An operational information systems architecture for assessing sustainable transportation planning: principles and design

An operational information systems architecture for assessing sustainable transportation planning: principles and design.

This paper offers the description of an integrated information system framework for the assessment of transportation planning and management. After an introductory exposition, in the first part of the paper, a broad overview of international experiences regarding information systems on transportation is given, focusing in particular on the relationship between transportation system's performanc...

Indicators for Sustainable Transportation Planning

work of Abraham and Hunt (1, 2). PECAS combines concepts from traditional Walrasian (general equilibrium) economics with random utility theory. Random utility theory permits the representation of heterogeneous goods and actors with heterogeneous tastes in which the prices of goods vary by zone. The implementation of discrete choice theory by the use of logit equations also permits partial utili...

A Stochastic Operational Planning Model for Smart Power Systems

Smart Grids are result of utilizing novel technologies such as distributed energy resources, and communication technologies in power system to compensate some of its defects. Various power resources provide some benefits for operation domain however, power system operator should use a powerful methodology to manage them. Renewable resources and load add uncertainty to the problem. So, independe...

Public Transportation Systems: Basic Principles of System Design, Operations Planning and Real-Time Control

Preface This document is based on a set of lecture notes prepared in 2007-2010 for the U.C. Berkeley graduate course " CE259-Public Transportation Systems "-a course targeted to first year graduate students with diverse academic backgrounds. The document is different from other books on public transportation systems because it is informal, has a narrower focus and looks at things in a different...
