Textbook:Modelling intelligent multi-modal transit systems
Author(s): Lam, William H. K

Description:
This coursebook has three main parts. The first part presents analyses of several methodological issues connected to the development of new tools supporting short-term forecasting (Chapter 1—Introduction to Modelling Multi-modal Transit Systems in an ITS Context) for transit operations control (Chapter 2—New Applications of ITS to Real-time Transit Operations) and for traveller information provision (Chapter 3—A New Generation of Individual Real-time Transit Information Systems).
The second part of the book explores some aspects of real-time multi-model transit modelling.

It starts from the general simulation framework (Chapter 4—Realtime Operations Management Decision Support Systems: A Conceptual Framework) and then investigates path choice modelling (Chapter 5—Realtime Modelling of Normative Travel Strategies on Unreliable Dynamic Transit Networks: A Framework Analysis and Chapter 6—A Dynamic Strategy-based Path Choice Modelling in Real-time Transit Simulation), dynamic routing (Chapter 7—Time-dependent Shortest Hyperpaths for Dynamic Routing on Transit Networks) and reverse assignment methods (Chapter 8—Real-time Reverse Dynamic Assignment for Multiservice Transit Systems).
The third part of this book finally reports some recent developments in transit modelling for planning (Chapter 9—Optimal Schedules for Multi-modal Transit Services: An Activity-based Approach) and design of multi-modal transit systems (Chapter 10—Transit Network Design with Stochastic Demand).
