Design of Personal Rapid Transit Networks for Transit-Oriented Development Cities

Record Type: UTC
This study seeks to address the transit network design problem which identifies the optimal route and location of stations considering user behavior and advanced traveler information systems. In general, network design problems are mainly focused on finding solutions to minimize the travel cost and delay without explicitly considering traveler behavior related to travel mode and route choices. Using the mode choice models, travel demands by travel mode will be projected and used as inputs to the network design problem. The study will also explore the ability to leverage Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) technologies to enhance the amenability of Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) services.
