Public Transit Planning and Operation
Addresses the Challenges Facing Public Transport Policy Makers and Operators
Public Transit Planning and Operation: Modeling, Practice and Behavior, Second Edition offers new solutions for delivering both better services and greater efficiency—solutions which have been developed and tested by the author in over thirty years of research with mass transit policy makers and operators worldwide. It bridges the worlds of practice, research, and academia, provides an overview and a critique of currently used operational planning methods, and furnishes innovative practical techniques and modelling.
Improve Service Performance and Successfully Manage the Costs of Operation
This new edition introduces new material on timetabling and vehicle scheduling with different vehicle sizes, new methods of designing transit route networks, analysis of transit coordination and connectivity, and behavioural aspects of passengers, including when making transfers. It also explores innovative methods related to automation and optimisation which can be used in real time to significantly improve service reliability.
- Combines academic research with real-world project experience
- Focuses on issues encountered in practice
- Provides unique coverage of the field
Public Transit Planning and Operation: Modeling, Practice and Behavior, Second Edition incorporates a series of themes and new ways of thinking about planning and operation. Bridging the gap between theory and application, this text outlines the factors affecting public-transport services, addresses common problems, and offers practical solutions for improvement.
