In recent years, the transition to clean bus fleets has accelerated. Although this transition might bring environmental and economic benefits, it requires a long-term strategic plan due to the large investment costs involved. This paper…
Urban resource scheduling is an important part of the development of a smart city, and transportation resources are the main components of urban resources. Currently, a series of problems with transportation resources such as unbalanced…
Transportation service providers that dispatch drivers and vehicles to riders start to support both on-demand ride requests posted in real time and rides scheduled in advance, leading to new challenges which, to the best of our knowledge,…
On-chip buses are typically designed to meet performance constraints at worst-case conditions, including process corner, temperature, IR-drop, and neighboring net switching pattern. This can result in significant performance slack at more…
The large shares of wind power generation in electricity markets motivate higher levels of operating reserves. However, current reserve sizing practices fail to account for important topological aspects that might hinder their deployment,…
Travel time is a fundamental component of accessibility measurement, yet most accessibility analyses rely on static timetable data that assume public transport services operate exactly as scheduled. Such representations overlook the…
The global transition to battery electric buses (EBs) presents an opportunity to reduce air and noise pollution in urban areas. However, the adoption of EBs introduces challenges related to limited driving range, extended charging times,…
Microtransit offers a promising blend of rideshare flexibility and public transit efficiency. In practice, it faces unanticipated but spatially aligned requests, passengers seeking to join ongoing schedules, leading to underutilized…
Cities comprise various functional zones, including residential, educational, commercial zones, etc. It is important for urban planners to identify different functional zones and understand their spatial structure within the city in order…
Buses are a vital component of metropolitan public transport, yet conventional bus services often struggle with inefficiencies including extended dwelling time, which increases in-vehicle travel time for non-alighting passengers. A…
In recent years, with the advancements in information and communication technology, different emerging on-demand shared mobility services have been introduced as innovative solutions in the low-density areas, including on-demand transit…
Motivated by a wide variety of applications, this paper introduces a general class of networks of stochastic loss systems in which congestion renders lost revenue due to customers or jobs being permanently removed from the system. We seek…
Demand-responsive connector (DRC) services are increasingly recognized for their convenience, comfort, and efficiency, offering seamless integrations between travelers' origins/destinations and major transportation hubs such as rail…
This study aims to propose effective modeling and approach for designing a logistics network in the urban area in order to offer an efficient flow distribution network as a competitive strategy in the logistics industry where demand is…
Ridesourcing platforms recently introduced the ``schedule a ride'' service where passengers may reserve (book-ahead) a ride in advance of their trip. Reservations give platforms precise information that describes the start time and location…
As an emerging travel mode, the modular vehicle system (MVS) is receiving increasing attention. In particular, the operators could connect multiple modular vehicles as an assembled bus in response to the temporary demand varies. Therefore,…
Efficient management of traffic corridors is critical for sustaining urban mobility. Exclusive bus lane (EBL) and high occupancy vehicle lane (HOVL) are two prominent strategies for enhancing public transit services and alleviating…
Ride-sharing is a modern urban-mobility paradigm with tremendous potential in reducing congestion and pollution. Demand-aware design is a promising avenue for addressing a critical challenge in ride-sharing systems, namely joint…
Large-scale neuromorphic architectures consist of computing tiles that communicate spikes using a shared interconnect. The communication patterns in these systems are inherently sparse, asynchronous, and localized, as neural activity is…
Bus timetable optimization is a key issue to reduce operational cost of bus companies and improve the service quality. Existing methods use exact or heuristic algorithms to optimize the timetable in an offline manner. In practice, the…
