Urban rapid transit network capacity expansion [PDF]

European Journal of Operational Research, 2008
This paper examines a multi-period capacity expansion problem for rapid transit network design. The capacity expansion is realized through the location of train alignments and stations in an urban traffic context by selecting the time periods. The model maximizes the public transportation demand using a limited budget and designing lines for each ...
