Public Transit Planning and Operation: Modeling, Practice and Behavior, Second Edition offers new solutions for delivering both better services and greater efficiency, solutions which have been developed and tested by the author in over thirty years of research work with mass transit policy makers and operators all over the world. It bridges the worlds of practice and research and academia, provides an overview and a critique of currently used operational planning methods, and furnishes innovative practical techniques and modeling.
Improve Service Performance and Successfully Manage the Costs of Operation
This new edition brings in new material on timetabling and vehicle scheduling with different vehicle sizes, new methods of designing transit route networks, analysis of transit coordination and connectivity, behavioral aspects of passengers including when making transfers, and innovative methods related to automation and optimization which can be used in real time to significantly improve service reliability.
Combines academic research with real-world project experience
Focuses on issues encountered in practice
Provides unique coverage of the field
Public Transit Planning and Operation: Modeling, Practice and Behavior, Second Edition incorporates a series of themes and new ways of thinking about planning and operation. Bridging the gap between theory and application, this text outlines the factors affecting public-transport services, addresses common problems, and offers practical solutions for improvement.
Avishai (Avi) Ceder received his PhD in 1975 at the University of California at Berkeley, and he is professor and chair of transportation at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, and at the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology. He frequently delivers courses on public-transit operations planning in Asia, Europe, Australasia, and the United States. His research and implementation interests in the subject stem from being a bus driver for four years for a large bus company.
