Evaluation of Congestion Mitigation Measures for Public Transport Using Transit Assignment Model

Modelling seat congestion in transit assignment

the use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...

Efficient Traffic Assignment for Public Transit Networks

We study the problem of computing traffic assignments for public transit networks: Given a public transit network and a demand (i.e. a list of passengers, each with associated origin, destination, and departure time), the objective is to compute the utilization of every vehicle. Efficient assignment algorithms are a core component of many urban traffic planning tools. In this work, we present a...

Application of the Origin-Based Algorithm in a Transit Assignment Problem for Congested Public Transport Systems

The Transit Assignment Problem for congested public transport systems based on the formulation of De Cea and Fernandez (1993) has asymmetric cost functions that can be solved, among others methods, by the diagonalización procedure. In this work, an implementation of the origin based algorithm proposed by Bar-Gera (1999) is used to solve the convex problems generated by the diagonalización proce...

Investigating on the Effects of Congestion Pricing on Increasing Public Transit Share

Nowadays, traffic management policy in metropolitans is focused on increasing the share of public transit. The limitation of supply and slowing growth of road infrastructures have provided congestion for users who choose personal cars. Therefore, applying demand management policies which decrease the utility of personal cars and increase the tendency to public transit can be very important. Con...
