Schedule-free high-frequency transit operations
High-frequency transit systems are essential for the socioeconomic and environmental well-being of large and dense cities. The planning and control of their operations are important determinants of service quality. Although headway and optimization-based control strategies generally outperform schedule-adherence strategies, high-frequency operations are mostly planned with schedules, in part be...
متن کاملOptimal Slack Time for Schedule-Based Transit Operations
In order to improve service reliability, many transit agencies add a significant amount of slack in the schedule. However, too much slack in the schedule reduces service frequency. We study the problem of determining the optimal slack that minimizes the passengers’ expected waiting times under schedule-based control. By associating with a D/G/c queue model, we show that the system is stable if ...
متن کاملRail Transit Operations Analysis: Framework and Applications
This thesis investigates strategies to improve service quality performance on a rail rapid transit line. Using data sources now commonly available, such as databases in Automatic Transit Supervision systems, an approach is suggested that uses available data and continuing input from agency personnel. The approach aims to draw out local operational and institutional conditions affecting service ...
متن کاملFleet Size and Frequency in Rapid Transit Systems
Given is a set of stations linked by railway tracks, forming an undirected railway network. One or more lines are formed in this network. Each line consists of an origin station, a destination station, and a number of intermediate stations. In order to complete the line configuration, you need to decide the frequency (number of services per hour) and the capacity (number of carriages) for each ...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Transit Schedule Coordination Based on Journey Planner Requests
A two-stage stochastic program that reoptimizes multi-modal transit schedules city-wide is presented. The model works by perturbing or offsetting the schedule such that the expected value of waiting times at all transfer points in the system is minimized. Probabilistic information on transfers is gathered from a prototypical journey planner, a public-facing tool that transit riders query to fin...
