Calibrating a transit assignment model using smart card data in a large-scale multi-modal transit network
This paper describes a practical automated procedure to calibrate and validate a transit assignment model. An optimization method based on particle...

Spatial Aggregation Issues in Traffic Assignment Models
Most transport models rely on a discrete description of space, and are, therefore, subject to spatial aggregation bias. Spatial aggregation induces...
-
Consideration of different travel strategies and choice set sizes in transit path choice modelling
Path choice modelling is typically conducted by considering a subset of paths, not the universal set of all feasible paths as this is computationally...
