Abstract: A significant part of the world, especially in most of the Asian countries, has heterogeneous traffic characterized by diverse vehicles, changing composition, lack of lane discipline, etc., resulting in a very complex ...

Abstract: A transit route network design (TRND) problem for urban bus operation involves the determination of a set of transit routes and the associated frequencies that achieve the desired objective. This can be formulated as an ...

Abstract: The traffic flow at intersections is generally chaotic, and signalization is a control measure to reduce this chaos. Heterogeneous traffic at signalized intersections behave much differently from homogeneous traffic. Also, ...

Abstract: A traffic network design problem attempts to find optimal network expansion policies under budget constraints. This can be formulated as a bilevel optimization problem: the upper level determines the optimal link capacity ...

Abstract: The transit route network design (TRND) problem seeks a set of bus routes and schedules that is optimal in the sense that it maximizes the utility of an urban bus system for passengers while minimizing operator cost. Because ...

Abstract: Car-following behavior forms the kernel of traffic microsimulation models and is extensively studied for similar vehicle types. However, in heterogeneous traffic having a diverse mix of vehicles, following behavior also ...

Abstract: The writers present a procedure for resource allocation among transit agencies for transit fleet management, specifically focusing on the purchase of new buses and rebuilding of existing buses. The model is formulated as ...

Abstract: Vehicles in homogeneous traffic follow lane-based movement and can be conveniently modeled using car-following and lane-changing models. The former deals with longitudinal movement behavior, while the latter deals with ...

Abstract: Conventional transportation network design problems treat origin-destination (OD) demand as fixed, which may not be true in reality. Some recent studies model fluctuations in OD demand by considering the first and the ...

Abstract: Recent interest in developing activity-based models of transport demand has encouraged research on the design and administration of activity diaries. Activities occur in time and space. Traditionally, these two dimensions ...
