Conclusion:
This tool can do interesting things
Dramatic improvement in mass transit performance possible by:
- Using demand-responsive routing optimization
- Constructing transfer stations off-line
We can make mass transit perform as well as personally-owned vehicles
- But this comes at a cost
- Design transit-oriented development to keep network utilization at sustainable levels
Analysts might use this tool to generate interesting data for trade studies
Notes:
(for some definition of the word “interesting”)
good thing we're not testing a null hypothesis
From personal experience, public transit takes roughly twice as long as a rush hour drive. A 2x improvement will easily achieve parity
At this point, Continuous time gets aliased to the discrete time steps
