Using passenger flows to determine key interchange connections for public transport synchronization

For large urban networks and hubs, optimizing transfer synchronization becomes computationally challenging. The objective of this paper is therefore to develop a generic, data-driven methodology to determine the key line/direction-combinations to synchronize based on passenger flows. We developed an approach to detect communities of directional...

Assessing disruption management strategies in rail-bound urban public transport systems from a passenger perspective

This paper provides a framework for generating and assessing alternatives<br/>in case of disruptions in rail-bound urban public transport systems,. The proposed<br/>framework considers the passenger perspective as well as the operator perspective,<br/>for the often-used measures of detouring and short-turning. An application of the<br/>framework...
