The methods used are based on graph-theoretic approaches and integer programming. The specific topics are all motivated by real-world examples which occurred in practical projects. An appendix summarizes some of the basics of optimization needed to interpret the material in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn detail, the topics the book covers in its three parts are as follows: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1. \u003cem\u003eStop location.\u003c\/em\u003e Does it make sense to open new stations along existing bus or railway lines? If yes, in which locations? The problem is modeled as a continuous covering problem. To solve it the author develops a finite dominating set and shows that efficient methods are possible if the special structure of the covering matrix is used.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2. \u003cem\u003eDelay management.\u003c\/em\u003e Should a train wait for delayed feeder trains or should it depart in time? The author builds up two different integer programming models and a model based on project planning methods. Properties and solution methods are developed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3. \u003cem\u003eTariff planning.\u003c\/em\u003e Part 3 deals with the design of zone tariff systems, in which the fare is determined by the number of zones used by the passengers. The author presents a model for this problem and approaches based on clustering theory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAudience\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for operations research graduate students and researchers interested in a practical introduction to integer programming and algorithms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45274156695703,"sku":"9780387328966","price":9548.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780387328966.webp?v=1769279057","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/optimization-in-public-transportation-stop-location-delay-management-and-tariff-zone-design-in-a-public-transportation-network-9780387328966","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
