This paper proposes a modeling framework to design an integrated mobility service system that is composed of local demand-responsive transportation (DRT) component and fixed-route transit network component. The region partitioned into disjoint zones, trip characterized intra- or inter-zonal one based on whether its origin destination belong the same zone. provides backbone line-haul trips, whil...

Several innovative public transport (PT) projects have been developed in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where cars, motorcycles buses share the facilities. However, there seems to be very little evidence on assessment methods analyse feasibility of different PT modes identify most cost-effective mixed system. To address this issue, study develops a comparative economic (CEcoA) based ...

Emissions from the transport sector represent the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions. There is little prospect that this situation will be resolved with a single technological fix. As developing nations quickly move to catch up with the motorisation levels of developed nations, the sheer number of private vehicles on the roadways will overwhelm any advances made by cleaner fuels...

Real-time bus arrival information systems at transit stops can be useful to passengers for efficient trip planning and reducing waiting times. The accuracy of such systems depends upon the ability of the model to account for variations in the data series and to adjust according to changing traffic conditions. Many of the existing studies on passenger information systems have modeled the system ...

A model to compare three alternative forms of public transport – light rail, heavy rail and bus rapid transit is developed for an urban network with radial lines emanating from the borders to the city centre. The theoretical framework assumes an operation aimed at minimising the total cost associated with public transport service provision, which encompasses both operator and users costs. The d...

The protection of pedestrians, cyclists, and public transportation passengers from environmental pollution is a global concern. This study fills the gap in existing knowledge temporal exposure to air Latin American metropolises. paper proposes methodology addressing relationship between two objects study, i.e., users active modes transport quality. new assesses spatiotemporal concurrence both w...

The potential to achieve significant energy savings in the road transport sector can be a powerful driver to promote bus transport, especially bus rapid transit (BRT) development. This research introduces a spreadsheet tool for making realistic estimates of energy savings due to increased use of buses, with an explicit inclusion of the effect of congestion on traffic flow and fuel consumption. ...
