Structure of Competitive Transit Networks
This paper describes the network shapes and operating characteristics that allow a transit system to deliver a level of service competitive with that of the automobile. To provide exhaustive results for service regions of different sizes and demographics, the paper idealizes these regions as squares, and their possible networks with a broad and realistic family that combines the grid and the hu...
متن کاملNetwork interconnection with competitive transit
We examine the interaction between two interconnected networks (e.g., two local exchange carriers (LECs)) and a third network (e.g., an interexchange carrier (IXC)) seeking access to their customer base. The IXC could either interconnect with both LECs or interconnect with only one LEC and transit calls to the other LEC via the first LEC s network. We show that there is a wide set of cases in w...
متن کاملPartitioning of Public Transit Networks
Partitioning of public transit networks is a useful approach to speed up the query times or the preprocessing phase of public transit routing algorithms. The aim of partitioning of public transit networks is to find small partitions of the stations of a given network such that most of the traffic lies in their inside while only little traffic goes between them. To find such partitions of the pu...
متن کاملReliability-Based Transit Assignment for Congested Stochastic Transit Networks
This paper proposes a Nonlinear Complementarity Problem (NCP) formulation for the risk-aversive stochastic transit assignment problem in which in-vehicle travel time, waiting time, capacity and the effect of congestion are considered as stochastic variables simultaneously and both their means and variances are incorporated into the formulation. A new congestion model is developed and captured i...
متن کاملBus Transit Service Planning and Operations in a Competitive Environment
Transit services are currently facing several challenges in the United States and around the world. For many reasons, among which the fluctuations in gas prices and the state of the economy are the major ones, transit demand has noticed a considerable increase. The challenge that transit agencies are facing is to make these increases permanent by maintaining transit’s competitive edge over the ...
