Demand-oriented timetable design for urban rail transit under stochastic demand

Optimizing Urban Rail Timetable under Time-dependent Demand and Oversaturated Conditions

This article focuses on optimizing a passenger train timetable in a heavily congested urban rail corridor. When peak-hour demand temporally exceeds the maximum loading capacity of a train unit, passengers may not be able to board the next arrival train, and they may be forced to wait in queues for the following trains. Based on time-dependent, origin-to-destination trip records from an automati...

Creating Bus Timetables Under Stochastic Demand

Local bus network is the most popular transit mode and the only available transit mode in the majority of cities of the world. Increasing the utility of this mode which increases its share from urban trips is an important goal for city planners. Timetable setting as the second component of bus network design problem (network route design timetable setting vehicle assignment crew assignment) hav...

Performance Analysis of Stop-Skipping Scheduling Plans in Rail Transit under Time-Dependent Demand

Stop-skipping is a key method for alleviating congestion in rail transit, where schedules are sometimes difficult to implement. Several mechanisms have been proposed and analyzed in the literature, but very few performance comparisons are available. This study formulated train choice behavior estimation into the model considering passengers' perception. If a passenger's train path can be identi...
