An Automated Detection Framework for Multiple Highway Bottleneck Activations

Highway bottlenecks are responsible for the majority of traffic congestion. Although the problem of bottleneck detection is not new, contemporary methods have not solved the problem thoroughly with regards to bottleneck locations, activation time, and related congestion tracking. These elements are essential for identifying and characterizing a...

Modelling growth principles of metropolitan public transport networks

The development of metropolitan public transport networks often involves choosing between investing in extending radial lines or constructing ring connections. While the former enlarges network coverage the latter enhances network connectivity and reduces the need to perform detours. Moreover, investments might be better directed at...

Can Passenger Flow be Explained by Network Topology in Public Transport?

It has been rarely investigated in the field of public transport whether passenger ow can be explained by network topology. Based on the rich data sets from The Hague, The Netherlands, we conduct this study try- ing to shed light upon this question. The relation between passenger ow and topological measures in different public transport network...
