Intermodal transit system coordination with dynamic vehicle dispatching
In most urban areas where transit demand is spread widely, passengers may be served by an intermodal transit system, consisting of a rail transit line (or a bus rapid transit route) and a numbers of feeder routes connecting at different transfer stations. In such a system, passengers may need one …

Characterizing transit system performance using Smart Card data
Although automated data collection systems have been in existence long enough to be the subject of extensive research, they continue to transform both the agency and customer side of public transportation. Transit system performance is defined along three dimensions: the supply of trains or buses; …

Building bus rapid transit into the existing public transit system : competition and integration of BRT and the Urban Rail Transit in cities in China
BRT is a new type of bus transit with high speed and capacity. With its advantages and benefits, BRT is getting popular in the world, including China. Since BRT and urban rail transit (URT) are both rapid public transports, the comparisons between the two will be inevitable. Generally speaking, BRT …
