The Inverse-Square Rule: Smarter Algorithms, Better Buses
Introducing the Inverse-Square Rule: a mathematical breakthrough that transforms bus timetable optimization, achieving 36-45% cost reductions where traditional solvers fail.
Passengers Matter: Why Transit Assignment is the Key to TfL’s Route Changes
TfL's proposed cuts to routes 19, 38, 259, and 349 reveal a critical gap between operational efficiency and network science. This is not just budgeting—it's a bi-level optimization challenge that demands rigorous mathematical modeling.
