Development and Evaluation of Bus Operation Control System Based on Cooperative Speed Guidance

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2015
Buses often have strong bunching or large interval tendency when traveling further along the route. To restrain this further deterioration of operation service, this paper developed a bus operation control system to dynamically adjust bus speed, bus ...

Bus Operations Scheduling Subject to Resource Constraints Using Evolutionary Optimization

open access: yesInformatics, 2018
In public transport operations, vehicles tend to bunch together due to the instability of passenger demand and traffic conditions. Fluctuation of the expected waiting times of passengers at bus stops due to bus bunching is perceived as service ...

Reliability of Supply and the Impact of Weather Exposure and Protection System Failures

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Extreme weather is known to cause failure bunching in electrical transmission systems. However, protection systems can also contribute to the worsening of the system state through various failure modes—spontaneous, missing or unwanted operation.

Multiobjective Optimal Formulations for Bus Fleet Size of Public Transit under Headway-Based Holding Control

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Transportation, 2019
In recent years, with the development of advanced technologies for data collection, real-time bus control strategies have been implemented to improve the daily operation of transit systems, especially headway-based holding control which is a proven ...

An Improved Model for Headway-Based Bus Service Unreliability Prevention with Vehicle Load Capacity Constraint at Bus Stops

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2012
This paper presents an improved model for improving headway-based bus route service reliability at bus stops using real-time preventive operation control, taking into account dynamic interaction among random passenger demand, stochastic driving ...

Simulation-Based Sensitivity Analysis for Evaluating Factors Affecting Bus Service Reliability: A Big and Smart Data Implementation

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Service quality is a significant concern for both providers and users of public transportation. It is crucial for transit agencies to clearly recognize the causes of unreliability before adapting any improvement strategy.

Bus bunching along a corridor served by two lines [PDF]

open access: yesTransportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2016
Headway fluctuations and “bus bunching” are well known phenomena on many bus routes where an initial delay to one service can disturb the whole schedule due to resulting differences in dwell times of subsequent buses at stops. This paper deals with the influence of a frequent but so far largely neglected characteristic of bus networks on bus bunching ...

From Rating System to Thought Leadership: The Evolution of the Canada Green Building Council

open access: yesBusiness Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green Building Social Movement Organizations encourage the adoption of green buildings, primarily by promoting sustainability rating tools. While numerous papers have explored the market impact of these sustainability rating tools, very few have examined either the lengthy and protracted process of their selection and enrollment by ...

Integrating Bus Holding Control Strategies and Schedule Recovery: Simulation-Based Comparison and Recommendation

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Transportation, 2018
In the absence of control strategies, headway fluctuation and bus bunching are commonly observed in transit operation due to the stochastic attributes such as travel time and passenger demand.

Launch support: Managing complementor bottlenecks in the disruptive innovation of small satellites

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 758-803, March 2026.
Abstract Research Summary Through both qualitative and quantitative analyses of large‐rocket providers' support for small‐satellite manufacturers before the emergence of small rockets, we examine how disruptors to an incumbent ecosystem gain support from complementors of the incumbent technology.
