<title/> Subareas throughout a city may be viewed as both daytime destinations for some persons as well as residence (or nighttime) locations for some households. Associated with the average household in each subarea is the distribution of its members by their daytime destinations. Travel allocation of...

<title/> Intermodal road-rail freight transport works best within markets with relatively large flows occurring over long distances, which corresponds poorly to the current demand for transport in the European Union. The purpose of this paper is to compare the capabilities of conventional European...

Buses are the main transit mode in Brazil, transporting more than 55 million passengers per day. Most of these vehicles run on diesel oil causing a dependence on oil, extensive greenhouse gas emissions and increasing air pollution in urban areas. In order to improve this situation, options for...

<title/> Coastal and inland feeder shipping is a critical factor for intercontinental container transport. The question is whether each intercontinental terminal should be equipped with its own service stations for feeder shipping, or whether pooling of the facilities would be more effective. For this...

Airlines spend considerable time, effort and financial resources on planning. It is essential to create a competitive timetable and construct a fleet and a crew schedule that utilizes these resources to the maximum. Unfortunately, it is all too common that an airline is faced with the necessity...

A mathematical model is developed in this paper to improve the accessibility of a bus service. To formulate the optimization model, a segment of a bus route is given, on which a number of demand entry points are distributed realistically. The objective total cost function (i.e. the sum of...

This paper presents a novel application of static traffic assignment methods, but with a variable time value, for estimating the market share of high-speed rail (HSR) in the northwest--southeast (NW--SE) corridor of Korea currently served by air, conventional rail and highway modes. The proposed...

Estimating missing values is known as data imputation. The proper imputation of missing values of permanent traffic counts (PTCs) could result in significant cost savings for highway agencies in their traffic data programs. However, little research has been done on missing values and only...

Braess' phenomenon, also known as Braess' paradox, is a phenomenon that has received considerable attention in transportation engineering and planning, as well as in other fields. It has an important implication in the area of investment in transportation networks, namely that adding a new link...

Evaluation of accessibility is of increasing importance to the design of the public realm -- including both the built and moving environments and particularly the interface between them. This is of particular relevance to people who are living on the ‘margins of accessibility’, for example,...
