Traffic congestion problem is one of the major problems that face many transportation decision makers for urban areas. The problem has many impacts on social, economical and development aspects of urban areas. Hence the solution to this problem is not straight forward. It requires a lot of effort, expertise, time and cost that sometime are not available. Most of the existing transportation plan...

in order to improve the level of intelligence, availability, being on demand, convenience, information and humanization of rural public transportation systems, they are more willing to use modern information and communicative technologies. in addition to management services, intelligent transportation systems can provide passengers, drivers, travel agencies and other institutions with other ser...

Transportation megaprojects have become a routine feature in the development of cities and urban infrastructure. The failure many to achieve desired performance levels is an issue that has been discussed several studies recent years, ascribing it inability plan for complexity uncertainty. This other problems are commonplace among yet be solved despite employment highly experienced professionals...

The work presented in this paper aims to model and solve multi-criteria international itinerary planning problems The emerging itinerary planning problems are defined on a multimodal time-dependent transportation network that consists of hierarchically interconnected international, interurban and urban transportation networks. The itinerary planning problems under study fall into two major cate...

In these days, remotely sensed imagery has been widely used for GIS-T (Geographic Information Systems for Transportation). As for this approach, topological measure and spatial metrics of transportation network structure such as road layer can be considered as one of important factors in urban transportation analysis. Related to this measure, it is known that the connectivity such as alpha inde...

A multistage decision process for transportation investment planning is described. Most transportation investment problems inherently involve multiple criteria and uncertainty. To deal with the variations arising from changes in external environments, robust contingency plans should be integrated in the planning process-not after plans are developed-to account for uncertainty. With the proposed...

Transportation planning requires both, decisions on the choice of transport resources and decisions on the deployment of the chosen resources. Therefore, transportation orders must be assigned to resources for fulfillment while the operations for the usage of each resource have to be planned. Most freight forwarding companies have to cope with a strongly fluctuating demand on the transportation...

In recent works on the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), “intelligent” and “sustainable” have been the buzzwords in the context of transportation. Maintaining sustainability in IoV is always a challenge. Sustainability in IoV can be achieved not only by the use of pollution-free vehicular systems, but also by maintenance of road traffic safety or prevention of accidents or collisions. With the aim of...
