Monograph

This issue contains 15 papers concerned with transit. Specific topics addressed include: the jobs-housing balance of bus commuters in Beijing; presignals at oversaturated signalized intersections; transit signal priority with connected vehicle technology; combinatorial optimization for the Guangzhou, China, bus rapid transit system; and route selection and running-time savings estimation for multiscenario all-door bus boarding. Other topics include: optimal connected urban bus networks of priority lanes; bus lane obstruction and usage in New York City; buses with high level of service in Nantes, France; modeling bus dwell time with decision tree-based methods; and transit signal priority strategies. In addition, the papers address: user behavior in multiroute bus corridors; the effects of modal conflicts on transit reliability; flex scheduling for bus arrival time prediction; characteristics of intercity bus passengers in Michigan; and the regulation of intercity bus stops in New York City.
