Implementation of Gravity Model to Estimation of Transportation Market Shares
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2010, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
The theoretical consideration presented in the paper is inspired by market gravity models, as an interesting attitude towards operations research on a market. The transportation market issues are emphasized. The mathematical model of relations, taking place between transportation companies and their customers on the market, which is applied in the course of the research is based on continuous functions characteristics. This attitude enables the use of the field theory notions. The resultant vector-type utility function facilitates obtaining of competitive advantage areas for all transportation companies located on the considered transportation market.

On Some Corrugation Related Dynamical Problems of Wheel/Rail Interaction
We simulate the motion of a corrugated disk over a corrugated track under unilateral elastic contact forces. In particular, the trajectory of the geometrical contact point and the magnitude of normal forces are studied....
Modelling the public transport capacity constraints’ impact on passenger path choices in transit assignment models
The objective of this paper is to discuss the replication of passenger congestion (overcrowding) effects on output path choices in public transport assignment models. Based on a comprehensive literature review, the impac...
