levels of success. Unconventional transit modes have also found success in specific ...

Abstract: This paper describes the development and the main components of a simulation framework aimed to model the bus transit network evolution. The prediction model of transit network evolution (P-TRANE) is a geographic information ...

Abstract: This research presents an automatic procedure for calibrating transit-assignment model parameters. The calibration process targets the optimal set of parameter values by ensuring that the assignment output volumes match ...

Abstract: Real-world applications of conventional public transport technologies in urban areas might not always be feasible due to several factors that are not necessarily attributed to passenger demand, such as the very high capital ...

Abstract: The time required to transfer between different transit lines is a critical component of passenger travel time. Although transit agencies attempt to design well-coordinated timetables among intersecting lines at the ...
