Fare Estimation using Automated Fare Collection System in Buses

Nowadays the public transportation system like the metro are well advanced. Passenger safety, convenience and the need to improve the performance of existing public transportation is driving demand for intelligent transportation system in the market. The paper we introduce, proposes a novel fare estimation technique using Automated Fare Collection (AFC) System and Radio Frequency Identification...

Fare well, Human Reproduction.

Bob Edwards and Jean Cohen, the ‘Founding Fathers’ of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE), wanted to create a journal for their newly founded scientific society on a par with Fertility and Sterility, the well-established journal of the American Fertility Society (now ASRM). So Human Reproduction (HR) started in 1986 with Bob Edwards, the first editor. He was instru...

Fare Planning for Public Transport

In this paper we introduce the fare planning problem for public transport which consists in designing a system of fares maximizing revenue. We propose a new simple general model for this problem. It is based on a demand function and constraints for the different fares. The constraints define the structure of the fare system, e.g., distance dependent fares or zone fares. We discuss a simple exam...

Fare Evasion in Transit Networks

Public transit systems in urban areas usually require large state subsidies, primarily due to high fare evasion rates. In this paper, we study new models for optimizing fare inspection strategies in transit networks based on bilevel programming. In the first level, the leader (the network operator) determines probabilities for inspecting passengers at different locations, while in the second le...
