Commuting, like other types of human travel, is complex in nature, such as trip-chaining behavior involving making stops of multiple purposes between two anchors. According to the 2001 National Household Travel Survey, about one half of…

In this paper, we investigate the coordination of vehicle maneuvers in mixed-traffic corridors where connected and automated vehicles, human-driven vehicles, and buses interact under dedicated bus lane operations. We develop a segment-based…

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…

Curriculum learning has been growing in the domain of reinforcement learning as a method of improving training efficiency for various tasks. It involves modifying the difficulty (lessons) of the environment as the agent learns, in order to…

Large-scale neuromorphic architectures consist of computing tiles that communicate spikes using a shared interconnect. The communication patterns in such systems are inherently sparse, asynchronous, and localized due to the spiking nature…

Tandem queues with finite buffer capacity commonly exist in practical applications. By viewing a tandem queue as an integrated system, an innovative approach has been developed to analyze its performance through the insight from reduction…

In the school bus scheduling problem, the main contributing factor to the cost is the number of buses needed for the operations. However, in the case of subcontracting the transportation of pupils, unbalanced tours can increase the costs…

We analyze a boarding solution for a transport system in which the number of passengers allowed to enter a transport cabin is automatically controlled. Expressions charac- terizing the stochastic properties of the passenger queue length,…

The unreliable service and the unstable operation of a high frequency bus line are shown as bus bunching and the uneven distribution of headways along the bus line. Although many control strategies, such as the static and dynamic holding…

In many different settings, requests for service can arrive in near or true simultaneity with one another. This creates batches of arrivals to the underlying queueing system. In this paper, we study the staffing problem for the batch…

We modify the Nagel-Schreckenberg (NaSch) cellular automata model to study mixed-traffic dynamics. We focus on the interplay between passenger availability and bus-stopping constraints. Buses stop next to occupied cells of a discretized…

Public transport is one of the major forms of transportation in the world. This makes it vital to ensure that public transport is efficient. This research presents a novel real-time GPS bus transit data for over 500 routes of buses…

In this paper we analyze the average queue backlog in a combined input-output queued switch using a maximal size matching scheduling algorithm. We compare this average backlog to the average backlog achieved by an optimal switch. We model…

Anticipated synchronisation occurs when a driven dynamical system synchronises with the future state of the driver system to which it is unidirectionally coupled. Previous theoretical and experimental studies have focused on setups with a…

Vehicle-based mobile sensing (a.k.a drive-by sensing) is an important means of surveying urban environment by leveraging the mobility of public or private transport vehicles. Buses, for their extensive spatial coverage and reliable…

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…

Bus transit systems are the backbone of public transportation in the United States. An important indicator of the quality of service in such infrastructures is on-time performance at stops, with published transit schedules playing an…

We consider a stylized formal model of public transportation, where a set of agents need to travel along a given road, and there is a bus that runs the length of this road. Each agent has a left terminal and a right terminal between which…

We study synchronization in the context of network traffic on a $2-d$ communication network with local clustering and geographic separations. The network consists of nodes and randomly distributed hubs where the top five hubs ranked…

This paper proposes a general equilibrium model for multi-passenger ridesharing systems, in which interactions between ridesharing drivers, passengers, platforms, and transportation networks are endogenously captured. Stable matching is…
