The development of computerized systems in the financial industry facilitated the growth of the stock exchange market for institutional and private investors. Paperless settlement systems for stocks and bonds were first introduced in the Nordic region. The successful introduction of the new infrastructure for the securities markets was the result of solid cooperation between market participants...

Many transit providers changed their schedules and route configurations during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing more frequent bus service on major routes curtailing other routes, to reduce risk of exposure. This research first assessed changes in Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) by reviewing pre-pandemic versus during-pandemic General Feed Specification (GTFS) files. Energy ...

Most transit networks are designed empirically. For bus networks this process 1s often satisfactory because bus routes and networks are very dependent on local conditions, and they can be easily modified, allowing easy corrections of problems which line design may cause in operations. However, with transit systems which have extensive infrastructure, most typically metro lines and networks, cor...

This paper presents an approach to estimate bus route and network travel times using micro-simulation. This can be used in predicting the effectiveness of bus route designs using some network traffic measures or indicators. The used indicators are average network traffic intensity, posted speeds, route length, frequency of bus operation, and average passenger loadings (boarding and alighting). ...

We developed the analyzer of users’ behavior for a public transit navigation system in order to improve the usability of the system and find the required functions for it. The analyzer records users’ situations and behaviors, such as the page transitions, searched routes, and device type. With these data, the analyzer generates a graph that illustrates the usage trends and the result of the eva...

We analyze passenger count data from the Marguerite Shuttle system operating on the Stanford University campus. The aim is to infer the time-varying passenger alighting and boarding preference across stops for several important shuttle routes. We look at the problem from the perspective of filling in the missing entries of a transit route O-D matrix. A preliminary analysis indicates that there ...

In this work, a decision tool is developed for a liner shipping company to deploy its fleet considering vessel speeds and to find routes for cargos with transit time constraints simultaneously. This problem is referred as Service level Assignment and Container Routing Problem (SACRP) in the sequel. A Column Generation (CG) algorithm is implemented for the SACRP. Computational experiments are pe...
