In rapidly sprawling urban areas and booming intercity express rail networks, efficiently designed feeder bus systems are more essential than ever to transport passengers to and from trunk-line rail terminals. When the feeder service region…
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…
Improving accessibility is one of the major issues in rural and suburban transportation. With the recent technological improvement of automated vehicles, it is expected that automated demand responsive transit and automated demand…
Previously, transport networks are usually treated as homogeneous networks, that is, every node has the same function, simultaneously providing and requiring resources. However, some real networks, such as power grid and supply chain…
Cycling is a crucial part of sustainable urban transportation. Promoting cycling critically relies on a sufficiently developed bicycle infrastructure. However, designing efficient bike path networks constitutes a complex problem that…
Express transportation network design is uncertain because origin--destination demand, travel time, operating cost, hub congestion, and realized sorting productivity vary over time. Existing multi-topology express network models usually…
We present and discuss the results of an experimental analysis in the design of Boolean networks by means of genetic algorithms. A population of networks is evolved with the aim of finding a network such that the attractor it reaches is of…
We develop new routing algorithms for a quantum network with noisy quantum devices such that each can store a small number of qubits. We thereby consider two models for the operation of such a network. The first is a continuous model, in…
A general Continuum Approximation (CA) model is proposed for optimizing transit network designs (TND) in grid cities under spatially heterogeneous demand. While conventional studies often assume rigid geometric line configurations (e.g.,…

Supply chain network is critical to serving customers, so the most common practices are to determine the number, location, and capacity of facilities. But at the same time, uncertainties and risks must be taken into account in order to…
Problem definition: To mitigate excessive crowding in public transit networks, network expansion is often not feasible due to financial and time constraints. Instead, operators are required to make use of existing infrastructure more…
Understanding the dynamics of food banks' demand from food insecurity is essential in optimizing operational costs and equitable distribution of food, especially when demand is uncertain. Hence, Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) clustering is…
Numerous studies have examined issues such as sustainable transport and urban inclusion; yet there is a gap about disadvantaged people and the hindrances they encounter in terms of public transportation. This study assesses sustainability…
Given a polygon representing a transportation network together with a point p in its interior, we aim to extend the network by inserting a line segment, called a feed-link, which connects p to the boundary of the polygon. Once a feed link…
In this paper, we consider the bandwidth-delay-hop constrained routing problem in large-scaled software defined networks. A number of demands, each of which specifies a source vertex and a sink vertex, are required to route in a given…
Public transportation systems play a crucial role in daily commutes, business operations, and leisure activities, emphasizing the need for effective management to meet public demands. One approach to achieve this goal is by predicting…
Network traffic demand matrix is a critical input for capacity planning, anomaly detection and many other network management related tasks. The demand matrix is often computed from link load measurements. The traffic matrix (TM) estimation…
Line planning in public transport is the strategic problem of selecting lines and their operating frequencies. This problem is important as it defines the passenger service, based on available connections and expected travel times, and…
