  • 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.

It is also under- taking work to determine whether ETCS Level 3 technology could be used to speed up the deployment of ERTMS to within 15 years. Implementing ERTMS with ETCS Level 3 has the potential to increase railway route capacity and flexibility, and to reduce both capital and operating costs. It would also make it possible to manage rail traffic using a moving block signal- ling approach. This POSTbrief introduces ERTMS, explains the concept of moving block sig- nalling and discusses the potential benefits for rail capacity, which are likely to vary significantly between routes. Research in this area is conducted by a range of organizations from across in- dustry, academia and Government. Not all of the results of that work are publi- cally available. This briefing draws on information from interviews with experts from academia and industry and a sample of the publically available literature.

  • Multimodal Pricing and the Optimal Design of Bus Services: New Elements and Extensions
    Multimodal Pricing and the Optimal Design of Bus Services: New Elements and Extensions Alejandro Andrés Tirachini Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Business School, University of Sydney, Australia July 2012 Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies The University of Sydney Business School The University of Sydney NSW 2006 Australia Abstract This thesis analyses the pricing and design of urban transport systems; in particular the optimal design and efficient operation of bus services and the pricing of urban transport. Five main topics are addressed: (i) the influence of considering non-motorised travel alternatives (walking and cycling) in the estimation of optimal bus fares, (ii) the choice of a fare collection system and bus boarding policy, (iii) the influence of passengers’ crowding on bus operations and optimal supply levels, (iv) the optimal investment in road infrastructure for buses, which is attached to a target bus running speed and (v) the characterisation of bus congestion and its impact on bus operation and service design. Total cost minimisation and social welfare maximisation models are developed, which are complemented by the empirical estimation of bus travel times. As bus patronage increases, it is efficient to invest money in speeding up boarding and alighting times. Once on-board cash payment has been ruled out, allowing boarding at all doors is more important as a tool to reduce both users and operator costs than technological improvements on fare collection. The consideration of crowding externalities (in respect of both seating and standing) imposes a higher optimal bus fare, and consequently, a reduction of the optimal bus subsidy.

  • A New Public Transport Approach for Wellington
    fit wellington A New Public Transport Approach for Wellington Options and Indicative Costs 07 September 2015 at 11:13am Summary If we start today, Wellington could have a world-class light rail tram service between the Railway Station and the Airport, via the Hospital, by 2030, for an estimated cost as low as $450 million. Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Comparing BRT and light rail 3 3 Light rail in Wellington 4 4 Indicative costs 9 5 Next steps 12 1 Introduction 1.1 FIT stands for Fair, Intelligent Transport. We are a group of Wellingtonians with professional expertise, who want to see a change in the culture where the private motor vehicle dominates other transport modes. We want to see a city designed for people, not cars. Our vision for Wellington is a modern, vibrant city which includes: • A healthy and safe city where the unique character and beauty of our harbour capital is enhanced by the built environment, including its transport system; • A city that has reliable, low-cost, fast and convenient public trans- port, that takes people where they want, when they want; and 1 2 §1 Introduction • A city where walking, cycling and electric public transport are ac- tively promoted to reduce transport costs, improve health by physi- cal exercise and reduce pollution and climate change effects. 1.2 In collaboration with Generation Zero, we have reviewed the latest busi- ness plan for the development of public transport in Wellington. 1.3 We consider there are grave deficiencies in the proposals for BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) and the spine study on which it is based.
