A multimodal trip planner that produces optimal journeys involving both public transport and private vehicle legs has to solve a number of shortest path problems, both on the road network and the public transport network. The algorithms that are used to solve these shortest path problems have...

A data fusion framework is proposed to predict vehicle trajectories in urban signalized arterials. Recent advancements in data collection techniques and availability of traffic data from fixed and probe sensors suggest data fusion-based models as an alternative approach for traffic prediction....

Traffic assignment is a set of criteria through which the demand for mobility is distributed over the links of a transport network. Over the last 30 years, Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) models have been developed to support time-dependent analyses in nascent fields that need to take into...

This research discusses the formulation and solution algorithm of the reactive dynamic traffic assignment with the link travel time explicitly taking into account the effects of queues under the point queue concept. In the reactive assignment, vehicles are assumed to choose their routes based on...

This paper extends the conventional static marginal cost analysis to the dynamic one based on the time-dependent queueing analysis at a bottleneck. First, the supply function is reformulated so as to incorporate dynamically congestion phenomena. And, the marginal cost is shown to be more closely...

The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and efficient method for estimating origin-destination tables from roadside survey data. Roadside surveys, whether conducted by interviews or postcard mailback methods, typically have in common the sampling of trip origin and destination...

This research extends the dynamic user optimal assignment under the point queue concept so as to deal with physical queues. Given time-dependent many-to-many OD volumes, this paper first shows the formulation of the assignment subject to the flow conservation and the first-in-first-out (FIFO)...

Light Rail Transit (LRT) has been gaining popularity as a means of decreasing private automobile dependency and thus reducing car pollutants, relieving congestion and enhancing community liveability. LRT is also perceived as an important generator of economic growth, mainly in old urban centers....

Multi-dimensional discrete choice problems are usually estimated by assuming a single-choice hierarchical order for the entire study population or for pre-defined segments representing the behavior of an “average” person and by indicating either limited differences or a variety in choices...
