Personal Rapid Transit Networks and Demands

Training and evaluation networks and demands used in: [1] John D. Lees-Miller. "Empty Vehicle Redistribution for Personal Rapid<br>Transit." Ph.D. thesis, University of Bristol, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.649440 Each folder contains a test network and one or more demand matrices. The naming convention for folders is<br>__<br>for synthentic systems (e.g. grid) and<br>_<br>for case study systems (e.g. corby_cm). The delay is added to the basic shortest<br>path trip times to ensure that the strict triangle inequality holds. Each system has: trip_times_annotated.txt: station-to-station trip times in seconds; each origin is a row, and each column is a destination demand_matrix_annotated_name.txt: station-to-station demand in passenger trips<br>per hour (unless otherwise noted; some case studies have been scaled to reflect<br>average occupancy estimates and/or mode perceived capacity limitations); each origin is a row, and each column is a destination name.graphml: the network; nodes with labels are stations; locations are in<br>meters (because the earth is approximately flat); speeds are in meters per<br>second (usually assumed to be 10m/s, because detailed speed profiles were not<br>usually available) The files in emat20005 are in the format for the "ATS/CityMobil Simulator", a<br>proprietary simulator available from ULTra Global PRT (www.ultraglobalprt.com).<br>They are zip files that contain an XML file with the network and demand data.<br>These data were extracted to produce the test* systems. These networks were<br>generated as part of a student project, as described in [1].
