Reliability in Urban Public Transport Network Assessment and Design

University of Technology. I am grateful to both Piet and Rob. Together they supported my research from both the theoretical and the practical point of view. Despite of the fact that combining these two aspects is a difficult task, they supported me and encouraged the progress of my research. I would like to express my appreciation to all my committee members for the time spent on reviewing my t...

A modeling framework for urban traffic systems microscopic simulation

In this paper a modeling framework for urban traffic systems (UTS) is presented. The model, used for agent based microsimulation, describes both the traffic network and dynamic entities, namely vehicles, traffic lights, and pedestrians. The framework allows defining systematically the necessary components and their behavior of a model oriented to event driven simulation, which can be executed i...

Urban Public Transport Challenges

This paper focuses on a number of challenges faced by the public transport industry and the prospects for resolution. Many of the issues are often shrouded in ideology, politics and prejudices that typically cloud the real merits of a solution. We argue that public transport is increasingly a niche provider of land passenger transport services, which if positioned and managed better will be cap...
