Urban mobility is a major challenge in modern societies. Increasing the infrastructure’s physical capacity has proven to be unsustainable from a socio-economical perspective. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) emerge in this context, aiming to make a more efficient use of existing road networks by means of new technologies. In this paper we address the route choice problem, in which drive...

The design of public transportation networks is complex and can include conflicting objectives. Networks designed to minimise travel time may not fulfil the requirement of maximum coverage and accessibility. In this context, a multi-criteria approach for transit alignment design has been developed to maximise a range of objectives using census data. Whenever a subdivision is developed in a subu...

Subject review Emergency traffic management calls for integration of strategies covering advanced information collecting/disseminating fallibilities, and effective message broadcast system. Approximate "permanent" alternate routes combining intelligent transportation system measures could objectively play a vital role in supporting the category of specific congestion alleviation and incident ma...

Personal paths capture “personal meaningful places” [13, 14] in temporal sequence. Knowledge of a user’s paths enables novel and useful features for location-aware applications, e.g., traffic condition updates for commuting routes, carpool partner finding with similar commuting routes and schedules. Prior work has explored algorithms to discover “significant locations” [1,2] and “transportation...

For a developing country like India number of sectors are involved in economy. Transportation has played important part throughout the development of Indian economy. Transport has revolutionized our entire life, especially economy. Transportation services assist alike the production, consumption, exchange and distribution of wealth. There is a direct relation between transportation services and...

Transportation and distribution systems are improving with an increasing pace with the help of current technological facilities and additionally, the complexity of those systems are increasing. Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs) are difficult to solve with conventional techniques. Improving routes used in distribution systems provides significant savings in terms of time and costs. In this paper, ...

The objectives of this project are to create a spatial digital database consisting of LU/LC and road network maps with the help of IRS-ID, PAN & LISS-III merged data and SOI toposheets, to create database consisting of traffic volume, vehicle density and details of solid waste and to evolve an optimal transportation route maps for efficient, safe and economic disposal of solid waste. The final ...

This paper presents a sequential approach for the assessment of a multi-layered distribution network from a cluster of collaborating suppliers to a large set of customers. The transportation network includes three segments: suppliers routes from suppliers to a consolidation and distribution center, full truckload routes toward regional distribution centers, and less-than-truckload distribution ...

The Dial–A–Ride Problem (DARP) consists in defining a set of routes that satisfy transportation requests between a set of pickup points and a set of delivery points. This paper addresses a variant of the DARP where requests can change of vehicle during their trip. This transshipment is made on specific locations called “transfer points”. The corresponding problem is called the Dial–A–Ride Probl...
