Podium Session 4: Redesigning Large-Scale Multimodal Transit Networks with Shared Autonomous Mobility Services

Title: Redesigning Large-Scale Multimodal Transit Networks with Shared Autonomous Mobility Services
Authors: Max T.M. Ng, Hani S. Mahmassani, Ömer Verbas, Taner Cokyasar, Roman Engelhardt
Abstract: This study addresses a large-scale multimodal transit network design problem, with Shared Autonomous Mobility Services (SAMS) as both transit feeders and an origin-to-destination mode. The framework captures spatial demand and modal characteristics, considers intermodal transfers and express services, determines transit infrastructure investment an...

Podium Session 4: Design of Mixed Fixed-Flexible Bus Public Transport Networks by Tracking the Paths of On-Demand Vehicles

Title: Design of Mixed Fixed-Flexible Bus Public Transport Networks by Tracking the Paths of On-Demand Vehicles
Authors: Andrés Fielbaum, Javier Alonso-Mora
Abstract: On-demand ridepooling (ODRP) vehicles follow routes that are fully flexible. However, when the system does not provide door-to-door service and users can be asked to walk, their paths tend to concentrate, particularly along main streets that connect highly demanded areas of the city. These frequently travelled segments are hence useful to multiple ...

Podium Session 4: Bus Stop Spacing with Heterogeneous Trip Lengths and Elastic Demand

Title: Bus Stop Spacing with Heterogeneous Trip Lengths and Elastic Demand
Authors: Ayush Pandey, Lewis J. Lehe
Abstract: This paper develops models of a bus route in which (i) stop spacing can vary; (ii) trip lengths are heterogeneous; (iii) demand is elastic; and (iv) passengers delay the bus. Since wider spacings make sufficiently long trips faster, and sufficiently short trips slower, they induce long trips and repel short trips. We explore two continuum-approxima...
