Vehicular crowdsensing is anticipated to become a key catalyst for data-driven optimization in the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) domain. Yet, the expected growth in massive Machine-type Communication (mMTC) caused by…
As many public transportation systems around the world transition to electric buses, the planning and operation of fleets can be improved via tailored decision-support tools. In this work, we study the impact of jointly locating charging…
Several authors have noted that in a non-regulated environment the development of public transport service is self-adjusting: Faced with a decreasing demand, operators will tend to reduce service to cut costs, resulting in a decrease in the…
The paper introduces and evaluates the concept of the dynamic interlining of buses. Dynamic interlining is an operational strategy for routes that have a terminal station at a common hub, that allows a portion of (or all) the fleet to be…
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…
The design of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and the design of AV-enabled mobility systems are closely coupled. Indeed, knowledge about the intended service of AVs would impact their design and deployment process, whilst insights about their…
As public transport operators try to resume their services, they have to operate under reduced capacities due to COVID-19. Because demand can exceed capacity at different areas and across different times of the day, drivers have to refuse…
Multicast/broadcast services (MBS) are able to provide video services for many users simultaneously. Fixed amount of bandwidth allocation for all of the MBS videos is not effective in terms of bandwidth utilization, overall forced call…
Mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) provides seamless door-to-door trips by integrating different transport modes. Although many MaaS platforms have emerged in recent years, most of them remain at a limited integration level. This study…
The transition of transit fleets to alternative powertrains offers a potential pathway to reducing the cost of mobility. However, the limited range and long charging durations of battery electric buses (BEBs) introduce significant…
This paper addresses the pressing challenge of urban mobility in the context of growing urban populations, changing demand patterns for urban mobility, and emerging technologies like Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) platforms and Autonomous Vehicle…
Base station densification is one of the key approaches for delivering high capacity in radio access networks. However, current static deployments are often impractical and financially unsustainable, as they increase both capital and…
This study proposes to find the most appropriate transport modes with awareness of user preferences (e.g., costs, times) and trip characteristics (e.g., purpose, distance). The work was based on real-life trips obtained from a map…
Shared micromobility systems, such as electric scooters and bikes, have gained widespread popularity as sustainable alternatives to traditional transportation modes. However, these systems face persistent challenges due to spatio-temporal…
As climate change provides impetus for investing in smart cities, with electrified public transit systems, we consider electric public transportation buses in an urban area, which play a role in the power system operations in addition to…
In this paper, we consider a multi-modal mobility system of travelers each with an individual travel budget, and propose a game-theoretic framework to assign each traveler to a ``mobility service" (each one representing a different mode of…
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…
The ubiquitous growth of mobility-on-demand services for passenger and goods delivery has brought various challenges and opportunities within the realm of transportation systems. As a result, intelligent transportation systems are being…
An efficient urban bus control system has the potential to significantly reduce travel delays and streamline the allocation of transportation resources, thereby offering enhanced and user-friendly transit services to passengers. However,…
Agent-based models (ABM) are gaining traction as one of the most powerful modelling tools within the social sciences. They are particularly suited to simulating complex systems. Despite many methodological advances within ABM, one of the…
