BusBuzzard and WideWorld : decreasing the uncertainty of multimodal transportation
… mode choice. This implies shared infrastructure transportation modes prone to service unreliability stand at a disadvantage even if they are on average faster than automobile travel. Real-time status and historical availability statistics gleaned from vehicle instrumentation provide a natural …

An integrated framework for freight forwarders:exploitation of dynamic information for multimodal transportation
… customers. This research studies the air-cargo transportation on both road (short-haul) and air (long haul) network from the perspective of a mid-size freight forwarder. </p> <p>We develop a routing algorithm for congestion avoidance on air-network based on historical data and introduce an …

The Rotterdam Rules: Do They Solve the Problems arising from Multimodal Transportation?
The Convention on Contracts for the International Carriage of Goods Wholly or Partly by Sea was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on the 11th of December 2008. Shortly afterwards, a signing ceremony in Rotterdam was authorised and a recommendation was made for the new Convention to be …

Time Dynamic Label-Constrained Shortest Path Problems with Application to TRANSIMS: A Transportation Planning System
TRANSIMS (Transportation Analysis Simulation System) is part of a multi-track Travel Model Improvement Program sponsored by the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The main objective of this thesis is to enhance and implement a principal module …

Safety performance comparison between light rail transit and subway
… compare the safety performance of each mode. The multimodal transportation systems with many different technologies, operating characteristics and diversified environments made it more difficult to compare their safety. In order to evaluate the potential for intermodal comparison of safety …

Data-driven modeling and transportation data analytics
Data has become increasingly important in transportation research. Unfortunately, existing traffic models, though developed and practiced for decades, are not data driven and therefore inherently incapable of analyzing modern traffic data from multiple sources with different time resolution and …

Improving transportation access to the South Boston Seaport District
… to ensure the Seaport District will have multimodal transportation access to accommodate future economic development. More specific objectives of the thesis are listed as follows: > Lessen road congestion at specific intersections and major streets. > Optimize Silver Line operations. > …

Visualizing urban accessibility metrics for incremental bus rapid transit projects
… measures could help guide complex land use and multimodal transportation planning processes toward more eective and equitable outcomes. Such measures represent a signicant departure from the facility, maintenance, and mobility priorities that dominate transportation planning today, opening …

Benefits, Burdens, Perceptions, and Planning: Developing a New Environmental Justice Assessment Toolkit for Long Range Transportation Plans
… are disproportionately burdened by long-range transportation plans. This toolkit is based on the concept that effective assessment of environmental justice (EJ) in transportation planning requires assessment frameworks that methodologically unify three sometimes divergent interests: those of …

Are the relevant provisions of the Rotterdam Rules dealing with the identification of the carrier an improvement over the Hamburg and Hague-Visby Rules?
… the carrier identity problem in the context of multimodal transportation. The Rotterdam Rules aim to be more an extensive and uniform set of Rules attempting to be a reflection of modern commercial practice in tune with the current trends and practices. The Rotterdam Rules provide what can be …

Travel Behavior Dynamics in Multimodal Urban Transportation Systems: Public Transit and Active Mobility
In the context of transportation planning, addressing heterogeneity in travel behavior is essential for developing user-centered and inclusive transportation systems. This dissertation explores the dynamic pattern of travel behavior by investigating the heterogeneity of travel behavior among urban …

Mcmc- Based Optimization And Application
… problem for intermodal transportation systems. With a given number of potential locations, it needs to find the most appropriate number of terminals and their locations to provide the economically most efficient operation when multiple service pairs exist simultaneously. …

Transit Priority Measures at Unsignalized Intersections
Bus delays at unsignalized intersections (UIs) present a unique and persistent operational challenge, particularly for bus routes crossing from the minor approaches of these intersections. In addition, existing transit priority strategies were heavily focused on arterial corridors, leaving the UI …
