Evaluation of Waiting Time and Transport Costs with Simulation in Urban Bus Transport

Public transport fleet scheduling for minimizing total transfer waiting time

Public transportation has been one of the most important research fields in the two last decades. The purpose of this paper is to create a schedule for public transport fleets such as buses and metro trains with the goal of minimizing the total transfer waiting time. We extend previous research works in the field of transit schedule with considering headways of each route as decision variables....

Finding the nearest facility for travel and waiting time in a transport network

One of user's queries from navigation service is to find the nearest facility in terms of time. The facility that is being questioned by the user as a destination may have a queuing service system (e.g. bank), which means that the cost function of the shortest path includes the waiting time at the destination as well as the travel time. This research conducts in the zone 1 of Mashhad with Bank ...

Ergonomic Assessment of the Sit-Stand Seat on Urban Bus Transport

Background and Objectives: In recent years, due to the rapid growth of metropolitan cities and the shortage of urban public transport means, including urban bus transportation, many people are forced to travel in a standing position when using these vehicles. This situation may cause pain and discomfort and non-collision injuries for passengers. The purpose of this study was ergonomic assessmen...

Urban Transport Corridor Mesoscopic Simulation

Currently different categories of traffic analysis tools exist. Among them simulation models can be marked as one of the most powerful approach to do traffic analysis researches. In classical literature simulation models are divided on macroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic models. Microscopic and macroscopic modelling are well known and widely used, but both of them have disadvantages and lim...
