Wilson (civil and environmental engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Nuzzolo (civil Engineering, "Tor Vergata" University of Rome, Italy) present selected papers from the May 2002 First Workshop on Schedule Based Approaches in Dynamic Transit Modeling, held in Ischia. The focus of these papers is on laying a foundation for developing more sophisticated models which will be required to obtain the level of accuracy desired in forecasting the performance of public transport systems in the future. Grouped in sections on general aspects and applications to ITS, papers examine topics such as schedule-based dynamic assignment models for public transport networks, and simulation-based evaluation of advanced public transportation systems.

Schedule-Based Dynamic Transit Modeling: Theory and Applications outlines the new schedule-based dynamic approach to mass transit modeling. In the last ten years the schedule-based dynamic approach has been developed and applied especially for operational planning. It allows time evolution of on-board loads and travel times for each run of each line to be obtained, and uses behavioral hypotheses strictly related to transit systems and user characteristics. It allows us to open new frontiers in transit modelling to support network design, timetable setting, investigation of congestion effects, as well as the assessment of new technologies introduction, such as information to users (ITS technologies). The contributors and editors of the book are leading researchers in the field of transportation, and in this volume they build a solid foundation for developing still more sophisticated models. These future models of mass transit systems will continue to add higher levels of accuracy and sensitivity desired in forecasting the performance of public transport systems.
