The schedule-based modelling of transportation systems: Recent developments

Abstract

This paper summarizes the state-of-the-art and presents some recent developments in the schedule-based modelling approach for the simulation of transportation systems. The overview of the evolution of the literature in this field is presented by authors considering first, theoretical issues and then algorithms, software and applications. Greatest attention is given to public transport modelling, even through schedule-based models for other transportation systems, such as freight, are also investigated.
