The benefits of public transit in terms of reducing transportation-related greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant emissions is a topic that needs little introduction. The literature swells with studies...
View ArticleSimultaneous Optimization of Signal Timings, Departure Time and Dynamic Speed...
Most previous works of transit signal priority merely focus on optimization of signal timings. Bus speed and dwell time at bus stop are used as exogenous inputs. This paper presents a novel approach...
View ArticleTransit Priority Strategies for Multiple Routes Under Headway-Based Operations
This paper presents a transit signal priority (TSP) model designed to maximize the benefits of both bus riders and all intersection passenger car users. The proposed strategy, mainly for headway-based...

It is increasingly apparent that combining the travel demand modeling and micro simulation modeling techniques can improve model quality and promote modeling productivity. The project is intended to...
View ArticleApplication of a Combined Travel Demand and Microsimulation Model for a Small...
This paper describes the development and application of a multi-modal microsimulation model for the Greater Eureka Area (GEA), a small community of 25,000 in Northern California. The travel demand...
View ArticleEstimating Arterial Performance in Small and Medium-Sized Communities
Transportation professionals in small and medium-sized communities (SMSCs) require planning-level methods and models to estimate arterial street mobility performance. Because financial resources are...
View ArticleActive Traffic Management for Arterials
Active traffic management (or ATM) is the regular adaptation of facility configuration and controls in response to (or in anticipation of) variations in demand, incidents, and weather to maintain...
