    Author : Melvin Jakobsson; Filip Ramslöv; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The airline industry has been one of the fastest growing industries in the past decades. This growth causes an increased strain on all parts of the industry, such as airports. In airports, one of the leading causes of passenger waiting is the check-in process. READ MORE

  3. 2. Waiting for the Magic Bus: Unravelling the Impact of Bus Design on Station Dwell Time : A Comprehensive Analysis and Case Study

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Efrat Aviad; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : With the continuous decrease in average speed in cities, public transport operators need to think of new ways to improve operation efficiency and shorten total trip durations. This thesis investigates how bus design aspects, like door configuration and engine type, can affect the station dwell time, in this case, service time per passenger. READ MORE

  5. 4. Developing A Network Algorithm for Demand Responsive Transit Service in A Rural Area of Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Benny Lam; Peng Shiyi; [2021]
    Keywords : DRT service in rural areas; network algorithm; heuristics algorithm; cost function; Anropstyrd trafik på landsbygden; nätverksalgoritmen; heuristisk algoritm; kostnadsfunktion;

    Abstract : Based on the fact that accessibility in rural areas relies heavily on car traffic, call-driven traffic has been used in different regions to improve public transport usage in rural areas, while it has been difficult to maintain due to high maintenance and long waiting time. Over the past decade, a new demand response transit (DRT) service came into light, which combines with new technologies to provide a more attractive and efficient transport service. READ MORE

  6. 5. Strategic passenger-oriented timetable design : Long-term timetable designs with minimised passenger inconvenience

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Yari de Graaf; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Timetable development and design is a complex process that is crucial for safe and efficient railway operations. The combination of steel wheels and steel rails makes it possible to create trains and to transport many vehicles, thus passengers and freight, at the same time, but it also results in longer braking distances.
