Optimization and scheduling for a large-scale urban transportation system involving human factors by Zhang, Yi

“…Therefore, this thesis focuses on solving the above issues by designing adaptive traffic signal controllers for both vehicles and pedestrians and developing optimal dispatching and operating strategies for public transport systems. The thesis includes three technical chapters: The first technical chapter develops a model to provide traffic light scheduling for pedestrian-vehicle mixed-flow networks, where a macroscopic pedestrian "hopping" model at an intersection is formulated, which is capable of reflecting the changing capacity during one time interval resulted from the crosswalk length and pedestrian relatively lower speed. …”
