Public transport provision requires substantial organisational efforts, careful planning,
financial contributions from the public, and coordination between millions of passengers and …

The idea of a smart city is one that utilises Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies and data
analytics to optimise the efficiency of city operations and services, so as to provide a high …

When demand for transportation is low or sparse, traditional transit cannot provide efficient
and good-quality service, due to its fixed structure. New transportation alternatives are …

In this paper we investigate a new form of automated public transportation, named 'modular
transit', configured to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional bus, including the first …

In this paper, a strict formulation of a generalization of the classical pickup and delivery
problem is presented. Here, we add the flexibility of providing the option for passengers to …

This paper analyzes and compares two different relative spatial position (RSP) designs in an
integrated e-hailing/fixed-route transit system: a zone-based design that operates e-hailing …

Fully automated vehicles (AVs) have the potential to drive empty (without a passenger). For
privately-owned AVs, such empty repositioning has the potential benefit of avoiding parking …

In this paper, we develop an insertion heuristic for scheduling Mobility Allowance Shuttle
Transit (MAST) services, an innovative concept that merges the flexibility of Demand …

This paper proposes and analyzes a new transit system that integrates the traditional fixed-
route service with a demand-adaptive service. The demand-adaptive service connects …

We study a hybrid transportation system referred to as mobility allowance shuttle transit
(MAST) where vehicles may deviate from a fixed path consisting of a few mandatory …
