Show moreFollowing September 11, 2001, numerous security policies have been created which have caused a number of unique challenges in planning for the transportation networks. In particular, there is a need to enhance security by improving collaboration between various transportation modes. The transportation modes are disconnected and have unequal levels of security and efficiency. Tools need to be refined for collaboration and consensus building to serve as catalysts for efficient transportation solutions. In this study, we developed and investigated a mathematical model using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to assess the safety and security of intermodal transportation facilities. The model identifies the best and worst performers by assessing several safety and security-related variables. The DEA model can assess the efficiency level of safety and security of intermodal facilities and identify potential solutions for improvement.

Title: Guidance for Identifying Corridor Conditions that Warrant Deploying Transit Signal Priority and Queue Jump.
Creator: Kaisar, Evangelos I., Hadi, Mohammad, Freight Mobility Research Institute
Abstract/Description: Transit Signal Priority (TSP) is an operational strategy that facilitates the movement of transit vehicles, either buses or streetcars, through traffic-signal controlled intersections. As transportation demand increases various transportation networks are facing increasing congestion. To mitigate the high-density impact of congestion on transit operations, TSP is a significant solution and has been widely applied to improve transit service quality and increase bus ridership.

Show moreTransit Signal Priority (TSP) is an operational strategy that facilitates the movement of transit vehicles, either buses or streetcars, through traffic-signal controlled intersections. As transportation demand increases various transportation networks are facing increasing congestion. To mitigate the high-density impact of congestion on transit operations, TSP is a significant solution and has been widely applied to improve transit service quality and increase bus ridership. TSP can be planed and implemented considering many variables to achieve several valuable benefits such as: reducing transit travel times, better schedule adherence, and better transit efficiency. The objective of this research is to develop warrants and performance standards for transit agencies to implement signal priority based on identified decision factors. The research assesses existing guidelines and provides new guidelines for TSP implementation. Furthermore, this research evaluates the effectiveness of TSP in improving the performance of public transportation bus lines. The improvements are assessed by comparing the total travel time and total delay on the same single corridor with and without TSP applied utilizing microscopic analysis. The results show significant improvements in reducing the travel times and delays for the buses as a result of applying the TSP.

Show moreLogistics play a vital role in the prosperity of today’s cities, but current urban logistics delivery practices have proven problematic and to be causing various negative effects in cities. This study proposes an alternative method for delivering cargo with the leasing of a network of logistics hubs within urban areas for designated daily time intervals and handcart last-mile deliveries. The objective of the study is the development of a mathematical programming model for identifying the optimal number and locations of hubs for serving demand with the minimum cost, as well as the optimal times during the day for leasing the facilities, while also allocating hubs to customers. The problem is effectively solved by applying a Lagrangian relaxation and subgradient optimization approach. Numerical examples and a sensitivity analysis provide evidence of the robustness of the model and its ability to be effectively applied to address real problems.

Title: A Mathematical Modeling Approach Using Time Constraints: The Case of Economies of Scale and Sustainability in Intermodal Facilities.
Creator: Goulianou, Panagiota, Kaisar, Evangelos I., Florida Atlantic University, Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatics Engineering, College of Engineering and Computer Science
Abstract/Description: Over the last thirty years, intermodal freight transportation has been a constantly expanding sector. The vast increase of freight volumes contributes to the increase of various issues in the freight corridors as well as the urban environment. The deterioration of congestion in the urban environment and the increase on freight movements on the highways have resulted in the increase of emissions. For this reason, new policies and regulations are put forth to address the environmental effects...
Show moreOver the last thirty years, intermodal freight transportation has been a constantly expanding sector. The vast increase of freight volumes contributes to the increase of various issues in the freight corridors as well as the urban environment. The deterioration of congestion in the urban environment and the increase on freight movements on the highways have resulted in the increase of emissions. For this reason, new policies and regulations are put forth to address the environmental effects of freight transportation. This study deals with the intermodal freight network design problem from the shipping company's perspective, aiming to simultaneously minimize emission levels and cost of freight transportation. We propose a mathematical model for optimizing the design of an intermodal freight network and the location of intermodal hubs between the origins and the destinations, under delivery time constraints. The goal is to identify the mode choice patterns considering transport cost and emissions, and the effects of new emission regulations on network costs. We consider a network with marine terminals as the origins, inland intermodal terminals as the hubs, and fulfillment centers as the destinations. Numerical experiments highlight that the proposed model can provide useful insights to the shipper.
