Notă biografică

Avishai (Avi) Ceder received his PhD in 1975 at the University of California at Berkeley, and he is professor and chair of transportation at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, and at the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology. He frequently delivers courses on public-transit operations planning in Asia, Europe, Australasia, and the United States. His research and implementation interests in the subject stem from being a bus driver for four years for a large bus company.

Recenzii

"The book is aimed squarely at transit researchers and practitioners. It fills an important void in the literature, as most existing material is exclusively quantitative or qualitative. This book bridges both, and leaves the reader with a sense of satisfaction and a desire to learn more about the topics at hand. The spirit of the first edition remains alive, with applied operations research as the vehicle through which most discussions are presented."
Professor Daniel A. Rodriguez, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA

"... a single text that covers the full set of issues in transit operations and planning includes concepts from theory and methodologies from practice... not only for students of transportation engineering and city planning at universities and in professional courses, as well as for transit agency managers and consultants, but also for PhD students and researchers."
Professor Agostino Nuzzolo, Tor Vergata University of Rome

Descriere

This book examines the main components affecting the viability of a public-transport service from both the passenger and agency perspectives, and offers solutions to well-known problems in the field. This second edition establishes a bridge between the world of practitioners and the world of research and academia. It presents new material on the design of network of routes, reliability and scheduling, coordination and connectivity, operational strategies and tactics, and new topics such as passenger behavior, multi-vehicle operations, multi-agent transit systems, and transit automation.
