Mitigating bus bunching with real-time crowding information

A Drabicki, R Kucharski, O Cats - Transportation, 2023 - Springer
A common problem in public transport systems is bus bunching, characterized by a negative
feedback loop between service headways, number of boarding passengers and dwell times …

Multi-objective multi-agent deep reinforcement learning to reduce bus bunching for multiline services with a shared corridor

J Wang, L Sun - Transportation Research Part C: Emerging …, 2023 - Elsevier
Bus bunching is a long-standing problem in transit operation and ruining the regularity of
transit service. In a typical urban transit network setting of multiple lines with a shared …

Designing bus rapid transit systems: Lessons on service reliability and operations

R Ishaq, O Cats - Case Studies on Transport Policy, 2020 - Elsevier
Cities worldwide are looking for expanding the capacity of their public transport system while
considering budget limitations. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems are increasingly …

Multi-constrained bus holding control in time windows with branch and bound and alternating minimization

K Gkiotsalitis, O Cats - Transportmetrica B: Transport Dynamics, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
