High Speed Rail in Greece : methods for evaluating economic impacts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
High Speed Rail is a mode that gains popularity every day. Many countries have such a network and others are on the way to adopting one. Greece, which is part of the European Union, is one of those countries that are looking ...
Integration of public transportation systems : the case of Gipuzkoa, Spain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
This thesis studies the integration of public transportation systems, focusing on the development of strategies to implement such goal for networks operated by different service agencies. A literature review on public ...
Benefits of emerging transportation technologies : simulation analysis and policy issues
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
This thesis explores the quantification of transportation technology benefits, through simultaneous consideration of technical and policy issues. Benefits are first defined and identified based on current literature and ...
Improving the estimation of platform wait time at the London Underground
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
In recent years, the proliferation of automatically collected data has allowed many transit agencies to complete more frequent and thorough analyses of service quality. However, while the types and quality of automatically ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
Public transit agencies across the world have been moving towards electronic ticketing technology and to take advantage of the greater flexibility, have made changes in fare structure. Over the last decade, Transport for ...
Driven to congestion : how the planning, engineering and politics of transportation established, preserves and perpetuates the automobile city
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
The last eight decades of urban transportation planning and engineering in the United States have been dominated by the hegemony of the automobile. Auto-oriented planning of the transportation and land use system has had ...
Applications of ASDE-X Data to the analysis of airport surface operations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
While much attention has been given to analyzing and optimizing problems in air transportation, relatively little research has gone into studying airport surface operations. In recent years a surface surveillance system ...
Urban transportation networks : analytical modeling of spatial dependencies and calibration techniques for stochastic traffic simulators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Exact numerical evaluation of the stationary joint queue-length distribution of a Markovian finite capacity network with arbitrary size and topology can be obtained numerically. Nonetheless, the main challenge to such an ...
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 ...
