<title>ABSTRACT</title> Buses are the unrecognized champions of public transport in modern cities around the world. However, the bus system is usually bedevilled by poor design that has resulted from poor understanding of how a bus system actually works. This article examines the impacts of the interactions...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> This article proposes new models for estimating transport demand using a genetic algorithm (GA) approach. Based on population, gross national product and number of vehicles, four forms of the genetic algorithm transport planning (GATP) model are developed -- one exponential and the...

<title>ABSTRACT</title> This article examines the spatial transferability of mode choice models in developing countries. An evaluation of the updating procedure and sample size are also included in the study. Because of the insufficiency of model coefficients in explaining differences in unmeasured modal...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> This article explores the traffic, land use and welfare impacts of road pricing in the Austin (Texas, USA) region, including the introduction of planned toll roads, bridge tolls, and a downtown cordon toll. Different tolling strategies are examined, including fixed versus variable toll...

This paper proposes an alternative algorithm to solve the median shortest path problem (MSPP) in the planning and design of urban transportation networks. The proposed vector labeling algorithm is based on the labeling of each node in terms of a multiple and conflicting vector of objectives...

This paper explores the technical feasibility of five Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) functions to contribute to road traffic safety, to reach stated European (EU) and national road traffic safety targets. These functions -- enhanced navigation, speed assistance, collision avoidance,...

This paper describes a methodology for validating online dynamic O--D matrix estimation models using loop detector data in large-scale transportation networks. The simulation procedure focuses on travel aspects related to the collective trip structure of users, including the amount and duration...

Many factors affect the performance of temporary schedule adjustments following incidents. These factors include static recovery scheduling, stochastic flight delays and ‘real-time’ schedule adjustments. Most research on recovery scheduling has focused on improving static recovery scheduling...

It is commonly accepted that the modal choice of a shipper is influenced not only by the pure economic attributes of transportation -- time and cost -- but also by more qualitative factors. These quality attributes relate to frequency, reliability, flexibility, transport duration and risk of...

In this paper we describe the use of specific methodologies and programming tools that allow the integration of macro- and microscopic models for the analysis of urban transportation systems. Considering, on the one hand, the advantages of using a macroscopic model for the representation of...
