• Linear isochrone transit map concept

    Basic temporal information can overlaid visually on a transit map and there are ways this can be done that might be useful. Here, I describe the idea, enumerate some of its possible variations and give some basic examples that should illustrate its potential value. Factors such as ease of use and accessibility are of primary…

  • Noise as an underrated transit experience variable

    Intuitively I’ve always felt like noise level is an underrated factor in the experience of a rider of a transit service, and upon looking into it further, there’s empirical support for this as well. Here, I give a brief and incomplete summary of the literature and give some recommendations. The basic structure of my claims…

Given the general trend of rich, high-return information on the internet going by the wayside, the continued existence of the UrbanToronto forum is a minor miracle. That said, so much transit discussion being crammed in…

  • Notes from Schedule-Based Dynamic Modeling (WIP)

    I have been reading Schedule-Based Dynamic Modeling: Theory and Applications edited by Nigel H.M Wilson and Agostino Nuzzolo. I will be collecting my notes here. It’s composed of papers that seem to be atomic to some extent and thus the notes will be out of order. 1 – The Schedule-Based Approach in dynamic transit modelling:…

  • Notes from In Silico Drug Discovery and Design (WIP)

    I am reading sporadically through In Silico Drug Discovery and Design: Theory, Methods, Challenges and Applications edited by Claudio N. Cavasotto, PhD. I will be sharing my notes and some thoughts and ideas as they come up, which will emerge out of order (temporally) as I am looking out for some things specifically. Everything here…
