The cost associated with the waiting time that passengers incur in a public transit network is
one of the main components of total transit travel cost. The cost of a unit of waiting time per …

Train timetable is of critical importance for an urban rail transit line, chiefly because it is the
primary factor determining passenger perception of service quality. As it not only delivers …

Delivering efficient transit services to users is the main objective of public transportation
systems. Thus, rail transit systems seek to schedule train services in order to avoid …

Urban rail planning is extremely complex, mainly because it is a decision problem under
different uncertainties. In practice, travel demand is generally uncertain, and therefore, the …

Supplying affordable and efficient transportation services to the users is one of the main
tasks of the public transport systems. In this study, the objective is the minimization of the …

In this chapter, the different basic assumptions for the development of assignment models to
transit networks (frequency-based, schedule-based) are presented together with the …

Insufficient multimodal transportation infrastructure in Indian cities increases travel time,
waiting time, traffic congestion, traffic accidents, travel costs, fast-growing energy …

This paper focuses on developing mathematical optimization models for the train timetabling
problem with respect to dynamic travel demand and capacity constraints. The train …

Metro systems in megacities such as Beijing, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou are under great
passenger demand pressure. During peak hours, it is common to see oversaturated …

Realtime bus waiting time information is of great importance to the intelligent public
transportation system and is beneficial for improving user satisfaction by online map …
