Summary
Optimisation of transit priority in a transportation network. This project is aimed at developing an optimised approach to combine various types of public transport priority in an urban network which can be used by transport planners to increase the efficiency of traffic movements and reduce traffic congestion. The case study is the network of Brisbane including all arterial and local roads.
Integrating network modelling with observed choice data for multi-criteria optimisation of complex car share systems: cost, mobility and transit usage. This project will develop methods to determine an efficient car share system, which includes optimal location, one-way car sharing, and how carshare influences the broader transport system. By adopting such new comprehensive methods, the overall transport system will benefit through potential improvements in public transit usage.
