The improvement and expansion of public transport is an increasingly important solution to the high congestion costs and worsening environmental impacts of the car dominated transport systems seen in many cities today. The intelligent design of stop locations is one way to improve the quality of...

Vehicle scheduling is a crucial step of the public transport planning process because it results in the number of vehicles required, thus it is directly related to fixed cost and labor cost. It is desirable, therefore, to minimize the number of vehicles used and operational cost. This paper...

The main purpose of this study is to design a transit network of routes for handling actual-size road networks. This transit-network design problem is known to be complex and cumbersome. Thus, a heuristic methodology is proposed, taking into account the major concerns of transit authorities such...

This paper describes the bus network design problem, summarizes the different approaches that have been proposed for its solution and proposes a new approach incorporating some of the positive aspects of prior work. The proposed approach is intended to be easier to implement and less demanding...

This note gives simple equations for wave and shockwave velocities, using a graphical interpretation of speed-intercepts on the speed-concentration and speed-flow curves.
