This document describes the application of a differentially private algorithm to release public transport usage data from Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW), Australia. The data consists of two separate weeks of “tap-on/tap-off” data of individuals who used any of the four different modes of public transport from TfNSW: buses, light rail, train and ferries. These taps are recorded through th...

Cars in rail freight service follow prescribed routes from their origin via intermediate shunting yards to their destination. The goal in designing such routes is to reduce the number of trains and their travel distances. Various real-world hard constraints make the problem difficult to formulate and also to solve. We present integer programming formulations for this car routing problem arising...

ITE JOURNAL / SEPTEMBER 2003 RAIL FREIGHT TRANSPORT IN EUROPE—TIME FOR A CHANGE While transport in Europe has grown at an annual rate of 2.5 to 3 percent over the last 20 years, rail transport has experienced a significant decline. This process may be appreciated by comparing figures from 1970 and 1999: In 1970, railway market share in the European Union (EU) was registered at 21 percent. By 19...

In recent years, China keeps working on restructuring the country’s multimodal transport and highly develops high-speed rail (HSR) infrastructure to improve efficiency. As economic engine of China, Yangtze River Delta region leading HSR development transporting modal transformation within whole country. The fast one hand improves passengers’ travel efficiency and, other hand, releases capacity ...

Introduction In recent years there have been major changes in the composition of cargo to the point where, in Europe, semi-finished products (e.g. car parts) and finished goods represent the greatest transport demand. This type of cargo is typically of lower density and higher value (LDHV) than previous goods and requires faster and more reliable transportation. Currently, LDHV goods are predom...

In the current situation, the automobile has become the main means of locomotion. It allows traveling long distances, encouraging urban sprawl. To counteract this trend, the train is often proposed as an alternative to the car. Simultaneously, the favoring of urban development around public transport nodes such as railway stations is one of the main issues of the coordination between urban plan...

Background Transport policy and practice impacts health. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are regulated public policy mechanisms that can be used to consider the health impacts of major transport projects before they are approved. The way health is considered in these environmental assessments (EAs) is not well known. This research asked: How and to what extent was human health considere...

The land-transportation cannot meet its demands anymore. Jammed highways and cities, dangerous emissions, omnipresent traffic accidents, delays, expensive railways.
 Solutions are being sought to transfer a large part of passenger- especially freight-traffic (high-speed) rail the efforts shifting towards electromobility, car-sharing, 5G-connectivity, autonomous ride, MaaS-transport-coordin...
