Bus bunching along a corridor served by two lines (2016)
Journal Article
Schmöcker, J.-D., Sun, W., Fonzone, A., & Liu, R. (2016). Bus bunching along a corridor served by two lines. Transportation research. Part B, Methodological, 93(Part A), 300-317. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trb.2016.07.005

Headway fluctuations and “bus bunching” are well known phenomena on many bus routes where an initial delay to one service can disturb the whole schedule due to resulting differences in dwell times of subsequent buses at stops. This paper deals with t... Read More about Bus bunching along a corridor served by two lines.

A mixed logit model for predicting exit choice during building evacuations (2016)
Journal Article

Knowledge on human behaviour in emergency is crucial to increase the safety of buildings and transportation systems. Decision making during evacuations implies different choices, of which one of the most important concerns the escape route. The choic...

Decision principles for routing strategies: games against nature and demons. (2015)
Journal Article
Schmoecker, J.-D., & Fonzone, A. (2015). Decision principles for routing strategies: games against nature and demons. Asian transport studies, 3(4), 362-377. https://doi.org/10.11175/eastsats.3.362

In this paper we firstly review general decision principles under uncertainty and apply them to route choice decisions. Risk-averse behaviour leads to the description of route choice a game. The difference between games against demons and nature are... Read More about Decision principles for routing strategies: games against nature and demons..

A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fonzone, A., Schmöcker, J.-D., & Liu, R. (2015, August). A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns. Presented at 21st International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory, Kobe, Japan

If bus service departure times are not completely unknown to the passengers, non-uniform passenger arrival patterns can be expected. We propose that passengers decide their arrival time at stops based on a continuous logit model that considers the ri...
