<title>Abstract</title> The TRANSYT software, developed by the UK's Transport Research Laboratory (TRL), has been used for optimising signal timings in signalised networks for over 40 years. It consists of a deterministic, macroscopic <italic>traffic model</italic> that evaluates the performance index (PI) for any given set of...

<title>Abstract</title> The economic performance of Appalachian counties in the USA varies substantially across the region. The Appalachian Regional Commission has divided the 410 counties into four major categories: distressed, transitional, competitive, and attainment. This paper applies spatial models that...

<title>Abstract</title> In an ageing society older people have a growing influence on politics in general, and potentially on the acceptability of road charging in particular. They face specific types of risk of transport-related social exclusion which may influence their views on charging, although there is...

<title>Abstract</title> When airlines are faced with some unforeseen short-term events, they have to reconstruct their flight schedules. Although aircraft recovery decisions affect passengers, these disrupted passengers and recovering them have not been explicitly considered in most previous aircraft recovery...

<title>Abstract</title> The use of fossil fuels in transportation is an important topic as a result of growing concerns over global warming. Automobile petrol demand has been of particular interest to researchers and policy-makers, given that the automobile is a major contributor to the enhanced greenhouse...

<title>Abstract</title> Many large cities and regions are currently developing integrated land-use and transportation models for the first time. They are doing so in response to needs expressed by their constituents and to shifts in national policy that require consistency between local land-use plans and...

<title>Abstract</title> The effective and efficient design of intermodal facilities is highly dependent on the pedestrian use of these facilities. A pedestrian simulation model, intermodal simulator for the analysis of pedestrian traffic (ISAPT), was created to study the impact of facility design on pedestrian...

<title>Abstract</title> As the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) market is supply-driven and subject to long-term contracts, both liquefaction companies and shipowners need to make strategic decisions on fleet chartering requirements. These planning decisions become ever more difficult in light of the...

<title>Abstract</title> In large metropolitan areas, public transit is a major mode choice of commuters for their daily travel, which has an important role in relieving congestion on transportation corridors. The purpose of this study is to develop a model which optimizes service patterns (SPs) and frequencies...

<title>Abstract</title> This paper presents an improved headway-based holding strategy integrating bus transit travel and dwelling time prediction. A support vector machine-based (SVM) model is developed to predict the baseline travel and dwell times of buses based on recent data. In order to reduce prediction...
