  • Optimal Express Bus Routes Design with Limited-Stop Services for Long-Distance Commuters
    sustainability Article Optimal Express Bus Routes Design with Limited-Stop Services for Long-Distance Commuters Hongguo Ren 1,2, Zhenbao Wang 1,2,* and Yanyan Chen 3 1 School of Architecture and Art, Hebei University of Engineering, Handan 056038, Hebei, China; [email protected] 2 Key Laboratory of Architectural Physical Environment and Regional Building Protection Technology, Handan 056038, Hebei, China 3 School of Urban Transportation, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 10 December 2019; Accepted: 21 February 2020; Published: 23 February 2020 Abstract: This research aimed to propose a route optimization method for long-distance commuter bus service to improve the attraction of public transport as a sustainable travel mode. Takingthe express bus services (EBS) in Changping Corridor in Beijing as an example, we put forward an EBS route-planning method for long-distance commuter based on a solving algorithm for vehicle routing problem with pickups and deliveries (VRPPD) to determine the length of routes, number of lines, and stop location. Mobile phone location (MPL) data served as a valid instrument for the origin–destination (OD) estimation, which provided a new perspective to identify the locations of homes and jobs. The OD distribution matrices were specified via geocoded MPL data. The optimization objective of the EBS is to minimize the total distance traveled by the lines, subject to maximum segment capacity constraints. The sensitivity analysis was done to several key factors (e.g., the segment capacity, vehicle capacity, and headway) influencing the number of lines, the length of routes.

Beijing is such a metropolis and in its urban peripheral, an increasing number of communities have emerged that are comprised of monotonous housing projects. However, after the basic residential living requirements are satisfied, many other problems (including lack of amenities, distance between home and workplace which is particularly concerned with long commute time, traffic congestion, and etc.) exist.

  • Anonymous Referee #1
    Anonymous Referee #1 This manuscript is well written. I recommend it be published with a few minor edits. We thank the reviewer for their positive comments and suggestions. Please find below our replies and the related modifications to the manuscript. The page and line numbers refer to the version of the manuscript published on 5 ACPD. Section 2.2: Go into more depth how the footprints and the emissions inventory are combined to obtain atmospheric concentrations of CO. The text below has been added to the section 2.2 (P5, l3): “To do this, first we derive the sensitivities of the measured air masses to emissions occurring within a grid cell 10 (units [gm−3] / [gm−2s−1], i.e. sm−1) and then by multiplying the sensitivities with the emissions from the emission inventories we are able to calculate the modelled CO concentration (dimensionally, sm−1 × gm−2s−1 = gm−3). To convert the concertation to a volume mixing ratio we divide the modelled concentrations by the molar mass, divide again by the air density and multiply by 1 x 109.” Figure 4: Black box referred to in caption is not visible. 15 Figure 4 “black box” – that was a mistake in the caption. Caption for Figure 4 (P5) corrected to say: “Figure 4: The blue box represents the regional contributions from outside Beijing and the red box is the Beijing region. The map also shows the 2010 population census (people per pixel – WorldPop data)” Page 6, line 10: change the time resolution of 1 Hz to an actual time resolution (in hours, minutes, or seconds).

  • Modeling the First Train Timetabling Problem with Minimal Missed Trains
    Modeling the first train timetabling problem with minimal missed trains and synchronization time differences in subway networks Liujiang Kang1, 2; Xiaoning Zhu1; Huijun Sun1; Jakob Puchinger3, 4; Mario Ruthmair5; Bin Hu6 1 MOE Key Laboratory for Urban Transportation Complex Systems Theory and Technology, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China 2Centre for Maritime Studies, National University of Singapore, Singapore 117576, Singapore 3Institut de Recherche Technologique SystemX, Palaiseau, France 4Laboratoire Genie Industriel, CentraleSupélec, Université Paris-Saclay, Chatenay-Malabry, France 5Department of Statistics and Operations Research, University of Vienna, Vienna 1090, Austria 6Mobility Department, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, Vienna 1210, Austria Abstract Urban railway transportation organization is a systematic activity that is usually composed of several stages, including network design, line planning, timetabling, rolling stock and staffing. In this paper, we study the optimization of first train timetables for an urban railway network that focuses on designing convenient and smooth timetables for morning passengers. We propose a mixed integer programming (MIP) model for minimizing train arrival time differences and the number of missed trains, i.e., the number of trains without transfers within a reasonable time at interchange stations as an alternative to minimize passenger transfer waiting times. This is interesting from the operator’s point of view, and we show that both criteria are equivalent. Starting from an intuitive model for the first train transfer problem, we then linearize the non-linear constraints by utilizing problem specific knowledge. In addition, a local search algorithm is developed to solve the timetabling problem. Through computational experiments involving the Beijing subway system, we demonstrate the computational efficiency of the exact model and the heuristic approach.

  • The Urban Rail Development Handbook
    DEVELOPMENT THE “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook offers both planners and political decision makers a comprehensive view of one of the largest, if not the largest, investment a city can undertake: an urban rail system. The handbook properly recognizes that urban rail is only one part of a hierarchically integrated transport system, and it provides practical guidance on how urban rail projects can be implemented and operated RAIL URBAN THE URBAN RAIL in a multimodal way that maximizes benefits far beyond mobility. The handbook is a must-read for any person involved in the planning and decision making for an urban rail line.” —Arturo Ardila-Gómez, Global Lead, Urban Mobility and Lead Transport Economist, World Bank DEVELOPMENT “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook tackles the social and technical challenges of planning, designing, financing, procuring, constructing, and operating rail projects in urban areas. It is a great complement HANDBOOK to more technical publications on rail technology, infrastructure, and project delivery. This handbook provides practical advice for delivering urban megaprojects, taking account of their social, institutional, and economic context.” —Martha Lawrence, Lead, Railway Community of Practice and Senior Railway Specialist, World Bank HANDBOOK “ Among the many options a city can consider to improve access to opportunities and mobility, urban rail stands out by its potential impact, as well as its high cost. Getting it right is a complex and multifaceted challenge that this handbook addresses beautifully through an in-depth and practical sharing of hard lessons learned in planning, implementing, and operating such urban rail lines, while ensuring their transformational role for urban development.” —Gerald Ollivier, Lead, Transit-Oriented Development Community of Practice, World Bank “ Public transport, as the backbone of mobility in cities, supports more inclusive communities, economic development, higher standards of living and health, and active lifestyles of inhabitants, while improving air quality and liveability.
