Evaluating the value of new metro lines using route diversity measures: The case of Hong Kong's Mass Transit Railway system

HY Chan, A Chen, G Li, X Xu, W Lam - Journal of Transport Geography, 2021 - Elsevier
Abstract The Mass Transit Railway (MTR) serves as the backbone of the Hong Kong public
transportation network and continues to be expanded in phases. Nevertheless, occasional …

C-logit stochastic user equilibrium model: formulations and solution algorithm

Z Zhou, A Chen, S Bekhor - Transportmetrica, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
This article considers the stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) problem with the route choice
model based on the C-logit function. The C-logit model has a simple closed-form analytical …

Transportation network redundancy: Complementary measures and computational methods

X Xu, A Chen, S Jansuwan, C Yang, S Ryu - Transportation Research Part …, 2018 - Elsevier
Redundancy is vital for transportation networks to provide utility to users during disastrous
events. In this paper, we develop two network-based measures for systematically …

A model system for the ex-ante assessment of city logistics measures

F Russo, A Comi - Research in transportation economics, 2011 - Elsevier
This paper proposes a model system developed in order to support ex-ante assessment of
city logistics measures. The model system allows us to simulate the choices of each decision …

A modelling system to simulate goods movements at an urban scale

F Russo, A Comi - Transportation, 2010 - Springer
The paper reports a modelling system to simulate goods movements at an urban scale. It
allows joint analysis of choices made by end-consumers (assumed to be families) and …

Examining the scaling effect and overlap** problem in logit-based stochastic user equilibrium models

A Chen, S Pravinvongvuth, X Xu, S Ryu… - … Research Part A: Policy …, 2012 - Elsevier
The purpose of this paper is to examine the scaling effect and overlap** problem in a
route choice context using the logit-based stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) principle to …

Metropolis–Hastings sampling of paths

G Flötteröd, M Bierlaire - Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2013 - Elsevier
We consider the previously unsolved problem of sampling paths according to a given
distribution from a general network. The problem is difficult because of the combinatorial …

Freight vehicle routing with reliable link travel times: a method based on network fundamental diagram

G Musolino, A Polimeni, A Vitetta - Transportation Letters, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
This paper presents a procedure for the solution of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP)
based on reliable link travel times. They are obtained as a combination of spatially …

Urban freight models

A Comi, R Donnelly, F Russo - Modelling freight transport, 2014 - Elsevier
The chapter discusses specific challenges and applications for modelling urban distribution.
In fact, the analyses of urban freight transport traditionally focus only on restocking flows and …

Unconstrained weibit stochastic user equilibrium model with extensions

S Kitthamkesorn, A Chen - Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2014 - Elsevier
This study provides an unconstrained minimization program as an alternative formulation for
the multinomial weibit (MNW) stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) model that explicitly …
