Optimal Design of Integrated Semi-Flexible Transit Services in Low-Demand Conditions

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2023
Semi-flexible transit (SFT) is commonly discussed as a cost-effective alternative to serving public transportation users in low-demand conditions. We hypothesize that joint optimization of service headway and slack time per trip for route deviation is ...

Consistent with the literature, local law enforcement has a crime reduction effect and a crime diversion effect. The former confers a spillover benefit to the other municipality, while the latter a spillover cost. If the net spillovers are positive (
