چکیده
The rapid transit network design problem consists on the location of the train alignments and stations in an urban traffic context. The location problem incorporates the demand decisions about the mode and route that they choose to realize the urban trips. The capacity expansion incorporates to the location problem some relevant criteria about the cost of the investment and the future utilization of the infrastructure. Some basic methodology to be used in this context is considered.

Application of A Route Expansion Algorithm for Transit Routes Design in Grid Networks
Establishing a network of transit routes with satisfactory demand coverage is one of the main goals of transitagencies in moving towards a sustainable urban development. A primary concern in obtaining such anetwork is reducing operational costs. This paper deals with the problem of minimizing construction costsin a grid transportation network while satisfying a certain level o...
متن کاملUrban rapid transit network capacity expansion
This paper examines a multi-period capacity expansion problem for rapid transit network design. The capacity expansion is realized through the location of train alignments and stations in an urban traffic context by selecting the time periods. The model maximizes the public transportation demand using a limited budget and designing lines for each period. The location problem incorporates the us...

متن کاملAdvanced OR and AI Methods in Transportation A RAPID TRANSIT NETWORK DESIGN MODEL IN REGARD TO TRANSFERS
In this paper we propose a model for the problem of designing a rapid transit network which includes transfers. Our objective is to maximize the number of expected users in the transit network taking limited budgets into consideration. Additionally, the existing competition between private and public modes is assumed when the generalized cost for the user trips is calculated. Some computational...
متن کاملA 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...
