Robust Capacity Expansion of Transit Networks and Estimating OD Pair Demand

METRANS SeminarPresentation by Fernando Ordonez, Assistant Professor in the Industrial and
Systems Engineering Department, USC Viterbi School of EngineeringTopic: Robust Capacity Expansion of Transit Networks and Estimating OD Pair
DemandIn this talk we introduce a methodology to decide capacity expansions for a transit network that finds a robust solution with respect to the uncertainty in demands and travel times. We show that solving for this robust solution is a computationally tractable problem under assumptions that are reasonable for a transportation system. Our computational experiments show that the robust solution can be preferable in practice. We finish the presentation reviewing the data input for the robust model, which has lead to a new research project on estimating confidence
intervals on OD-pair demand.
