Service reliability measurement framework using smart card data : application to the London Underground
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Service reliability is an important dimension of performance to transit passengers, affecting not only their perceptions of service quality, but their travel behaviour as well. The ability of transit operators to understand ...
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 ...
Congestion pricing in cities of the developing world : exploring prospects in Mexico City
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
(cont.) academics, researchers, and practitioners interested in improving transportation and air quality in the region. The survey shows that there is hesitation in considering any such policy in the MCMA without prior ...
The planning and analysis implications of automated data collection systems : rail transit OD matrix inference and path choice modeling examples
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
(cont.) by presenting two case studies both in the context of the Chicago Transit Authority. One study proposes an enhanced method of inferring the rail trip OD matrix from an origin-only AFC system to replace the routine ...
Application of Smart Card fare payment data to bus network planning in London, UK
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
This research contributes to an emerging body of literature on the application of smart card data to public transportation planning. It also addresses interchange planning, a key component of public transportation network ...
Design and evaluation of BRT and limited-stop services
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Many transit agencies operate limited-stop or Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) services overlapped with local services in corridors with high demand. These service strategies have the potential to improve bus performance as well ...
Making data matter : the role of information design and process in applying automated data to improve transit service
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
As public transit agencies install new technology systems they are gaining increasing amounts of data. This data has the potential to change how they operate by generating better information for decision-making. Deriving ...
Examining changes in transit passenger travel behavior through a Smart Card activity analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Transit passenger behavior is an area of major interest for public transportation agencies. The relationship between ridership and maintenance projects, however, is unexplored but increasingly relevant in the era of aging ...
Leveraging bus rapid transit lite for transit corridor development : Springfield Avenue and Bloomfield Avenue in Newark NJ
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
The construction of bus rapid transit lite (BRT lite) systems on Springfield Avenue and Bloomfield Avenue in Newark is assumed to provide lower travel times and improved reliability of service to local and regional economic ...
