A New Big Data Approach to Understanding General Traffic Impacts on Bus Passenger Delays
Montero-Lamas, Yaiza; Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso; Currie, Graham (Hindawi, 2023)[Abstract:] This paper presents a new method to quantify the potential user time savings if the urban bus is given preferential treatment, changing from mixed traffic to an exclusive bus lane, using a big data approach. ... -
Analysis of the Relationship between the Characteristics of the Areas of Influence of Bus Stops and the Decrease in Ridership during COVID-19 Lockdowns
Montero-Lamas, Yaiza; Orro, Alfonso; Novales, Margarita; Varela-García, Francisco-Alberto (MDPI, 2022)[Abstract] This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of the areas of influence of bus stops and the decrease in ridership during COVID-19 lockdowns and subsequent initial reopening ... -
Bus with high level of service in Nantes, France: Characteristics and results of the bus way in relation to light-rail transit
Conles Barrera, Emilio José; Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso; Anta, Javier (Sage, 2014)[Abstract:] This paper is intended to identify and analyze the reasons that have led the BusWay of Nantes (France) to be one of the most – if not the most – outstanding and successful cases of setting up of a BHLS system ... -
Environmental Impact of Mobility in Higher-Education Institutions: The Case of the Ecological Footprint at the University of A Coruña (Spain)
Pérez-López, José-Benito; Orro, Alfonso; Novales, Margarita (MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] Ecological footprint (EF) determines the area of ecologically productive territory necessary to produce the resources utilised and to assimilate the waste produced by a given population over a year. Knowing your ... -
Evolución de los sistemas tranviarios
Bugarín, M. R.; Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso (Universidade da Coruña, Grupo de Ferrocarriles y Transportes, 2003)[Resumen:] La revolución que ha supuesto el metro ligero en muchas ciudades europeas y americanas ha vuelto a hacer de los sistemas ferroviarios ligeros un modo de transporte atractivo para los desplazamientos urbanos. ... -
Experimental verification of the methodology to estimate transit dwell time from the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual
Montero-Lamas, Yaiza; Orro, Alfonso; Novales, Margarita; Currie, Graham; Reynolds, James (Elsevier, 2023)[Abstract:] This study compares the theoretical and actual dwell times of urban buses in A Coruña, Spain, and trams in Melbourne, Australia, to evaluate the accuracy of the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual's ... -
High speed turnouts’ geometry
Bugarín, M. R.; Orro, Alfonso; Novales, Margarita (Sage, 2011)[Abstract:] Turnouts are singular points of the railway track. A series of advances have been added to their design in the last 20 years, in the same way as the other elements that constitute the track structure. These ... -
Impact on City Bus Transit Services of the COVID–19 Lockdown and Return to the New Normal: the Case of A Coruña (Spain)
Orro, Alfonso; Novales, Margarita; Monteagudo, Ángel; Pérez-López, José-Benito; Bugarín, M. R. (MDPI, 2020)[Abstract] The COVID–19 pandemic led to restrictions on activities and mobility in many parts of the world. After the main peak of the crisis, restrictions were gradually removed, returning to a new normal situation. This ... -
Increasing Boarding Lost Time at Regular Bus Stops during Rainy Conditions: A Case Study
Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso; Pérez-López, José-Benito; Feal García, Jorge; Bugarín, M. R. (University of South Florida, 2021)[Abstract] Inclement weather conditions affect the behavior of travelers and transportation system operations. Understanding this influence can help improve operational planning schemes for any mode of transport, especially ... -
Modelos avanzados de elección de localización residencial

Residential Location Econometric Choice Modeling With Irregular Zoning: Common Border Spatial Correlation Metric
Pérez-López, José-Benito; Novales, Margarita; Varela-García, Francisco-Alberto; Orro, Alfonso (Springer Nature, 2020)[Abstract] Residential location choice (RLC) predicts where and how people choose their residential location in the framework of land use–transport interaction models (LUTI). This paper seeks an efficient RLC model in the ... -
Spatially Correlated Nested Logit Model for Spatial Location Choice
Pérez-López, José-Benito; Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso (Elsevier, 2022)[Abstract] Residential location choice is a key component of the models for predicting land-use and transport demand in urban planning. In general, it requires to consider correlation between spatial alternatives. The ... -
The tram-train: a new public transport system
Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso; Bugarín, M. R. (Sage, 2002)[Abstract:] In response to the demand for improved mobility in metropolitan areas, the 1990s saw the development in Europe of a new transport system known as the tram-train. This system is based on the use of conventional ... -
Track geometry for light rail systems
Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso; Bugarín, M. R. (Sage, 2010)[Abstract:] As it is known, light rail systems are characterized by their running over the streets, with semi-exclusive (or “reserved”) right of way. This fact leads to the necessity of adapting the track geometry to the ... -
Transporte por cable
Orro, Alfonso; Novales, Margarita; Bugarín, M. R. (Universidade da Coruña, Grupo de Ferrocarriles y Transportes, 2003)[Resumen:] El transporte por cable es un instrumento adecuado, en ocasiones el único, para resolver determinadas necesidades de transporte. Se emplea principalmente para transportes en pequeñas distancias con desniveles ... -
Use of a Genetic Algorithm to Optimize Wheel Profile Geometry
Novales, Margarita; Orro, Alfonso; Bugarín, M. R. (Institution of Mechanical Engineers ; SAGE, 2007-07-01)[Abstract] Wear is a very important subject for Railway Administrations because it entails very important costs. So, it seems to be logical to develop a new methodology for designing wheel profiles in order to improve its ...
