A transistion control system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1955) -
Transit as a catalyst for urban revitalization : a a study of the Fourth and Hill area at Pershing Square station in downtown Los Angeles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Transit extraboard operator scheduling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)In addition to operators who pick scheduled service duties, transit agencies have a separate group of operators to cover work that becomes open due to absence or other unexpected situations. This group of operators are ... -
Transit fare policy : use of automated data to improve incremental decision making
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Incremental changes in fare policy can have substantial and long-term impacts on transit ridership and revenue, but they are often driven by near-term revenue needs and determined within short time frames with limited ... -
Transit marketing : strategies for San Juan, Puerto Rico
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Transit network design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988) -
The transit oriented basis boost : adapting the LIHTC to finance affordable housing near transit
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit is arguably the most successful and important program in American history for the creation of affordable housing. The program leverages private investment in affordable housing, through ... -
Transit oriented development : best practices and stakeholder perspectives
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Congestion and traffic are dominating daily life as the populations in and around cities rise. People are spending more time in cars traveling to and from work than ever before which is leading to lost time, wages and ... -
Transit oriented development strategy : Guangzhou case study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Mega-cities are the centers of population, economy, culture and political power. Yet, along with these characteristics, they are also the greatest source of energy consumption, resource depletion, and pollution. In order ... -
"A transit pass in everyone's hand?" : implementing Unlimited Access Pass programs as a strategy to increase transit ridership
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)(cont.) ridership growth induced by UAP programs. The lessons learned are then applied in form of a university pass program at the MBTA in Boston, suggesting program designs, pricing alternatives and estimating impacts on ... -
Transit pathways to urban parks : interventions for balancing development, preservation and accessibility
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Getting people to parks and other green spaces is important. But most cities overlook parks as destinations in the name of density and commercial development. This thesis describes the symbiotic relationship between public ... -
Transit planning in Curitiba and Bogotá : roles in interaction, risk, and change
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)What is the role of planners in the planning process for new transit modes? By documenting transit-planning processes in Curitiba and Bogota from 1955-95 and 1986-2001, respectively, this work demonstrates that in both ... -
Transit preferential treatment : a public policy-making perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Buses and in general at-grade public transportation remain the most important component of transit services in all the urban areas, whether they are feeder to a heavy rail system or an independent network. However, the ... -
A transit route simulator for the evaluation of control strategies using automatically collected data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis develops and tests an extensible simulation model that uses automatically collected transit data to simulate transit route operations, demand, and control mechanisms. This model is motivated by the increasing ... -
Transit security : quality of life issues and strategies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Transit timing variations of the exoplanet K2-25b
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Transit light curves of the exoplanet K2-25b were studied to examine the possibility of transit timing variations (TTVs) in the system, which could imply the presence of a perturbing planet. Observations of K2-25b transits ... -
Transit timing with fast cameras on large telescopes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Timing and system parameters were measured for seven transiting exoplanets: OGLETR- 56b (11 transits), OGLE-TR-132b (7), OGLE-TR-111b (6), OGLE-TR-113b (6), CoRoT-2b (3), OGLE-TR-10b (3), and XO-2b (2). Ground-based ... -
Transit usage and urban form : lessons for transit reliant neighborhoods
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)Cities are all about people and places. Travel occurs because people want to get to places - places of work, places of residence, places of shopping and so on. Hence, it is people and places that are more important, not ... -
Transit vehicle maintenance : a framework for the development of more productive programs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
Transit-oriented development and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail : shaping urban design patterns in northern New Jersey
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This thesis investigates the influence of a new transit system on mature urban environments. The confluence of evolving socio-economic trends, cultural travel behaviors, and existing urban contexts, is changing how cities ...
