Description
This thesis contributes to the area of transportation network design at the strategic level, considering objectives for the passenger and operator. The main goal of the research is to improve the existing methods by developing new and more rigorous approaches to integrating route choice, service frequency and adequately accounting for passenger waiting time. An exact model was developed: providing a concise non-ambiguous description to the problem. Case study problem instances found that exact methods implemented by commercial solvers are not scalable for practical problems. Therefore, meta-heuristics were presented to find near-optimal solutions efficiently and demonstrate the practicality of the model in the real-world.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
