To the problem of being lack of transit network hierarchy theory, a research on public transit network hierarchy optimization based on residential transit trip distance is conducted. Firstly, the hierarchy standard of transit network is given, in addition, both simulating electron cloud model and Rayleigh distribution model are used to fit the residential transit trip distance. Secondly, from t...

This paper describes a methodology for estimating transit walk accessibility that overcomes the problems associated with barriers and uneven distribution of population, and a methodology for forecasting transit walk accessibility for a future year given forecast population and employment data, transit route information, and street configuration type. Comparison of the results with those from th...

This report evaluates criticism of rail transit systems. It examines claims that rail transit is ineffective at increasing public transit ridership and improving transportation system performance, that rail transit investments are not cost effective, and that transit is an outdated form of transportation. It finds that critics often misrepresent issues and use biased and inaccurate analysis. Th...

Public transit provides important services for urban commuters and transit dependent population. A key objective of most public transit projects is to increase regional transit ridership and mode share. Traditional survey has been widely used by a transit project to estimate the change of ridership. In a large metropolitan area with multiple public transit modes, it is costly and difficult to c...

local bus network is the most popular transit mode and the only available transit mode in the majority of cities of the world. increasing the utility of this mode which increases its share from urban trips is an important goal for city planners. timetable setting as the second component of bus network design problem (network route design timetable setting vehicle assignment crew assignment) hav...

in this paper, we are going to investigate the growth of the iranian maritime transport with a focus mainly on the north - south transit corridor, review of dry ports in order to support the iranian container terminals at the south ports in order to increase the volume of container storages at the terminals. for the purpose of assessing the outcome of port operational management, the balanced s...

In the present article, we describe the validation of a new non-invasive method for measuring blood pressure (BP) which also enables to determine the three BP values: systolic, diastolic and mean value. Our method is based on the pulse transit time (PTT) measurement along an artery directly at the BP cuff. The accuracy of this method was evaluated by comparison with the direct simultaneous meas...

The paper set out to investigate the effectiveness of the removals in transit (RIT) system in facilitating trade. The study wanted to establish whether the Removals in Transit system currently being used in Zimbabwe is effective enough, that is whether acquittals of entries are being done in the system properly or fraudulently. A sample size of 200 Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) employees a...
