2. 1. Public transport demand and supply management under uneven passenger distributions

   Author : Soumela Peftitsi; Erik Jenelius; Oded Cats; Achille Fonzone; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; public transport; uneven passenger distribution; transit assignment model; travel behavior; control measures; crowding information; skip-stop; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

   Abstract : Overcrowding in public transport (also known as public transportation, public transit, or transit) systems due to increased travel mobility has become a major problem for public transport operators. Overcrowded transit stations and vehicles are connected to travel time variability and greater discomfort for the passengers. READ MORE

4. 2. Passenger assessments of quality in local public transport- measurement, variability and planning implications

   Author : Helena Sjöstrand; Trafik och väg; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; passenger; public transport; quality; survey; Stated Preference; assessment; assignment; planning; Transportteknik; Transport technology; Road transport technology; Vägtransportteknik;

   Abstract : The aim of this work was to get a more detailed basis for planning of local public transport. With more knowledge of how segments of travellers assess different parts of a journey, bus routes can be planned to fit either all passengers or selected groups better. READ MORE

5. 3. Improving Travel Satisfaction with Public Transport

   Author : Roberto Fernández Abenoza; Yusak Octavius Susilo; Oded Cats; Lars E. Olsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Customer Satisfaction; Service Quality; Public Transport; Door-to-door journey; Trip legs; Multimodal trips; User profiles; Market segmentation; Geographical variations; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

   Abstract : The existing link between PT travelers’ satisfaction, ridership and loyalty prove the relevance of improving overall trip satisfaction. The thesis present an array of approaches and methodologies aiming at increasing overall satisfaction with PT door-to-door trips while covering important issues that previous research has failed to address.

6. 4. Modelling and Appraisal in Congested Transport Networks

   Author : Jens West; Maria Börjesson; Oded Cats; Leonid Engelsson; Giulio Cantarella; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transport modelling; Transit Assignment; Appraisal; Congestion; Crowding; Cost-benefit analysis; Value of time; Congestion charge; Dynamic traffic assignment; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

   Abstract : Appraisal methodologies for congestion mitigation projects are relatively less well developed compared to methodologies for projects reducing free flow travel times. For instance, static assignment models are incapable of representing the build-up and dissipation of traffic queues, or capturing the experienced crowding caused by uneven on-board passenger loads.

7. 5. Dynamic Modelling of Transit Operations and Passenger Decisions

   Author : Oded Cats; Haris Koutsopoulos; Tomer Toledo; Wilson Nigel; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Public Transport; Transit Operations; Simulation Model; Traffic Simulation; Route Choice; Dynamic Model; Assignment Model; Control; SRA - Transport; SRA - Transport;

   Abstract : Efficient and reliable public transport systems are fundamental in promoting green growth developments in metropolitan areas. A large range of Advanced Public Transport Systems (APTS) facilitates the design of real-time operations and demand management. READ MORE
