Transit assignment

Transit assignment models are mathematical tools that predict how passengers behave and travel in a transit network, given some assumptions and inputs.

Transit assignment models aim to answer questions such as:

• How do transit passengers choose their routes in a complex network of lines and services?

• How can we estimate the distribution of passenger flows and the performance of transit systems?

In the following sections, we’ll present the TransitGraph, the graph structure used for a transit network, and the hyperpath routing for transit assignment.
