Recently, many studies have tried to find travel patterns to understand citizen’s movement behaviours and improve transportation services based on the big data in public transportation systems. This research introduces a method of discovering and evaluating spatial movement patterns from smart card transaction data of multi-modal transportation networks such as subway and bus. The transaction d...

Understanding the relationship between short-term subway ridership and its influential factors is crucial to improving the accuracy of short-term subway ridership prediction. Although there has been a growing body of studies on short-term ridership prediction approaches, limited effort is made to investigate the short-term subway ridership prediction considering bus transfer activities and temp...

Some incidents in urban railway systems affect the function of the subway’s company adversely and they could disorder the services. These events may inflict irreparable damage to passengers, employees and equipment. By recognizing the hazards existing in this type of transportation system and evaluating and prioritizing risks, we can perform appropriate actions to reduce the probability and sev...

In the current urban rail transit system, the levels of informatization and integration are not high. In order to change the traditional pattern of rail transportation operation and management, we propose an intelligent information platform of subway system based on Internet of things. Depending on the sensor nodes deployed in various functional departments of rail transport and the RFID techno...

Service capability and matching degree of transfer facilities are directly related to the operational efficiency and safety of a subway station. Owing to differences in planning and construction, the transfer subway stations in developing countries have some defects in facility size and serviceability, which cause a decline in service performance, operation efficiency, and security level. In or...

The decision takers of the public transportation system, as part of urban critical infrastructures, need to increase the system resilience. For doing so, we identified analysis tools for biological networks as an adequate basis for visual analytics in that domain. In the paper at hand we therefore translate such methods for transportation systems and show the benefits by applying them on the Mu...

Commuters can complete their “home-work-home” trips by three options: subway-only mode, auto-only mode, and park-and-ride mode on a bottleneck-constrained corridor. The purpose of this paper is to enhance the insights into pricing mechanism for subway and parking and corresponding mode choice behavior on the corridor with elastic demand. A nested logit-based stochastic user equilibrium model is...
