Book Description
(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 passenger survey. The proposed algorithm takes advantage of the pattern of a person's consecutive transit trip segments. In particular the study examines the rail-to-bus case (which is ignored by prior studies) by integrating AFC and AVL data and utilizing GIS and DBMS technologies. A software tool is developed to facilitate the implementation of the algorithm. The other study is of rail path choice, which employs the Logit and Mixed Logit models to examine revealed public transit riders' travel behavior based on the inferred OD matrix and the transit network attributes. This study is based on two data sources: the rail trip OD matrix inferred in the first case study and the attributes of alternative paths calculated from a network representation in Trans CAD. This study demonstrates that a rigorous traveler behavior analysis can be performed based on the data source from ADC systems. Both cases illustrate the potential as well as the difficulty of utilizing these systems and more importantly demonstrate that at relatively low marginal cost, ADC systems can provide transit agencies with a rich information source to support decision making. The impact of a new data collection strategy ...

Book Description
Collecting fares through "smart cards" is becoming standard in most advanced public transport networks of major cities around the world. Travellers value their convenience and operators the reduced money handling fees. Electronic tickets also make it easier to integrate fare systems, to create complex time and space differentiated fare systems, and to provide incentives to specific target groups. A less-utilised benefit is the data collected through smart cards. Records, even if anonymous, provide for a much better understanding of passengers’ travel behaviour as current literature shows. This information can also be used for better service planning. Public Transport Planning with Smart Card Data handles three major topics: how passenger behaviour can be estimated using smart card data, how smart card data can be combined with other trip databases, and how the public transport service level can be better evaluated if smart card data is available. The book discusses theory as well as applications from cities around the world and will be of interest to researchers and practitioners alike who are interested in the state-of-the-art as well as future perspectives that smart card data will bring.

Book Description
"Schedule-Based Modeling of Transportation Networks: Theory and Applications" follows the book Schedule-Based Dynamic Transit Modeling, published in this series in 2004, recognizing the critical role that schedules play in transportation systems. Conceived for the simulation of transit systems, in the last few years the schedule-based approach has been expanded and applied to operational planning of other transportation schedule services besides mass transit, e.g. freight transport. This innovative approach allows forecasting the evolution over time of the on-board loads on the services and their time-varying performance, using credible user behavioral hypotheses. It opens new frontiers in transportation modeling to support network design, timetable setting, and investigation of congestion effects, as well as the assessment of such new technologies, such as users system information (ITS technologies).
