Schedule-based modeling of transportation networks: theory and applications

‘Schedule-Based Modeling of Transportation Networks: Theory and Applications’follows the book Schedule-Based Dynamic Transit Modeling, published in this series in 2004, recognizing the critical role that schedules play in transportation systems. Conceived for the simulation of transit systems, in the last fewyears the schedule-based approach has been expanded and applied to operational planning of other transportation schedule services besides mass transit, e.g. freight transport. This innovative approach allows forecasting the evolutionover time of the on-board loads on the services and their time-varying performance, using credible user behavioral hypotheses. It opens new frontiers in transportation modeling to support network design, timetable setting, and investigation of congestion effects, as well as the assessment of such new technologies, such as users system information (ITS technologies) Examines new theoretical and practical approaches for all transportation levels Focus goes beyond public transport to include freight transportation as well Editors and contributors and are leading researchers in the field INDICE: From the contents Introduction.- Schedule-based transportation system modeling: recent developments.- Passengers’ route choices in delayed rail networks.- Multi-day dynamic transit assignment.- Schedule-based dynamic transit assignment.- The potential impact of automated data collection systems on urban public transport planning.- Comparative assessment of alternative transitassignment models.- Large-scale schedule-based transit assignment.- Schedule-based transit assignment: a new dynamic equilibrium model with explicit vehicle capacity constraints.- Micro simulation learning-based approach for transit assignment.- Short-term prediction of vehicle loads in advanced public transportation information systems.- Dynamic transit assignment: the case for a frequency based model.- Schedule-based passenger and freight mode choice models forextra urban trips.- A schedule-based methodology proposal for sea motorways feasibility evaluation.
