Public transport service reliability is crucial for all stakeholders, including users, operators,
and society. Bus bunching, where two or more buses on the same route travel closely …

Network-based systems are at the core of our everyday life. Whether it is electronic
networking, electricity grids or transportation, users expect the networks to function properly …

Headway fluctuation and bus bunching are commonly observed in transit operations, while
holding control is a proven strategy to reduce bus bunching and improve service reliability. A …

Waiting time at public transport stops is perceived by passengers to be more onerous than in-
vehicle time, hence it strongly influences the attractiveness and use of public transport …

The complexity and resilience of urban public transit network (PTN) are the interdisciplinary
study area between transportation engineering and system science, which is a good …

We propose a robust optimization model for limited-stop bus service with vehicle overtaking
and demand dynamics. Time-dependent stochastic travel time is also considered. The …

The planning of attractive and cost efficient public transport schedules, ie, timetables and
corresponding vehicle schedules is a highly complex optimization process involving many …

We propose a robust schedule coordination scheme which combines timetable planning
with a semi-flexible departure delayed control strategy in case of disruptions. The flexibility is …

Bus bunching severely deteriorates the quality of transit service with poor on-time
performance and excessive waiting time. To mitigate bus bunching, this paper presents a …

Headway fluctuations and “bus bunching” are well known phenomena on many bus routes
where an initial delay to one service can disturb the whole schedule due to resulting …
