  2. 1. Making Equity in Public Transport Count

    Author : Isak Rubensson; Yusak Susilo; Oded Cats; Karst Geurs; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Public transport; Subsidies; Fare-schemes; Accessibility; Crowding; transport justice; Equity; Distribution; Gini index; Lorenz curves; Customer satisfaction; Service quality; Preferences; Reliability; Transportsystem; Transport Systems; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : Political and public focus on equity and justice outcomes of public policies is on the rise all over the world. Equity is both philosophically motivated and often decreed by law and in planning directives to be monitored when policies are changed, however oftentimes these equity assessments are vague, qualitative and carries low weight in policy decision processes.

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. Congestion Effects in Transport Modelling and Forecasting

    Author : Jens West; Maria Börjesson; Carlo Giamoco Prato; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : Transport investments and policies are increasingly turned towards dealing with transport congestion rather than with shortening the potential free flow travel time. However, appraisal methodologies for projects meant to reduce congestion are relatively less well developed compared to methodologies for projects aiming to reduce travel times. READ MORE

  6. 4. Simulation and Evaluation of Urban Rail On-board Crowding

    Author : Soumela Peftitsi; Erik Jenelius; Oded Cats; Andreas Tapani; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

    Abstract : As travel demand grows in many metropolitan areas, overcrowding in public transport systems has become a major issue. Crowding distribution can be highly uneven over station platforms and multi-car transit vehicles. This implies that cars are not equally utilized and thus, passengers perceive on-board crowding higher. READ MORE
