Theoretical and Practical Capacities of Transit Modes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The transporting capacities of different transit modes are often discussed, but values quoted for different modes vary widely because of differing assumptions. This paper presents the basic theory of capacity and gives explanation of and insight to three aspects which must be carefully considered in capacity analysis: 1. Way capacity and station capacity of transit modes usually vary greatly; 2. Capacity must be considered together' with service quality, primarily operating safety and speed; and 3. There is a considerable difference b-tween theoretical and practical ·capacities of modes: the latter are important for design.· Disciplines Engineering | Transportation Engineering Comments Presented at the Intersociety Conference of Transportation, Atlanta, 1975.

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...

Expanding public transportation is not enough to solve the urban sprawl problem resulted from an auto-orientation perspective. So urban planning experts paid attention to integrated and coordinated planning of urban development with public transportation, which reached to sustainable urban development. The purpose of this study is to review the researches in transit-oriented development (TOD) a...
متن کاملFlexural Toppling Failure in Rock Slopes: From Theory to Applications
Toppling failure is one of the most common modes of failure of rock slopes in layered rock strata. Flexural toppling is one of the well-known modes of the failure. This type of failure occurs due to bending stress. In this article, a brief yet comprehensive review of toppling failure is presented. Firstly, the conditions and general mechanism of the failure are described. Then, experimental, th...
متن کاملInvestigating on the Effects of Congestion Pricing on Increasing Public Transit Share
Nowadays, traffic management policy in metropolitans is focused on increasing the share of public transit. The limitation of supply and slowing growth of road infrastructures have provided congestion for users who choose personal cars. Therefore, applying demand management policies which decrease the utility of personal cars and increase the tendency to public transit can be very important. Con...
