Abstract: Developing an optimal train speed profile for energy-efficient train operation is significant in both theory and applications but very difficult and complex to achieve. An optimization method that minimizes energy consumption ...

Abstract: Despite the high percentage of large truck trips on Interstate roadways, only 24% of fatal truck crashes occurred on these roadways. About 59% of large truck fatal crashes occurred on undivided highways that do not have ...

Abstract: Travel time prediction has been an interesting research area for decades during which various prediction models have been developed. This paper discusses the results and accuracy generated by different prediction models ...

Abstract: This study develops a time-driven train performance simulation (TPS) model consisting of train traction module, track alignment module, and train control module, which is applied to emulate the movement of a train, calculate ...

Abstract: Transit operations are interrupted frequently by stochastic variations in traffic and ridership conditions that deteriorate schedule or headway adherence and thus lengthen passenger wait times. Providing passengers with ...

Abstract: Urban rail transit (URT) has become one of the main carriers to undertake passenger transportation tasks in large and medium-sized cities. However, station failures can reduce the efficiency of passenger travel and the ...
