Review: Public transport operators are faced with ever-increasing pressure in competitive markets and congested transit systems, particular during peak hours. They need to be able to estimate passenger demand and to monitor performance of individual services, as well as the system as a whole. and to support better planning and tighter operations management. Reliability and control issues are also important. This book, on advanced modelling for transit operation and service planning, looks at ways of improving transit operations and service planning by making use of new technologies and advanced modelling techniques to meet these growing demands.
