and lacks the specificity needed to identify potential system vulnerabilities, assess risk, and prioritize responses. This report outlines a geographic information system–based method with which transportation departments can assess vulnerabilities to climate change in their multimodal surface transportation systems. The city of Portland, Oregon, is used as an illustrative case study. The propo...

We study the problem of finding multimodal journeys in transportation networks, including unrestricted walking, driving, cycling, and schedule-based public transportation. A natural solution to this problem is to use multicriteria search, but it tends to be slow and to produce too many journeys, several of which are of little value. We propose algorithms to compute a full Pareto set and then sc...

The rapid development of multimodal transportation system prompts travellers to choose multiple transportation modes, such as private vehicles or taxi, transit (subways or buses), or park-and-ride combinations for urban trips. Traffic corridor is a major scenario that supports travellers to commute from suburban residential areas to central working areas. Studying their modal choice behaviour i...

The growth of transportation networks and their increasing interconnections, although positive, has the downside effect of an increasing complexity which make them difficult to use, to assess, and limits their efficiency. On average in the UK, 23% of travel time is lost in connections for trips with more than one mode, and the lack of synchronization decreases very slowly with population size. ...

In the family of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Multimodal Transport (MMTS) have placed themselves as a mainstream transportation mean our time feasible integrative process. The Global Economy progressed with help transportation. volume goods and distances covered doubled in last ten years, so there is high demand an optimized transportation, fast but low costs, saving resources also...

A modal shift from road transport towards inland water or rail transport could reduce the total Green House Gas emissions and societal impact associated with Municipal Solid Waste management. However, this shift will take place only if demonstrated to be at least cost-neutral for the decision makers. In this paper we examine the feasibility of using multimodal truck and inland water transport, ...

Abstract To estimate impacts, support cost–benefit analyses, and enable project prioritization, it is necessary to identify the area of influence a transportation infrastructure project. For freight related projects, like ports, state-of-the-practice methods such areas ignore complex interactions among multimodal supply chains can be improved by examining trips made from facility. While travel ...
