Abstract The rapidly aging society of Japan requires a quality transportation system that provides new mobility services combining innovative technologies to include all residents. present study carries out pilot test the world’s first connected public transport between autonomous buses (AB) and light rail transit (LRT). In this system, telecommunication two modes enabled bus fully self-drive p...

Urban rail transit systems are rapidly developing around the world. Due to a great deal of urban traffic pressure, improving the efficiency and capacity of urban rail transit systems is an increasing demand. Because it is a key subsystem of urban rail transit systems, communication-based train control(CBTC) is an automated train control system that makes use of train–ground wireless communicati...

The development of high-speed intelligent rail transit has increased the number of sensors applied on trains. These play an important role in train state control and monitoring. These sensors generally work in a severe environment, so the key problem for sensor data acquisition is to ensure data accuracy and reliability. In this paper, we follow the sequence of sensor signal flow, present senso...

For urban rail transit, how to evaluate passenger’s satisfaction of security work,, and discover the existing problems quantitatively is an important and indispensable subject for better service level during large-scale events or events. This paper focuses on the passengers’ aspect, to do a questionnaire survey during the period of large-scale events, put forward the evaluation index system in ...

This paper presents the problem of scheduling security teams to patrol a mass rapid transit rail network of a large urban city. The main objective of patrol scheduling is to deploy security teams to stations at varying time periods of the network subject to rostering as well as security-related constraints. We present a mathematical programming model for this problem. We then discuss the aspect...

Case-based reasoning (CBR) is a method that uses previous experiences to solve new problems. The characteristics of CBR make it suitable for complex problems related to knowledge reuse. Based on the analysis of the characteristics of emergency events in urban rail transit, a generation method using CBR for emergency scheme is proposed. Certain related technologies, such as case representation, ...

Financing behavior, based on the financing decision made by the owner of urban rail transit projects, will directly affect the capital cost of its operation and the construction schedule of the project. This paper intended to combine financing demand and financing options with the project construction schedule, quality and investment management, and based on DEMATEL methodology, to identify and...

The multimodal trip planning system (MTPS) described in this paper can efficiently identify reasonable journeys. Our methodologies could be implemented in future transit trip information systems. An effective MTPS would be of value to transit agencies or administrators due to the large number of different yet related characteristics of the transit network. In Taiwan, no successful MTPS exists o...
