“…For example, decisions regarding whether a bus or train should wait for another delayed vehicle could be made with better information at hand, e.g., on how long is the expected waiting time and how many travelers are expected to board the waiting bus or train. IoT can in different ways provide information relevant for such decisions, which is useful (or necessary) for efficient traffic management, see for instance [10,11]. Examples of relevant information potentially provided by IoT are how many travelers are currently on a public transport vehicle and what are their intended destinations.…”

Abstract:We investigate the opportunities and challenges of the forth wave of digitalization, also referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT), with respect to public transport and how it can support sustainable development of society. Environmental, economical, and social perspectives are considered through analysis of the existing literature and explorative studies. We conclude that there are great opportunities for both transport operators and planners, as well as for the travelers. We describe and analyze a number of concrete opportunities for each of these actors. However, in order to realize these opportunities, there are also a number of challenges that needs to be addressed. There are both technical challenges, such as data collection issues, interoperability, scalability and information security, and non-technical challenges such as business models, usability, privacy issues, and deployment.

Consideration of traffic fluctuations from the viewpoint of assessing the quality of transport services [1][2][3] provides for a general analysis of the duration of excess passenger travel time by the UPPT route network.…”

“…Investigation of the processes of the origin of motion fluctuations along the sections of the routes, which are given attention in [4][5][6], is aimed at determining the internal technological impacts on the performance of individual elements of the UPPT route network. In these works, the appearance of fluctuations in the sections of routes is considered on the basis of an analysis of motion conditions for the aggregate of individual races.…”

“…The vehicle scheduling problem (VSP) has become an extensively studied research area in the last decades; in this context, an ultimate overview of literature in planning and control of bus transport exists in [1]. However, the principal problem consists in the process of minimizing the assignment costs of vehicles to a given set of timetabled trips, including two main constraints as follows: (i) each trip is assigned exactly once; and (ii) each vehicle performs a feasible sequence of trips.…”

ResumenEn este documento, proponemos una programación lineal entera (ILP) con el objetivo de optimizar la generación de horarios y el problema de programación de tipo de vehículo (VTSP), basado en una red de tiempo y espacio (TSN). El modelo se definió como un problema de programación de tipo de vehículo con cambios secuenciales de horario (VTSP-SCT). Además, desarrollamos una nueva metodología para insertar una ventana de tiempo al problema propuesto en base a pequeños cambios en la estructura TSN, con una implementación computacional sencilla y una solución óptima en tiempos de ejecución de computación bajos. Al incluir pequeños cambios en el cronograma y/o incluir ventanas de tiempo para programar viajes, introdujimos niveles de flexibilidad en los horarios de salida de los viajes, lo que resulta en ventajas operacionales para el proveedor del servicio. Dado que usamos un intervalo de ventana de tiempo muy corto, el horario actual solo se modifica ligeramente, cambiando mínimamente las rutinas de los pasajeros. Los enfoques desarrollados fueron probados usando instancias aleatorias basadas en una ciudad brasileña. El VTSP-SCT con y sin ventanas de tiempo ha resultado en ahorros relevantes en las operaciones diarias del servicio de transporte público, reduciendo el número requerido de vehículos programados para llevar a cabo la demanda histórica. Palabras clave: programación de vehículos, logística, transporte público, investigación de operaciones, programación de horarios AbstractIn this paper, we propose an integer linear programming (ILP) aiming at optimizing timetabling generation and the Vehicle Type Scheduling Problem (VTSP), based on a time-space network (TSN). The model was defined as Vehicle Type Scheduling Problem with Sequential Changes of timetable (VTSP-SCT). Additionally, we developed a new methodology to insert time window to the proposed problem based on small changes on the TSN structure, with easy computational implementation and optimal solution at low computation run-times. By including small changes to the timetable and/or including time windows for timetabling trips, we introduced flexibility levels in the departure times of trips, resulting in operational advantages for the service provider. Since we use a very short time window interval, the current timetable is only slightly modified, minimally changing the passenger routines. The developed approaches were tested using random instances based on a Brazilian city. The VTSP-SCT with and without time windows have resulted in relevant savings in the daily operations of the public transportation service, reducing the required number of scheduled vehicles to carry out the historic demand.
