Abstract: A method is proposed for optimizing the restoration sequence of damaged components in a disrupted rail freight network. Given the network’s demand matrix and capacity settings, a mixed-integer linear program (MILP) model ...

Abstract: This paper presents a schedule-based passenger’s path-choice estimation model for a multioperator rail transit network, using automatic fare collection (AFC) data from both entry and exit stations. By introducing the train ...

Abstract: The advent of driverless vehicles, including automobiles and buses, may considerably affect the competitiveness and ridership of public transportation services in negative as well as positive ways. Since driverless vehicles ...

Abstract: The permission of right‐turn‐on‐red (RTOR) at signalized intersections has operational, fuel consumption and air quality benefits but poses safety hazards, especially for pedestrians. A review and analysis of this pedestrian ...

Abstract: Multiple period optimization models are developed that may be applied to several types of bus transit systems including feeder routes to transfer terminals, radial routes to activity centers, and zonal service operations. ...

Abstract: Dipped track profiles between rail transit stations can significantly reduce propulsive energy, braking energy, and travel times. This work quantifies their potential benefits for circumstances reflected in various values ...

Abstract: To evaluate the travel reliability of an urban rail transit (URT) in normal operation, three travel reliability indicators are proposed from passengers’ travel. The connectivity reliability, travel time reliability, and ...

Abstract: This study analyzed a last-mile fresh food delivery system for individuals in underserved communities. Five alternative delivery networks with various modes were considered: conventional trucks, electric cargo bikes, ...
