The efficiency of a transport system depends on several elements, such as available
technology, governmental policies, the planning process, and control strategies. Indeed, the …

In this literature review, we systematically review studies on public transit control with a
specific focus on at-stop measures. In our synthesis of the relevant literature, we consider …

The effects of high passenger density at bus stops, at rail stations, inside buses and trains
are diverse. This paper examines the multiple dimensions of passenger crowding related to …

This book examines the main components affecting the viability of a public-transport service
from both the passenger and agency perspectives, and offers solutions to well-known …

Bus bunching affects transit operations by increasing passenger waiting times and its
variability. This work proposes a new mathematical programming model to control vehicles …

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 …

This paper describes the network shapes and operating characteristics that allow a transit
system to deliver an accessibility level competitive with that of the automobile. To provide …

Schedule-based or headway-based control schemes to reduce bus bunching are not
resilient because they cannot prevent buses from losing ground to the buses they follow …

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 …

Timetable generation is a subproblem of bus network strategic planning, in which the
departure time of each trip is determined. We study the bus network of Monterrey, Mexico …
