Improving the public transit system for routes with scheduled headways

Improving Timetable Quality in Scheduled Transit Networks

This work deals with an original problem with regard to the traditionally sequential planning process in public transit networks. This problem aims at modifying the network’s timetables without rendering the vehicle and driver schedules obsolete. The objective is to improve the quality of service for passengers through number and quality of transfers. This approach goes in the opposite directio...

An Intelligent System Proposal for Improving the Safety and Accessibility of Public Transit by Highway

The development of public transit systems that are accessible and safe for everyone, including people with special needs, is an objective that is justified from the civic and economic points of view. Unfortunately, public transit services are conceived for people who do not have reduced physical or cognitive abilities. In this paper, we present an intelligent public transit system by highway wi...

A Decision Support System for Urban Journey Planning in Multimodal Public Transit Network

The goal of this paper is to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) as a journey planner in complex and large multimodal urban network called Rahyar. Rahyar attempts to identify the most desirable itinerary among all feasible alternatives. The desirability of an itinerary is measured by a disutility function, which is defined as a weighted sum of some criteria. The weight...

A Coverage Model for Improving Public Transit System Accessibility and Expanding Access

Accessible and efficient service are vital features of well-utilized public transit systems. Modeling approaches to support the evaluation of transit operations for management and planning are essential for continued improvement. A hybrid coverage model is developed in this paper for simultaneously expanding service access and increasing accessibility. This paper discusses the use and integrati...
