Developing bus rapid transit [PDF]
Writing on geographical development, James Sidaway (2012:49) asks "how useful is it to talk about the geography of development or of developing countries"? It is a topic that has been discussed at length by academics and practitioners in the field of development studies, yet reverberations seem not to have penetrated certain areas of transport studies ...

Safety Evaluation of Transit Signal Priority with Bus Speed Volatility as a Surrogate Measure: Case Study in Minnesota [PDF]
Previous studies have found correlations between the implementation of transit signal priority (TSP) and the reduction in number of crashes. To further understand how TSP affects traffic safety, a more in-depth evaluation was carried out using detailed bus automatic vehicle location (AVL) data. The data was from Minneapolis-Saint Paul Metro Transit Bus

Bus Rapid Transit: An Overview
The Federal Transit Administration defines bus rapid transit (BRT) as a "rapid mode of transportation that can combine the quality of train transit and the flexibility of buses. The following 7 components 'make' BRT: running ways; stations; vehicles; services; route structure; fare collection; and intelligent transportation systems.

Robust Dynamic Bus Control: A Distributional Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning Approach [PDF]
Bus system is a critical component of sustainable urban transportation. However, the operation of a bus fleet is unstable in nature, and bus bunching has become a common phenomenon that undermines the efficiency and reliability of bus systems. Recently research has demonstrated the promising application of multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) to ...

Bus Operation Monitoring Oriented Public Transit Travel Index System and Calculation Models
This study proposed a two-dimensional index system which is concerned essentially with urban travel based on travel modes and user satisfaction. First, the public transit was taken as an example to describe the index system establishing process.
