Journal Article
Islam, M. F., Fonzone, A., MacIver, A., & Dickinson, K. (2020)
Use of ubiquitous real-time bus passenger information. IET Intelligent Transport Systems, 14(3), 139-147. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-its.2019.0324
Ubiquitous real-time passenger information (URTPI) enhances the perceived quality of service of public transport and enables travellers to make better pre-trip and en-route tr...

Illegal pedestrian crossing at signalised junctions in urban areas: the impact of spatial factors.

Conference Proceeding
Mayeux, A., Lovreglio, R., Saleh, W., & Fonzone, A. (2015)
Illegal pedestrian crossing at signalised junctions in urban areas: the impact of spatial factors. In TRB 94th Annual Meeting Compendium of Papers
Much has still to be done to increase pedestrian safety. Illegal crossing at signalised junctions may increase the risk of accidents at the intersections where it takes place ...

Seat capacity and hyperpath choice on-board: alight or remain seated?

Presentation / Conference
Schmoecker, J., Shimamoto, H., Kurauchi, F., Fonzone, A., & Bell, M. G. H. (2010, July)
Seat capacity and hyperpath choice on-board: alight or remain seated?. Paper presented at 12th World Congress on Transport Research, Lisbon, Portugal
The rationale for the definition of a set of paths referred to as “hyperpath” is that some uncertainty (for example waiting time) means that the choice of a specific option is...

Bus bunching along a corridor served by two lines

Journal Article
Schmöcker, J., Sun, W., Fonzone, A., & Liu, R. (2016)
Bus bunching along a corridor served by two lines. Transportation research. Part B, Methodological, 93(Part A), 300-317. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trb.2016.07.005
Headway fluctuations and “bus bunching” are well known phenomena on many bus routes where an initial delay to one service can disturb the whole schedule due to resulting diffe...

Effects of transit real-time information usage strategies.

Journal Article
Fonzone, A., & Schmoecker, J. (2014)
Effects of transit real-time information usage strategies. Transportation research record, 2417, 121-129. https://doi.org/10.3141/2417-13
Real-time information is becoming increasingly available to transit travellers. This paper discusses the effects of RTI available before the start of a journey in terms of lin...

Time-dependent Hyperstar algorithm for robust vehicle navigation in time-dependent stochastic road networks.

Presentation / Conference
Bell, M. G. H., Trozzi, V., Hosseinloo, S. H., Gentile, G., & Fonzone, A. (2010, July)
Time-dependent Hyperstar algorithm for robust vehicle navigation in time-dependent stochastic road networks. Paper presented at 4th International Symposium on Transportation Network Reliability
The vehicle navigation problem studied in Bell (2009) is revisited and a time-dependent reverse Hyperstar algorithm is presented. This minimises the expected time of arrival a...
