TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2112 explores the pedestrian intersection safety index applied in planning access to new rail stations; a cluster-based hierarchical model for urban transit hub location planning; network analysis of world subway systems; benefits of advanced integrated rail service in a developing city; Metrorail recent ridership growth; a transit origin-destination table using the uncertainty maximization concept; and estimating linked transit trips in New York City using entry-only automatic fare collection data. This issue of the TRR also examines a public education campaign to improve driver compliance with streetcar transit lanes; control of public transportation operations to improve reliability; scheduling regional rail; business model for commingled operations of freight and passenger rail services; passenger environment survey; line length versus operational reliability—network design dilemma; transfer scheduling and control to reduce passenger waiting time; passenger choice models for impact analysis of real-time bus information on crowdedness; service-level classification of platforms in urban rail transit; and quantifying the impacts of transit reliability on user costs.
