FranciscoGarridoValenzuelaa DiegoCruzb MarinaDragicevica AlejandroSchmidta JaimeMoyaa SebastiánTamblaya Juan C.Herreraa Juan C.Muñoza Abstract Congestion is one of the main problems prevalent in surface public transport systems. Congestion affects travel time, service regularity, and system costs. The accuracy of identification of speed-related problems depends on the quality and precision of the tools used... read more →

JeffAllenaMatthewPalmb IgnacioTiznado-Aitkenb StevenFarberb Abstract There is growing body of research and practice assessing transportation equity and justice. Commuting is an especially important dimension to study since such frequent, non-discretionary travel, can come at the expense of time for other activities and therefore negatively impact mental health and well-being. An ”extreme... read more →

VicenteRamírezab PatriciaGalileaab JoaquínPobletecd Hugo E.Silvaadef Abstract Providing the right incentives to bus drivers has become an issue in many cities worldwide. Liberalization experiences and research have shown that high-powered incentives lead to safety hazards, lack of service in low-demand areas, and poor service quality. Fixed-wage schemes, common in tendered systems,... read more →

MohammadSadrania AlejandroTirachinibc ConstantinosAntonioua Abstract Public transport is considered as one of the most suitable candidates to benefit from autonomous driving technologies. In this research, we develop a mathematical modeling framework to optimize service frequency and vehicle size for automated bus systems, while accounting for both user and operator costs. We... read more →

Felipe Delgado Dynamic Multiline Vehicle Dispatching Strategy in Transit Operations Abstract: Providing regularity in buses’ operation in high-frequency services is essential to offer a good quality of service to users. If buses are not dispatched at regular headways from the terminal, headway irregularity will gradually increase along the line. In... read more →

Wangwei Wuhttps and Ricardo A. Daziano Abstract Random parameter logit models address unobserved preference heterogeneity in discrete choice analysis. The latent class logit model assumes a discrete heterogeneity distribution, by combining a conditional logit model of economic choices with a multinomial logit (MNL) for stochastic assignment to classes. Whereas point... read more →
