Abstract:
Shared bicycle users with commuting purposes generally need to take a traditional public transit and then use the shared bicycle to complete the first/last mile transport. While shared bicycle provides convenient travel for travelers, it also brings a series of problems such as disorderly parking and road occupancy. Therefore, exploring the problem of travel mode shift between shared bicycle and public transit is of significance for improving the traffic environment and increasing the sharing rate of public transit. This paper introduces the flex-route transit system and quantitatively analyze

Abstract:
Flex-route transit is regarded as the feasible solution to provide flexible service for various demands. To improve the service of flex-route transit, this paper proposes a design framework with the input of multi-type demands. Firstly, according to the multi-feature-based classification method, static stations and dynamic stations are divided by hierarchical clustering algorithm based on historical demands. Secondly, in the two-stage planning method, an offline plan is generated by multi-route design model and route-design-oriented genetic algorithm based on the classified stations and the fl

Abstract:
Given the distinct operational features of flex-route transit (FRT) compared to conventional fixed-route systems, this study integrates FRT with urban rail transit and proposes a collaborative optimization approach for feeder flex-route operations and scheduling. The model incorporates path planning, timetable design, and vehicle scheduling to minimize travel costs, enhance operational efficiency, and improve service quality. A mixed-integer nonlinear programming method is applied to optimize scheduling while aligning with rail timetables and passenger transfer behavior. Simulation experiments

Abstract:
To improve the reliability, responsiveness, and productivity of the flex-route transit service, this paper investigates the vehicle scheduling and routing problem under a dynamic operating environment. First, we discuss the new operating polices after the introduction of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), including automatic vehicle location (AVL) system, mobile data terminal (MDT), and computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system. Second, a mixed integer programming (MIP) formulation is employed to solve the offline routing problem. Third, an online scheduling scheme is presented to tackle di

Abstract:
A theoretical investigation is presented of various issues involved in the planning and design of flex-route transit services. An analytical model is proposed for an idealized operating environment with the objective of determining the optimal slack time that should be allocated to a flexroute segment. The optimization objective is defined to minimize total operator and user cost, which enables a systematic examination of complex interactions among the system parameters. An equation is derived for the relationship between the number of feasible deviations and various system parameters such as

Abstract:
Information about the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission operational test is presented. The test focuses on service planning for the local flex-route transit services and the flag-stop commuter-rail feeder services, as well as their start-ups. Although the intelligent transportation system (ITS) operational test involves the application of automated vehicle location and real-time order-taking, scheduling, and dispatching of software, the planning and start-up operations of the non-ITS-enhanced phase of the flex-route and feeder services are addressed.

Abstract:
The emergence of battery electric buses (BEBs) can alleviate environmental problems caused by tailpipe emissions in transit system. However, the high cost of on-board batteries and range anxiety hinder its further development. Recently, the advent of dynamic wireless power transfer technology (DWPT) has become a potential solution to promote the development of BEBs. Hence, this study focuses on the application of DWPT in flex-route transit system. A mixed integer non-linear model is proposed to simultaneously optimise the bus routing and the selection of corresponding bus types considering the

Ces dernières années, on a assisté à une tendance croissante à l'adoption de solutions de transport flexibles telles que le transport à la demande (DRT), principalement en raison du confort accru qu'elles offrent aux passagers. Cependant, cette flexibilité s’accompagne d’importants coûts économiques. Par conséquent, les autorités de transport explorent actuellement des méthodes pour augmenter la flexibilité des transports publics conventionnels (CPT), qui sont plus conservateurs que le DRT.

Abstract:
The rapid expansion of low-density suburban areas in North America has led to new travel patterns that require transit services to be more flexible. Flex-Route transit service, which combines fixed-route transit service with elements of demand-responsive transit service, has emerged as a viable transit option to address the travel needs of the residents of these areas. Existing literature in this field, however, is limited and lacks any comprehensive analysis of Flex-Route planning, design and scheduling.

Abstract The manifold microchannel heat sink receives an increasing number of attention lately due to its high heat flux dissipation. Numerical investigation of boiling phenomena in manifold microchannel (MMC) heat sinks remains a challenge due to the complexity of fluid route and the limitation of numerical accuracy. In this study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach including subcooled two-phase flow boiling process and conjugate heat transfer effect is performed using a MMC unit cell model.

Abstract:
A common threat to thick-walled vessels and pipes is thermal shock from operational steady-state or transient thermoelastic stresses. As such, boundary conditions must be known or determined in order to reveal the underlying thermal state. For direct problems where all boundary conditions are known, the procedure is relatively straightforward and mathematically tractable as shown by recent studies. Although more practical from a measurement standpoint, the inverse problem where boundary conditions must be determined from remotely determined temperature and/or flux data is ill-posed and inheren

A probabilistic, transient, three-phase model of chemical transport through human skin has been developed to assess the relative importance of uncertain parameters and processes during chemical exposure assessments and transdermal drug delivery. Penetration routes through the skin that were modeled include the following: (1) intercellular diffusion through the multiphase stratum corneum; (2) aqueous-phase diffusion through sweat ducts; and (3) oil-phase diffusion through hair follicles. Uncertainty distributions were developed for the model parameters, and a Monte Carlo analysis was performed
