Hybrid Model Predictive Control of Bus Transport Systems

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel

Schedule instability adversely affects the performance of bus transport systems. Bus bunching and similar irregularities decrease quality of bus services and increase travel times. In this regard, bus system management schemes are of high importance. Motiv ...

Cost-Benefit Analysis of Electric Bus Fleet with Various Operation Intervals

Francesco Baldi

Electric buses are particularly suitable for city and suburban routes due to zero local exhaust and noise emissions. The operation schedule interval defines the charging power, bus fleet size and total cost of ownership of a bus. We propose a novel cost-be ...

Continuous structural health monitoring for short and medium span bridges

Ayaho Miyamoto

In this paper, although there are some useful monitoring methods for short and medium span(10-20m) bridges based on the qualitative or quantitative information, mainly two advanced structural health monitoring systems are described to review and analyses t ...

Hybrid Modeling and Predictive Control of Bus Transport Systems

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel

Bus operations, due to their unstable nature, are inefficient when left to their own devices. Irregularities such as bus bunching lead to loss of time and decrease bus service quality. Development of bus transport system management schemes to avoid bus bun ...

Dynamical Modeling and Predictive Control of Bus Transport Systems: A Hybrid Systems Approach

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel

Bus operations, due to their unstable nature, are inefficient when left uncontrolled with respect to retaining headways. Irregularities such as bus bunching lead to loss of time and decrease bus service quality. Development of bus transport system manageme ...

A three-dimensional macroscopic fundamental diagram for mixed bi-modal urban networks

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng, Konstantinos Ampountolas

Recent research has studied the existence and the properties of a macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) for large urban networks. The MFD should not be universally expected as high scatter or hysteresis might appear for some type of networks, like heteroge ...

The School Bus Problem on Trees

Laura Sanità, Adrian Aloysius Bock

The School Bus Problem is an NP-hard vehicle routing problem in which the goal is to route buses that transport children to a school such that for each child, the distance travelled on the bus does not exceed the shortest distance from the child's home to ...
