Cost-Saving Properties of Schedule Coordination in a Simple Trunk-and-Feeder Transit System
TL;DR: In this article, an idealized system that delivers its users to a common destination by requiring each to transfer from a feeder to a trunk-line vehicle is considered, and it is shown that coordination can be Pareto improving, meaning that operator and user costs both diminish.

Information provision by regulated public transport companies
TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction between pricing, frequency of service and information provision by public transport firms offering scheduled services was studied under various regulatory regimes, and the effect of higher fares strongly depends on how frequency and information quality affect the number of planners, and if the agency regulates both the fare and the quality of information then more stringent information requirements induce the firm to reduce frequency; this strongly limits the welfare improvement of information regulation.

Vehicle dispatching in modular transit networks: A mixed-integer nonlinear programming model
TL;DR: A mixed-integer nonlinear programming model is developed to balance the tradeoff between the vehicle operation cost and the passenger trip time cost and this reformulated linear model can be solved with off-the-shelf commercial solvers.

Scheduling strategy for transit routes with modular autonomous vehicles
TL;DR: The results show that the proposed strategy for flexible MAV scheduling on transit routes to meet the time-varying passenger demand can remarkably improve the utilization of vehicles and also make passengers more convenient.

Optimal strategies: A new assignment model for transit networks
Heinz Spiess,Michael Florian +1 more
TL;DR: A model for the transit assignment problem with a fixed set of transit lines is described, formulated as a linear programming problem of a size that increases linearly with the network size that solves the latter problem in polynomial time.

Estimation of a disaggregate multimodal public transport Origin-Destination matrix from passive smartcard data from Santiago, Chile
Marcela Munizaga,Carolina Palma +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a methodology for estimating a public transport OD matrix from smartcard and GPS data for Santiago, Chile and generates an estimation of time and position of alighting for over 80% of the boarding transactions.

Control Strategies for an Idealized Public Transportation System
E. E. Osuna,Gordon F. Newell +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of determining the optimal strategy (dispatch or hold) for a system of m vehicles is formulated as a dynamic programming problem and analyzed in detail for m = 1 and m = 2.

Structure of Competitive Transit Networks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the network shapes and operating characteristics that allow a transit system to deliver an accessibility level competitive with that of the automobile, and show how to use these results to generate master plans of transit systems for real cities.

Bus stop-skipping scheme with random travel time
TL;DR: In this paper, a genetic algorithm incorporating Monte Carlo simulation is proposed to solve the problem of deadheading in a special case of the stop-skipping problem, allowing a bus vehicle to skip stops between the dispatching terminal point and a designated stop.
