Non-branching hybrid transit network design under heterogeneous demand
… center and hub-spoke scheme in the periphery to design a competitive transit network on a square region. A nonlinear continuous optimization model is built upon this structure to minimize total transit system cost. One of this model’s main limitations is the uniform trip demand assumption, which …

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 …

Development of a decision support tool for transit network design evaluation
… soccer world cup event heavily influenced the design of the network. As a result, network appraisal is one area that can be done on the system to identify areas of improvement. In this thesis, decision making support will be demonstrated using a network design appraisal process for the MyCiTi …

Flexible transit network design with and without branching under spatially heterogeneous demand
While public transportation systems are usually designed with fixed routes, this work presents an alternative flexible-route transit system. Flexible transit vehicles do not operate on fixed paths but travel within predetermined areas in response to trip demand in order to provide door-to-door …

Optimal Configurations for Urban Transit: A Study on Bus and Express Network Design via Analytical Approaches and Mathematical Programming
The Public Transit Network Design Problem (PTNDP), particularly the Public Bus Transit Network Design Problem (PBTNDP) and Express Transit Network Design Problem (ETNDP), is a key area in transportation research. Analytical approaches and mathematical programming are widely used methodologies in …

The design of public transit networks with heuristic algorithms : case study Cape Town
The Transit Network Design Problem (TNDP) is well-researched in the field of transportation planning. It deals with the design of optimized public transportation networks and systems, and belongs to the class of non-linear optimization problems. In solving the problem, attempts are made to balance …

Simulation-based optimisation of public transport networks
Public transport network design deals with finding the most efficient network solution among a set of alternatives, that best satisfies the often-conflicting objectives of different network stakeholders like passengers and operators. Simulation-based Optimisation (SBO) is a discipline that solves …

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 …

Where desparation planning meets reparations planning : transit as an agent of equity in the shaping of Detroit's future
… operationalized an applied to the practice of transit network design. The result of this application is two distinct models, both envisioned for the city of Detroit, whose specific objectives are the provision of increased access to economic opportunity for Black America. These models are then …

Bus service design and schedule control
… service is a crucial performance indicator for transit agencies to ensure sufficient ridership and maintain the benefits of public transportation (e.g. lower CO2 emissions per traveler, lower transit fares). To provide satisfying service, transit should be fast, convenient, and reliable, in …

Towards an Artificial Intelligence based Decision Support System to Evaluate Various Transit Projects
<p>This dissertation addressed a subset of the Transit Network Design Problem (Transit-NDP), where the main evaluation parameter is the impact of various transit projects – Bus Lines, Tram, Light Rail, Rail – on the Network Travel Time (NTT) of the vehicles. The NTT is estimated using the static …
