Jan-Dirk Schmöcker is an Associate Professor within the School of Global Engineering and the Department of Urban Management at Kyoto University. He studied at Technical University Berlin, Newcastle University and Imperial College London from where he obtained his PhD. His main research topic is modelling of passenger behaviour in networks including aspects such as fare structures, crowding, bunching and real-time information. Jan-Dirk’s current research interests further look at long-term demand adaptation to transport infrastructure investments, technological advances and trends such as "shared mobility".

Smart card data can help transport operators to understand the behavioral characteristics of the users. However, when bus operators adopt flat fare systems, users only touch-in or touch-out so that information such as origin and destination of tra...

This paper first compares the advantages of schedule-based versus frequencybased transit assignment tools. Through a literature review it is explained in which cases practitioners should use a schedule-based method and in which cases it is suffici...

The reliability of road networks depends directly on their vulnerability to disruptive incidents, ranging in severity from minor disruptions to terrorist attacks. This paper presents a game theoretic approach to the analysis of road network vulner...

As the problem of full transit vehicles is encountered daily by passengers in most of the big cities, previous research evaluated the consequence of overcrowding in terms of on-board crowding and passengers not being able to board with full vehicl...

On 17 February 2003, London introduced a pioneering congestion-charging scheme. The impact on traffic was sudden and dramatic. For example, car movements within the congestion-charging zone (21 km2) were reduced by about 30%. However, the impact o...

This study was conducted to identify the strategies used by operators to provide a high level of service. The research distinguishes between punctuality and regularity of service and proposes that metro passengers primarily value regularity. The f...

This paper describes a capacity constrained frequency- or headway-based transit assignment model which, by relaxing the assumption of flow conservation, can consider within-day dynamics. The probability of failing to board a service due to insuffi...

This paper proposes the use of absorbing Markov chains to solve the capacity constrained transit network loading problem taking common lines into account. The approach handles congested transit networks, where some passengers will not be able to b...

The transport demand in most major cities around the world can only be met with a high-quality public transport system. The requirements on bus, rail, underground and tram systems are manifold with reliability and efficiency as the key factors. Th...
