This book was released on 2020-06-03 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeder transit system (FTS) aims at arranging access to vehicles located at different depots at all demand points and transporting residents from these selected pick-up stops to transportation hubs (rail station and airport etc.). The FTS transit network, including a set of nodes (transportation hubs, bus stops, demand points, and depots) and links between them, is regarded as an effective tool to provide a better first/last mile service to and from the major fixed-route transit networks. The first/last mile access to major fixed-route transit networks and connectivity of residential areas is one of the main challenges faced by public transit. A well-designed FTS transit network shifted transport demand from individual car traffic to public transport and further enhanced urban sustainability. A feasible solution to the problem is the planning, design and implementation of efficient feeder transit services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The methodology introduced in this dissertation is to optimally find a feeder bus network in a suburban area for an existing rail system that connects the suburban area with the Central Business District (CBD). The objective is to minimize the total cost, including user and supplier costs. Three major access modes (walk, feeder bus, and auto) for the rail station are considered and the cost for all modes makes up the user cost. The supplier cost comes from the operating cost of the feeder bus network. The decision variables include the structure of the feeder bus network, service frequencies, and bus stop locations. The developed methodology consists of four components, including a Preparation Procedure (PP), Initial Solution Generation Procedure (ISGP), Network Features Determination Procedure (NFDP) and Solution Search Procedure (SSP). PP is used to perform a preliminary processing on the input data set. An initial solution that will be used in SSP is found in ISGP. The NFDP is a module to determine the network related features such as service frequency, mode split, stop selections and locations. A logit-based Multinomial Logit-Proportional Model (MNL-PM) model is proposed to estimate the mode shares of walk, bus and auto. A metaheuristic Tabu Search (TS) method is developed to find the optimal solution for the methodology. In the computational experiments, an Exhaustive Search (ES) method is designed and tested to validate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The results of networks of different sizes are presented and sensitivity analyses are performed to investigate the impacts of various model parameters (e.g., fleet size, parking fee, bus fare, etc.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing concern with respect to public transport (PT) use and its inability to encourage people to switch from solo to shared means of travel. Designing an operational and economically public bus network is widely recognized as an efficient way of reducing mobility-related problems such as traffic congestion, parking overload, air and noise pollution, and road accidents. One of the major elements of PT network is the way buses can feed railway stations with the goal to approach seamless bus-rail transfers. By optimizing the routes of corresponding feeder-bus network services, better connections with urban rail transit are attained. The design problem for a set of feeder bus lines is analyzed by considering one high capacity railway station linked with a road network. This thesis is three-fold. Firstly, it documents and illustrates the survey results of feeder-bus service demand and consumer requirements, and exceptions for the feeder bus at Auckland, New Zealand, for selected rail stations. Secondly, using the survey results, an ant colony optimization algorithm is developed for an efficient design of feeder-bus network within an acceptable running time. A case study of a major rail station in Auckland demonstrates the effectiveness and performance measures of the proposed algorithm. Finally, a work shows how to efficiently design feeder bus lines to and from railway stations, in consideration of uses of online smartphone data. This design aims to generate better service than that provided by private cars or fixed-route bus service. A bi-level optimization model has been developed for the purposes of designing this integrated, smart PT feeder/shuttle service. The upper level problem is to minimize user, operator, and community costs, and the lower level problem is to maximize the number of rail passengers who will use the feeder bus service given travel behavior of railway users. A genetic algorithm is used to solve the model in an acceptable running time. A numerical small example and a real life case study in Chengdu City, China, are used to illustrate the properties of the bi-level problem and the performance of the proposed algorithm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book collects selected presentations of the Meeting of the EURO Working Group on Transportation, which took place at the Department of Ma- ematics at Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg (or, Gothenburg), Sweden, September 9–11, 1998. [The EURO Working Group on Transpor- tion was founded at the end of the 7th EURO Summer Institute on Urban Traffic Management, which took place in Cetraro, Italy, June 21–July, 1991. There were around 30 founding members of the Working Group, a number which now has grown to around 150. Meetings since then include Paris (1993), Barcelona (1994), and Newcastle (1996). ] About 100 participants were present, enjoying healthy rain and a memorable conference dinner in the Feskekôrka. The total number of presentations at the conference was about 60, coming from quite diverse areas within the field of operations research in transportation, and covering all modes of transport: Deterministic traffic equilibrium models (6 papers) Stochastic traffic equilibrium models (5 papers) Combined traffic models (3 papers) Dynamic traffic models (7 papers) Simulation models (4 papers) Origin–destination matrix estimation (2 papers) Urban public transport models (8 papers) Aircraft scheduling (1 paper) Ship routing (2 papers) Railway planning and scheduling (6 papers) Vehicle routing (3 papers) Traffic management (3 papers) Signal control models (3 papers) Transportation systems analysis (5 papers) ix x TRANSPORTATION PLANNING Among these papers, 14 were eventually selected to be included in this volume.
Download or read book The Multi Agent Transport Simulation MATSim written by Andreas Horni and published by Ubiquity Press. This book was released on 2016-08-10 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The MATSim (Multi-Agent Transport Simulation) software project was started around 2006 with the goal of generating traffic and congestion patterns by following individual synthetic travelers through their daily or weekly activity programme. It has since then evolved from a collection of stand-alone C++ programs to an integrated Java-based framework which is publicly hosted, open-source available, automatically regression tested. It is currently used by about 40 groups throughout the world. This book takes stock of the current status. The first part of the book gives an introduction to the most important concepts, with the intention of enabling a potential user to set up and run basic simulations. The second part of the book describes how the basic functionality can be extended, for example by adding schedule-based public transit, electric or autonomous cars, paratransit, or within-day replanning. For each extension, the text provides pointers to the additional documentation and to the code base. It is also discussed how people with appropriate Java programming skills can write their own extensions, and plug them into the MATSim core. The project has started from the basic idea that traffic is a consequence of human behavior, and thus humans and their behavior should be the starting point of all modelling, and with the intuition that when simulations with 100 million particles are possible in computational physics, then behavior-oriented simulations with 10 million travelers should be possible in travel behavior research. The initial implementations thus combined concepts from computational physics and complex adaptive systems with concepts from travel behavior research. The third part of the book looks at theoretical concepts that are able to describe important aspects of the simulation system; for example, under certain conditions the code becomes a Monte Carlo engine sampling from a discrete choice model. Another important aspect is the interpretation of the MATSim score as utility in the microeconomic sense, opening up a connection to benefit cost analysis. Finally, the book collects use cases as they have been undertaken with MATSim. All current users of MATSim were invited to submit their work, and many followed with sometimes crisp and short and sometimes longer contributions, always with pointers to additional references. We hope that the book will become an invitation to explore, to build and to extend agent-based modeling of travel behavior from the stable and well tested core of MATSim documented here.
