From page 17...
... 17 C h a p t e r 4 For modeling the transit component, FAST-TrIPs is divided into two main submodules: transit assignment and simulation. Above all, the transit assignment submodule plays the role of passenger assignment for given OD pairs.
From page 18...
... 18 and simulation in DynusT. This is indicated on the right side of Figure 1.1, DynusT–FAST-TrIPs integration framework.
From page 19...
... 19 vehicles at stops, including the following: a vehicle pulls out of the traffic stream at bus pullouts but remains in the traffic stream for curbside stops; dwell times allow for passengers to alight and to board, depending on passenger type (pedestrian, bicycle, wheelchair) ; a bus may bypass a stop if no passengers want to board or alight (so-called hail stop operation)
From page 20...
... 20 processing a subset of stops and finds the shortest path in a shorter amount of time compared to traditional shortest path algorithms. The general form of the algorithm is shown in Figure 4.2; the form can be either label-setting or labelcorrecting, but the label-correcting form is used for the application in this project.
From page 21...
... 21 The result of the TBSP is a shortest path tree from the origin to all destinations. So the path to a specific destination will be found by tracking the predecessors from the destination stop to the origin stop.
From page 22...
... 22 In FAST-TrIPs, these data are used in a simulation of transit passenger travel. This simulation likewise follows a high temporal resolution, using a 1-second interval.
From page 23...
... 23 In the transit assignment, intermodal passenger trips are modeled similarly to other passenger trips with the difference that either the origin or the destination is a park-andride location. The assignment model generates the path for passengers, and the passengers are simulated at the same time with other passengers.
