Identifying Urban Structure Based on Transit-Oriented Development

The Influence of Urban Form, Socio-Demographics, And Transit-Oriented Development on Journey-to-Work Characteristics

Network design for personal rapid transit under transit-oriented development

This study addresses guideway network design for personal rapid transit (PRT) favoring transit-oriented development. The guideway network design problem seeks to minimize both the guideway construction cost and users’ travel time. In particular, a set of optional points, known as Steiner points, are introduced in the graph to reduce the guideway length. The model is formulated as a combined Ste...

Transit Oriented Development – making it happen

Transit oriented developments (TODs), be they greenfields developments, in-fill or redevelopments of existing sites, have been included as a key component within a number of recent metropolitan strategies within Australia, including the South East Queensland regional plan. Responding to increasingly extended journeys-to-work and other trip movements, TODs are one land use planning intervention ...

Demand-oriented timetable design for urban rail transit under stochastic demand

In the context of public transportation system, improving the service quality and robustness through minimizing the average passengers waiting time is a real challenge. This study provides robust stochastic programming models for train timetabling problem in urban rail transit systems. The objective is minimization of the weighted summation of the expected cost of passenger waiting time, its va...

The Role of Urban Infrastructure in Supporting Transit-Oriented Development 4-10-17

It is widely recognized by scientific communities that human activity is altering Earth’s atmospheric composition and contributing to global climate change. Greenhouse gases (GHG), while naturally occurring elements, absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range1. Activities that emit GHGs, such as transportation, manufacturing, and land use changes, concentrate these gases though...
