This paper discusses the real-time prediction of queue lengths from probe vehicles for the Bunch arrival headways at an isolated intersection for undersaturated conditions. The paper incorporates the bunching effect of the traffic into the…
Robust travel time predictions are of prime importance in managing any transportation infrastructure, and particularly in rail networks where they have major impacts both on traffic regulation and passenger satisfaction. We aim at…
Freight train services in a railway network system are generally divided into two categories: one is the unscheduled train, whose operating frequency fluctuates with origin-destination (OD) demands; the other is the scheduled train, which…
We introduce a modeling framework for an urban tram network based on a hyperbolic partial differential equation describing the transport of passengers along the network, coupled with a family of stochastic processes representing passenger…
This paper proposes a stochastic framework to evaluate the performance of public transit systems under short random service suspensions. We aim to derive closed-form formulations of the mean and variance of the queue length and waiting…
In this paper, we address the vehicle scheduling problem for improving passenger safety in bus rapid transit systems. Our focus is on passengers waiting at street stops to enter terminal stations. To enhance their safety, we minimize…
If artificial intelligence (AI) is to be applied in safety-critical domains, its performance needs to be evaluated reliably. The present study aimed to understand how humans evaluate AI systems for person detection in automatic train…
For high-density metro traffic, nowadays the time-variant passenger flow is the main cause of train delays and stranded passengers. Typically, the main objective of automatic metro traffic regulation methods is to minimize the delay time of…
This paper is an extended abstract on a traffic model for the train dynamics on a metro line with a junction. The dynamic model includes control laws on the dwell and on the run time, taking into account the passenger travel demand. Our…
The blocking problem naturally arises in transportation systems as multiple vehicles with different itineraries share available resources. In this paper, we investigate the impact of the blocking problem to the waiting time at the…
India runs the fourth largest railway transport network size carrying over 8 billion passengers per year. However, the travel experience of passengers is frequently marked by delays, i.e., late arrival of trains at stations, causing…
Traffic congestion is usually observed at the upper streams of bottlenecks such as tunnels. Congestion appears as stop-and-go waves and high density uniform flow. We perform simulations of traffic flow with a bottleneck using the coupled…
Transport through nano-channels plays an important role in many biological processes and industrial applications. Gaining insights into the functioning of biological transport processes and the design of man-made nano-devices requires an…
The advent of shared-economy and smartphones made on-demand transportation services possible, which created additional opportunities, but also more complexity to urban mobility. Companies that offer these services are called Transportation…
Railway transportation is one of the most popular options for Urban Massive Transportation Systems (UMTS) because of many attractive features. A robust electric power supply is essential to enable normal operation. However, the power peaks…
Periodic timetables are widely adopted in passenger railway operations due to their regular service patterns and well-coordinated train connections. However, fluctuations in passenger demand require varying train services across different…
Amid unprecedented times caused by COVID-19, healthcare systems all over the world are strained to the limits of, or even beyond, capacity. A similar event is experienced by some healthcare systems regularly, due to for instance seasonal…
Developing countries suffer from traffic congestion, poorly planned road/rail networks, and lack of access to public transportation facilities. This context results in an increase in fuel consumption, pollution level, monetary losses,…
Traffic congestion is one of the major challenges faced by the transportation industry. While this problem carries a high economical and environmental cost, the need for an efficient design of optimal paths for passengers in multilayer…
Eye tracking technology offers great potential for improving road safety. It is already being built into vehicles, namely cars and trucks. When this technology is integrated into transit service vehicles, employees, i.e., bus drivers, will…
