While transferring between public transport services has a negative impact on the level-of-
service, it is an inevitable feature of public transport networks. Transfer coordination can …

Schedule coordination is a proven strategy to improve the connectivity and service quality
for bus networks, whereas current research mostly optimizes schedule design using the a …

Bus bunching is a long-standing problem in transit operation and ruining the regularity of
transit service. In a typical urban transit network setting of multiple lines with a shared …

In China, overlapped routes from multiple bus lines are widespread. Some buses are
overcrowded while others have few passengers. The goal of this study is to reduce onboard …

In transit corridors, multiple lines share a sequence of consecutive stops to provide higher
joint frequency in higher demand areas. A key challenge is to coordinate the transition from …

We study the bus synchronization timetabling problem (BST) including bus dwelling times,
motivated by the night shift of the transit system operating in Santiago-Chile. The operation …

In recent decades, the main focus of public transport operations has been increasing its
speed. Increasing speed not only allows for faster trips but also a higher frequency with the …

In public transport (PT) operations planning, timetable synchronization is a useful strategy to
reduce inter-route or inter-modal passenger transfer waiting time and provide a well …

To mitigate the problems caused by bus route overlap in the transit network, this paper
proposes a new scheduling method with both large and small vehicle types based on …

In this study, we present a bi-objective partially-integrated optimisation approach for
frequency setting and timetabling problems, assuming that buses' speed depends on the …
