Development of an alternative approach to transit demand modeling
Development of the transit systems around the nation faces limitations in funding and strict scrutiny of the proposed projects and their potential impact on urban environment. Potential ridership of the proposed transit route becomes one of the key indicators for analysis of investment projects. …

Transit Demand Estimation And Crowding Prediction Based On Real-Time Transit Data
… increasing networking capabilities, municipal transit authorities can leverage real-time data to estimate transit volume and predict crowding conditions. We introduce a proactive Transit Demand Estimation and Prediction System (TraDEPS) – an approach that has the potential to prevent crowding …

Improving transit demand management with Smart Card data : general framework and applications
… are outpacing capacity expansions in a number of transit systems. By shifting their focus to demand management, agencies can instead influence how customers use the system, getting more out of the capacity they already have. However, while demand management is well researched for personal vehicle …

Interrelationships Between Urban Travel and Other Infrastructure
… consumption as proxy indicators of travel demand. First, it shows that sentiment derived from geo-tagged Twitter posts can be structured into covariates that significantly improve forecasts of telecommuting prevalence, particularly during disruptive events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. …

Performance in Multipath & High-Mobility Leveraging Terrestrial and Satellite Networks
… experienced by autonomous vehicles or users in transit, demand reliable and high-performance network communication. This thesis presents a comprehensive measurement study comparing the performance of terrestrial 5G networks (ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile) and the Starlink satellite network in …

Advances in data-driven models for transportation
… there has been a renewed interest in transit planning to improve service quality and stem declining ridership. However, it often takes months of manual planning for operators to redesign and reschedule services in response to changing needs. To this end, we provide four models of …

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 …

Exploring the relationship between destination accessibility, cluster formation and employment growth in Kendall Square
… relation of accessibility, activities and transit demand. Agglomeration theory focuses on the benefits in productivity that arise from high employment density areas when companies operate in the same sector; while cluster theory examines these centers more closely and stresses the …

An Analysis of Fare Collection Costs on Heavy Rail and Bus Systems in the U.S.
… collection (TFC) systems are major elements of transit infrastructure and there are several new alternative TFC technologies available on the market, the need to evaluate the performance of existing TFC systems arises. However, very little research has been done, so far, to assess impacts of TFC …

Transit network design for areas with low and/or heterogeneous demand
Low density and spatial heterogeneity in transit demand impose considerable challenges to both transit riders and service agencies. For example, lower demand forces transit agencies to provide sparser and less accessible service so as to stay economical, which however further deteriorates passenger …
