Intermodal passenger flows on London's public transport network : automated inference of full passenger journeys using fare-transaction and vehicle-location data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Urban public transport providers have historically planned and managed their networks and services with limited knowledge of their customers' travel patterns. While ticket gates and bus fareboxes yield counts of passenger ...
Using automatically collected data to improve the bus service planning process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Most large transit agencies have shifted from collecting transit performance data manually to using automated data systems to measure performance. These systems, which include Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), Automatic ...
Using GPS data in route choice analysis : case study in Boston
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
The pervasive location-based technologies, such as GPS and cell phone, help us find the pattern of geographical information of human behavior and also help dig opportunities in real world. In transportation field, they ...
Assessing Journey Time Impacts of Disruptions on London's Piccadilly Line
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Public transport users depend on a reliable level of service on a daily basis. But system disruptions, caused by infrastructure problems, passenger events, and crew duty constraints, can result in reduced reliability for ...
Numerical simulation of mixing in viscous-fingering displacements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Mixing of two fluids in viscously unstable displacements is far from being fully understood. It is not known how mixing efficiency depends on the viscosity contrast between the fluids, especially for advection-dominated ...
Understanding human mobility patterns from digital traces
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Our current digital age is characterized by the shift from traditional industry to an economy based on the information computerization. The sweeping changes brought about by digital computing have provided new data sources ...
Evolution of domestic traffic and fares at the top 200 US airports between 1990 and 2008
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the evolution of domestic Origin- Destination (O-D) traffic and fares at the Top 200 airports in the United States between 1990 and 2008. The impetus behind this research is ...
Evolution of US air cargo productivity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
This thesis provides an overview of the US air cargo industry since airline deregulation in 1978, including a brief overview of the historical evolution of air cargo transport in the US from the early 1900s until the late ...
Sustainable metropolitan mobility and public-private partnerships : a highway to institutional reform?
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
The "sustainability" literature generally acknowledges a critical role for transportation infrastructure planning, finance, investment, design, construction, operation, and management for addressing the long-term viability ...
Street typology and bicyclist safety : a systems approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Cycling is an attractive transportation mode but has not attained a large mode share in the United States, in part because it is correctly perceived as dangerous. Much literature on cyclist safety and the built environment ...
