Addressing the Integrated Timetabling and Vehicle Scheduling (TTVS) problem is important for improving transit operations. Recently, the emerging modular autonomous vehicles composed of modular autonomous units have made it possible to…
Achieving a socially desirable operating point for a multimodal transportation system is challenging when Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (AMoD) and Public Transit (PT) operators pursue selfish objectives alongside endogenous passenger…
In most cities, transit consists solely of fixed-route transportation, whence the inherent limited Quality of Service for travellers in suburban areas and during off-peak periods. On the other hand, completely replacing fixed-route (FR)…
We tackle the problem of goal-directed graph construction: given a starting graph, a budget of modifications, and a global objective function, the aim is to find a set of edges whose addition to the graph achieves the maximum improvement in…
Tradable Credit Schemes (TCS) promote the use of public and shared transport by capping private car usage while maintaining fair welfare outcomes by allowing credit trading. However, most existing studies assume unlimited public transit…
Representing the trajectories of mobile objects is a hot topic from the widespread use of smartphones and other GPS devices. However, few works have focused on representing trips over public transportation networks (buses, subway, and…
The Traveling Thief Problem (TTP) is a multi-component optimization problem that captures the interplay between routing and packing decisions by combining the classical Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) and the Knapsack Problem (KP). The…
Mobility service route design requires demand information to operate in a service region. Transit planners and operators can access various data sources including household travel survey data and mobile device location logs. However, when…
Designing a transit network requires many sequential route extension decisions, but their quality is often visible only after the full network is assembled. This delayed-feedback challenge lies at the heart of the Transit Route Network…
Understanding travel demand and behavior, particularly route and mode choices, is critical for effective transportation planning and policy design in multi-modal systems with emerging mobility options. Multi-modal system-level data, such as…

High-tech giants and start-ups are investing in drone technologies to provide urban air delivery service, which is expected to solve the last-mile problem and mitigate road traffic congestion. However, air delivery service will not scale up…
We propose a generalized market equilibrium model using assignment game criteria for evaluating transportation systems that consist of both operators' and users' decisions. The model finds stable pricing, in terms of generalized costs, and…
Dock-based bike-sharing systems exhibit spatial imbalances between bicycle supply and user demand, often addressed through overnight truck-based rebalancing. This work studies static overnight rebalancing under demand uncertainty modeled as…
Routing problems are optimization problems that consider a set of goals in a graph to be visited by a vehicle (or a fleet of them) in an optimal way, while numerous constraints have to be satisfied. We present a solution based on…
Accurate arrival time prediction (ATP) of buses and trams plays a crucial role in public transport operations. Current methods focused on modeling one-dimensional temporal information but overlooked the latent periodic information within…
The traffic assignment problem is essential for traffic flow analysis, traditionally solved using mathematical programs under the Equilibrium principle. These methods become computationally prohibitive for large-scale networks due to…

Nowadays, autonomous taxis become a highly promising transportation mode, which helps relieve traffic congestion and avoid road accidents. However, it hinders the wide implementation of this service that traditional models fail to…
Despite the ubiquity of transportation data, methods to infer the state parameters of a network either ignore sensitivity of route decisions, require route enumeration for parameterizing descriptive models of route selection, or require…
