An Optimization-Based Qualitative/Algorithmic Approach to Transit Service Planning: Addressing the MBTA Green Line Extension
When changes to transit operations are necessary to accommodate changes in the network, demand levels, or agency resources, there is a risk that more obvious solutions (e.g., adjusting headways without changing service patterns) may be unnecessarily detrimental to the quality of the service …

Making data matter : the role of information design and process in applying automated data to improve transit service
As public transit agencies install new technology systems they are gaining increasing amounts of data. This data has the potential to change how they operate by generating better information for decision-making. Deriving value from this data and applying it to improve service requires changing the …

Future transit service for a broader user base : demand analysis of hypothetical autonomous vehicle mobility services using a stated preference approach
Mobility services and autonomous vehicles (AVs) are predicted to be key revolutionary forces in the future of transportation. In particular, certain forms of the amalgamations of the two technologies not only are expected to offer cost reduction to service providers, but are thought to be available …
