A town planner, faced with the task of designing attractive walking spaces, needs a tool that will allow different designs to be compared in terms of their attractiveness as w...

Carbon-friendly travel plan construction using an evolutionary algorithm

Conference Proceeding
Urquhart, N. B., & Urquhart, N. B. (2007)
Carbon-friendly travel plan construction using an evolutionary algorithm. In H. Lipson (Ed.), GECCO '07: Proceedings of the 9th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation (2269). https://doi.org/10.1145/1276958.1277404
This paper discusses the use of an evolutionary algorithm to design workplace travel plans, to promote car sharing and reduce carbon emissions from single-occupancy motor veh...

Effect of attribute perceptions on mode choice behavior in a transit market.

Journal Article
Wan, Q., & Lo, H. K. (2005)
Effect of attribute perceptions on mode choice behavior in a transit market. Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, 6, 1740-1750. https://doi.org/10.11175/easts.6.1740
Random utility models are often used to model traveler mode choice behavior in the demand analysis of a transit system. Transit operators might base their policy and operation...

A mixed integer formulation for multiple-route transit network design.

Journal Article
Wan, Q. K., & Lo, H. K. (2003)
A mixed integer formulation for multiple-route transit network design. Journal of Mathematical Modelling and Algorithms, 2(4), 299-308. https://doi.org/10.1023/B%3AJMMA.0000020425.99217.cd
We consider the design of multiple transit lines in a network and present a mixed integer formulation for this multiple-route transit network design problem (MRTNDP). With the...
