Multimodal Transportation Networks: Object Modelling and the K-Multimodal Shortest Path

摘要

The objective of this paper is to develop, implement and test a solution to the problem of long-run planning of transit on multimodal network. It presents the general results found, and algorithm used along this work. The aim is to provide a tool to detect facilities of using different modes of transport through multimodal network. Routings may include distinct combination of rail, and route. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) was invaluable in the cost-effective construction and maintenance of this work and subsequent validation of mode sequences and paths selections. Attention is paid to multimodal path operator as well as to the use of GIS-transit planning.
