The accessibility and development impacts of new transit infrastructure : the Circle Line in Chicago
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
This thesis explores the impacts of new transit infrastructure projects on the land use transportation system. Land use and transportation systems are inherently interconnected and form an integrated system; and transport ...
Developing a contactless bankcard fare engine for Transport for London
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
This thesis investigates the design of a fare engine which operates within the constraints of using contactless bankcards as a fare instrument, while satisfying the complex current and future fare requirements of Transport ...
Calibration of mesoscopic traffic simulation models for dynamic traffic assignment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Stuck with the bill, but why? : an analysis of the Portuguese public finance system with respect to surface transportation policy and investments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Despite decentralization progress in other sectors, the Portuguese central government maintains significant administrative and fiscal power over national and sub-national surface transportation operations and infrastructure. ...
Capacity analysis of traffic-actuated intersections
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
The development of more effective operating plans for bus service
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
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 ...
Network design and fleet allocation model for vessel operation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Containership operators in the U.S. are confronted with a number of problems in the way they make critical fleet allocation decisions to meet the increase of shippers' demands. Instead of the empirical approach, this ...
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 ...
Finding ways out of congestion for the Chicago Loop : a microscopic simulation approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Over the past two decades, the City of Chicago, as many of its counterparts in the U.S., has experienced a great increase in traffic congestion, which limits regional mobility, induces a huge amount of energy waste and ...
