"What services should you operate in a bus corridor? and what can we achieve in time savings, reliability and comfort if properly controlled?"
Abstract
"In this talk we will discuss two very relevant aspects of operating a high demand urban bus corridor.
a) In these corridors, the use of express bus services that serve only a subset of stops along certain routes seem to be a promising alternative given the benefits they offer to both users and…

Abstract
The standard method for predicting traffic flows on urban road networks is based on the principle that drivers seek their own least cost routes from their origins to their destinations. This principle results in a user equilibrium (UE) in which all used routes between each origin-destination pair have equal costs and no unused…
