Transit assignment and applications

Transit assignment is the process of assigning passengers traveling between various geographical locations to hyperpaths (collection of paths) in a transit network. It helps assess the impact of policies (e.g., raising fares or altering the frequency of a route) on passenger behavior. The current work on transit assignment focuses on building efficient algorithms for capacitated frequency-based and schedule-based transit assignment. Moreover, I'm also working on applications of transit assignment in designing online bus arrival and crowding information, designing network, fare pricing, and scheduling.
