In this paper we argue that visualization, data management and computational capabilities of geographic information systems (GIS) can assist transportation stated preference research in capturing the contextual complexity of many transportation decision environments by providing respondents with...

The insufficiency of infrastructure capacity in an air transport system is usually blamed for poor punctuality performance when implementing flight schedules. However, investigations have revealed that ground operations of airlines have become the second major cause of flight delay at airports....

Establishing how to utilize check-in counters at airport passenger terminals efficiently is a major concern facing airport operators and airlines. Inadequate terminal capacity and the inefficient utilization of facilities such as check-in counters are major factors causing congestion and delays...

There are a number of emergent traffic and transportation phenomena that cannot be analyzed successfully and explained using analytical models. The only way to analyze such phenomena is through the development of models that can simulate behavior of every agent. Agent-based modeling is an...

<title/> In urban areas where transit demand is widely spread, passengers may be served by an intermodal transit system, consisting of a rail transit line (or a bus rapid transit route) and a number of feeder routes connecting at different transfer stations. In such a system, passengers may need one or...

<title/> This paper proposes that the theoretically more appropriate approach for modelling mode choice decisions for the journey to work by workers residing in two-worker households is through the development of a choice model at the household level that takes into account the decisions of both...

<title/> This paper identifies the causes as well as the practical measurement of aircraft flight delays. The performance of air traffic management is measured by examining technical delays and scheduled timetable delays, which are derived from a mathematical programming model. To validate the...

<title/> Driving is a demanding task which requires constant concentration and appropriate maneuvers of a vehicle on the road. The introduction of in-vehicle navigation and route guidance system should be carried out with utmost care because of the abundant information that can be provided to a driver....

<title/> The dynamic characteristics of automobile demand are critical for national economic and revenue predictions. Automobile demand and ownership level forecasts are also the basis for travel demand models, land-use-transport interaction models, and transport policies and regulations. In this...

<title/> The challenges posed by current surface transportation problems cannot be solved by the application of a few isolated independent actions. A broad, comprehensive solution is needed to restore and build the future mobility our society will demand. The concept for such a solution is embodied in...
