With the growing heterogeneity of public transport systems, accurate representation of passenger service processes at bus stops shared by multiple operators has become increasingly important. This study develops and validates a microscopic model of p...
Most truck stops in rural areas are located along high-demand highway corridors, consistent with current methods based on capacity and demand models. However, these models underestimate the safety aspect, failing to detect highway corridors with low...
The application of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) technology has changed the operation characteristics of vehicles. Investigating the traffic capacity of bus stops under a CAVs environment can allocate traffic flow more reasonably, which is...
To unravel the general relationship between bus travel and land use around bus stops and along bus routes and to promote their coordinated development, this paper explores a method to estimate passenger flow volumes from and to bus stops based on lan...

The work and life routine of long-haul truck drivers (LHTDs) involve the use of truck stops and rest areas to meet their basic human needs. These extensions of their workspaces on the road do not always offer adequate physical structures and services...
Previous research shows that L2 learning can cause non-nativeness in the L1 of adult learners. These effects vary across segments, even across members of the same natural class (e.g., voiceless or voiced stops) differing in the presence or absence of...
Interest in improving roadside services for long-haul truckers’ health, safety, and well-being has led to an effort to describe the services offered at truck stop/rest areas. This study aimed to describe services offered in truck stop and rest...
Existing offset optimization methods for signalized intersections are mainly focused on regular traffic flow, which cannot accommodate cars and public transit (e.g., Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)) simultaneously. This study proposes a delay prediction mode...
The urban public transport network is closely related to urban construction and is susceptible to external influences, especially the bus network (BN). The measurement of the changes in the performance of BN under disruptions plays an important role...
