2 Fare Planning for Public Transport Marika Neumann Abstract In this paper we investigate the fare planning model for public transport, which consists in designing a system of fares maximizing the revenue. We discuss a discrete choice model in which passengers choose between different travel alternatives to express the demand as a function of fares. Furthermore, we give a computational example for the city of Potsdam and discuss some theoretical aspects. 1 Introduction The design and the level of fares influence the passenger volume and consequently the revenue of a public transport system. Therefore, they are an important instrument to improve the profitability of the public transport system or to achieve other goals, e.g., to provide access to public transport for the general public. Some articles in the literature deal with different approaches to find optimal fares for public transport. Hamacher and Schöbel [6] develop a model for designing fares and zones maximizing the similarity to a given fare system, e.g., a distance dependent one. Kocur and Hendrickson [7] and De Borger, Mayeres, Proost, and Wouters [5] introduce models for maximizing the revenue and the social welfare, respectively, subject to several budget constraints. The majority of the literature on public transport fares, however, discusses only theoretical concepts, e.g. marginal cost pricing (Pedersen [8]) and price elasticities (Curtin [4]). In this article, we want to investigate a model to compute the fares that optimize the revenue for the public transport. This model is called the fare planning model. The main advantage of our approach is the inclusion of the public transport network. This allow us to distinguish different travel routes, e.g. between means of transportation like bus or subway, between slow and fast, short and long routes. Therefore it is possible to design complex and optimal fare systems.

3 This work is a summary of the master thesis Mathematische Preisplanung im ÖPNV, that I wrote at the Zuse Institute Berlin. The advisor was Prof. Dr. Grötschel. Some parts of the master thesis were published in the Operations Research Proceedings 2005 [3], another summary can be found in [2]. The theoretical results in Section 3.2 include some new aspects. 2 General Fare Planning Model We consider a traffic network whereas the nodes V represent the stations and D V V is a set of origin-destination pairs (OD-pairs or traffic relation). Furthermore, we are given a finite set C of travel choices. A travel choice can be a certain ticket type, e.g., single ticket or monthly ticket. Moreover, it can be a combination of a ticket type and a number of trips, which are performed within a certain time horizon, e.g., 40 trips with a monthly ticket in one month. Let p i st : Ê n Ê + be the price function for travel choice i C and OD-pair (s, t) D, i.e., it determines the price for the given travel choice and the given OD-pair. The price function depends on a fare vector x Ê n + of n Æ fare variables x 1,...,x n, which we call fares in the following. The demand functions d i st( x) measure the amount of passengers that travel from s to t with travel choice i, depending on the fare system x; they are assumed to be nonincreasing. We denote by d st ( x) the vector of all demand functions associated with OD-pair (s, t) and by d( x) = ( d st ( x)) the vector of all demand functions. Analogous notation is used for (p i st( x)). The revenue r( x) can then be expressed as r( x) := p( x) T d( x) = p i st( x) d i st( x). i C (s,t) D With this notation our general model for the fare planning problem is: (FPP) max p( x) T d( x) s.t. x P. (1) All restrictions on the fare variables are included in the set P Ê n. Here, one can also include social and political aspects like a minimum level of demand or a maximum level of fares. In the model (FPP) we assume constant costs and a constant level of service. In further investigations we included costs and maximized the profit, i.e., revenue minus costs. Other possible objectives were considered as well, e.g., maximization of the demand with respect to cost recovery. The goal is to make a first step with (FPP) towards a decision support tool for optimizing fare systems. We show the practicability of (FPP) on a prototype example in Section
4 3 Fare Planing with a Discrete Choice Model Our model expresses passenger behavior in response to fares by the demand function d i st. In this section, we use discrete choice models, especially the logit model, to obtain a realistic demand function. Therefore we assume that the passengers have full knowledge of the situation and act rationally with respect to the change of the fares. A thorough exposition of discrete choice analysis and logit models can be found in Ben-Akiva and Lerman [1]. In a discrete choice model for public transport, each passenger chooses among a finite set A of alternatives for the travel mode, e.g., single ticket, monthly ticket, bike, car travel, etc. We consider a time horizon T and assume that a passenger which travels from s to t performs a random number of trips X st + during T, i.e., X st is a discrete random variable. We assume that passengers do not mix alternatives, i.e., the same travel alternative is chosen for all trips. Furthermore, we assume an upper bound N on X st. The travel choices are then C = A {1,...,N}. Associated with each travel choice (a, k) C and each OD-pair (s, t) D is a utility U a,k st, which may depend on the passenger. Each utility is the sum of an observable part, the deterministic utility V a,k st, and a random utility, or disturbance term νst. a For (a, k) C we consider the utility U a,k st ( x) = V a,k st ( x) + νst a that depends on the fare system x. Assuming that each passenger chooses the alternative with the highest utility, the probability of choosing alternative a A in case of k trips is P a,k st ( x) := [ È V a,k st ( x) + νst a = max b,k (V b A st ( x) + ν b st) ]. (2) In case of the logit model, which introduces the Gumbel distribution for the disturbances ν a st, this probability can explicitly be computed by the formula P a,k st ( x) = eµv a,k st ( x) b A b,k µv e = 1 st ( x) 1 + e b A\{a} b,k µ(vst ( x) V a,k st ( x)). (3) Here µ > 0 is a scale parameter for the disturbances νst. a We write d a,k st ( x) for the amount of passengers choosing (a, k) C, i.e., traveling k times during T with alternative a from s to t and similarly p a,k st ( x) for the price of this travel. It follows that d a,k st ( x) = d st P a,k st ( x) È[X st = k] = d st e b A a,k µvst ( x) È[X b,k µv e st ( x) st = k], 3
5 where d st is the entry of the OD-matrix corresponding to (s, t) D. The revenue can then be written as: r( x) = a A N k=1 (s,t) D p a,k st ( x) da,k st ( x) = p( x)t d( x), where A is the set of public transport alternatives. This formula expresses the expected revenue over the probability spaces of X st and disturbances νst. a Note that r( x) is continuous and even differentiable if the deterministic utilities V a,k st ( x) (and the price functions p a,k st ( x)) have this property. 3.1 Example with three Alternatives In this section, we illustrate our discrete choice approach with a real world example for the city of Potsdam. We want to optimize the the current fare system including a single ticket (S) and a monthly ticket (M) for two different tariff-zones. The third travel alternative is the car (C), i.e., A = {M, S, C}. We consider a time horizon T of one month. The prices for public transport involve two fares for each tariff-zone; x s, the single ticket fare, and x m, the monthly ticket fare. We write x = (x s, x m ) and set the prices for alternatives single, monthly ticket, and car to p S,k st ( x) = x s k, p M,k st ( x) = x m, and p C,k st ( x) = Q + q l st k. For alternative car, the price is the sum of a fixed cost Q and distance dependent operating costs q. The parameter l st denotes the shortest distance between s and t in kilometers for a car. We set Q = 100eand q = 0.1e. We assume that the utilities are affine functions of prices and travel times t a st for traveling from s to t with alternative a. The utilities depend on the number of trips k. More precisely, we set: U M,k st (x M, x S ) = δ 1 x M δ 2 t M st k + ν M st monthly ticket U S,k st (x M, x S ) = δ 1 (x S k) δ 2 t S st k + νst S U C,k st (x M, x S ) = δ 1 (Q + q l st k) δ 2 t C st k y + νst C single ticket car. Here, δ 1 and δ 2 are weight parameters; we use δ 1 = 1 and δ 2 = 0.1, i.e., 10 minutes of travel time are worth 1e. In first computations we noticed that the behavior of the motorists could not be explained only with travel time and costs. Therefore we introduced an extra positive utility y for the car indicating the convenience of the car. We set y 93efor the first tariff-zone and y 73efor the second tariff-zone to match the current demand for the given prices in our model. The (discrete) probabilities for the number of trips are centered around 30 in an interval from 1 to N := 60 for all OD-pairs. 4

Altogether, the fare planning problem we want to consider has the form: max N k=1 (s,t) D s.t. x 0 d st xm e µv M,k st ( x) + x S k e b A S,k µvst ( x) b,k È[X st = k] e µvst ( x) We set µ = Note that the revenue function is differentiable. The revenue function is shown on the left of Figure 1. The optimal fares for the two tariff zones are x s = 1.57 (currently 1.45), x m = (32.50) for tariff-zone 1 and x s = 1.79 (2.20) and x m = (49.50) for tariff-zone 2. The revenue increased by about 3% up to e. 3.2 Some Theoretical Results In this section, we analyze the revenue function in case of a discrete choice demand function with a small random utility. The second part of equation (3) emphasizes the importance of the difference of the deterministic utilities which is weighted by the parameter µ. The higher µ, the more important is the difference of the deterministic utilities for the decision, i.e., the influence of the random utility decreases. The right of Figure 1 shows a demand function for different values of µ. The choice is getting deterministic if µ tends to infinity, i.e., P a,k st (x) = 1 if a is the alternative with the maximum deterministic utility and P a,k st (x) = 0 otherwise. In this case the demand function becomes a step function. For further analysis we omit the number of trips k and consider two travel alternatives with the following utility function Vi 1 (x) = x, V 2 i (x) = i for OD-pair i. The demand function for alternative 1 is d i (x) = d i e µ x e µ x + e µ i. 5
7 r(x) 100 r(x) x x Figure 2: Left: Revenue function for a discrete choice demand function for m = 7 OD-pairs without random utility. Right: Revenue function for the same example with small random utility (µ = 30). If we set the price functions of alternative 1 to p 1 i (x) = x, we obtain for the revenue function for alternative 1 r(x) = m e µ x d i e µ x x. + e µ i i=1 if x i For µ 0 otherwise. For x = i, i = {1,...,m} the revenue function r is not continuous and has m local maxima, see left of Figure 2. This means, that if the deterministic utility approximates the utility of the alternative quite well (the random utility is small), the revenue function has m local maxima, see right of Figure 2. It is likely to construct examples with upto m n local maxima in case of n fare variables. Therefore, the better the utilities are known, the closer the demand function is to reality. On the other hand, more local optima can appear and the problem may be hard to solve. References r(x) := lim r(x) = m d i µ i=1 [1] Moshe Ben-Akiva and Steven R.

Blackrock Caverns Entrance
December 7, 2010 by USA Post
Blackrock Caverns Entrance, Flight control license in Outland or Northrend, but the options are much better for the Alliance Stormwind and Orgrimmar for the Horde. Horde players want to talk to players and want to talk to Maztha Alliance Brall Cloudwing. Wowhead has excellent maps to find both.
What areas should I go first at Cataclysm? How do I get there?
You can either go to Hyjal or Vashj'ir. Whether you go purely personal preference. Stormwind and Orgrimmar quests for the bread crumbs. Either the quest will be available to you as soon as the connection with a pop-up search of style fast or you'll need to go to the Board of your city's hero / war chief of the Command Board.
Deciding to go to Hyjal you drive through the Reflecting-enter the area – do not worry, through Moonglade not take as long as you think. You will not need to hoof it the whole way.
Deciding to go to Vashj'ir send you the nearest port of your respective faction. In the case of Stormwind, you go to Stormwind Harbor. In the case of Orgrimmar, you will be sent to the new wharf in Durotar.
I would like to take archeology before leaving and level. Where can I do?
There are coaches all over the world archeology, but we will focus on Stormwind and Orgrimmar, because they are going to be your central hub in Cataclysm. Alliance players to head in the Stormwind keep talking to Harrison Jones. Horde players need to speak with nemesis Harrison Brightblade Belloc. If you have trouble finding them, the simplest trick is to ask a guard. They will put a handy little flag on your map.
I want to run the new dungeons, but I can not stand in line for anything. What is the problem?
As Cataclysm, it is necessary that we discover a dungeon in person before you can queue for them. Right at 80, your only real option is for example Blackrock Caverns, located in Blackrock Mountain. If you plan to run instances while level through Hyjal and Vashj'ir, you may want to suspend Blackrock Mountain before your departure.
WoW Insider's Account YouTube has some videos on how to find some dungeons Cataclysm. All these videos are linked below. Note that in the videos where the guide is a ghost, it is not necessary that you be dead to find out the proceedings. Cemeteries are just landmarks practice … and let's be honest; you will die in these dungeons. Learn how to get them to the cemetery is a good thing.

pipo is a quick tool to scan and parse directories recursively and find images based on user-specified criteria, such as independent resolution on both image axis or dominant color searches, and supporting a large number of graphical formats. Similar to a find utility, pipo should prove helpful to image triage or fast searches based on user input graphic conditions which would otherwise be undetectable unless each file was reviewed individually.
|Desktop Environment tools multimedia Graphics Utilities
|Operating Systems
|POSIX Linux Unix
Release Notes: This release adds duplicate image searching based on image content. The file scanning routing has been rewritten, and the source has been cleaned. The man page has been updated accordingly.
Release Notes: The program can now search the dominant color in an image based on the RGB value. A filter was added so that pure colors as well as user inserted values can be searched recursively on each image. The man page was updated and a few stability issues were fixed within the code.
Release Notes: The source has been tested and released, including recursive resolution-based searches.

On today's Football Weekly Extra, AC Jimbo is joined by Barry Glendenning, James Horncastle and Rafa Honigstein to give their assessment of the business done in the Premier League and beyond now that the transfer window has SLAMMED shut. Jack Wilshere to Bournemouth? David Luiz back at Chelsea? Saido Berahino still at West Brom? Yup. Oh, it is seems that the combination of Sunderland and David Moyes still doesn't set players' pulses racing.
Next, we take a deep dive into the Bundesliga, hear from our friend Sasha Goryunov about the remarkable story of Rostov (and plenty of other Russia footballing things too), and catch up with the triumphant first round of the Checkatrade Trophy.
Finally, we gear up for international week by waving goodbye to Robbie Keane and bidding auf wiedersehen to Bastian Schweinsteiger, before bigging up Big Sam and his bold selection of 20 of the same 23 players that performed so admirably at Euro 2016 - and bringing banter's Paddy McGuinness and Bradley Walsh to his backroom staff. Admit it, you're excited too.
If you're coming to see us in Manchester tomorrow night, get your questions in using the hashtag #guardianlive. And if you haven't booked a ticket to see Producer Ben do his thing at the London Podcast Festival, you're probably not the only one.

BALTIMORE (AP) Ravens cornerback Chris McAlister was inactive Sunday against the Oakland Raiders, who were without running back Darren McFadden.
McAlister sat out with a knee injury and was replaced in Baltimore's starting lineup by Frank Walker. McAlister did not start in last week's victory at Miami and played sparingly.
McFadden was sidelined with a toe injury and was joined on Oakland's inactive list by wide receiver Todd Watkins, safety Rashad Baker, linebacker Jon Alston, defensive end Derrick Burgess, offensive tackle James Marten and center John Wade. Marques Tuiasosopo was designated the third quarterback.
The Ravens' other inactives were return specialist Yamon Figurs, cornerback Samari Rolle, safety Dawan Landry, offensive tackle Adam Terry, wide receiver Marcus Smith and defensive tackle Lamar Divens. Todd Bouman was the third quarterback.

Today, I was at dance rehearsal. As a male dancer I like to keep the fact that I dance a secret because of the stupid stereotypes male dancers have. This plan was quickly shot down when I discovered I was performing at my school. FML
Today, I was walking to my dorm room while it was snowing heavily. I saw a girl in a wheelchair trying to get up a slippery incline. Being a good person, I asked to help. I'm a pretty weak guy, and I couldn't push her up. She wheeled away crying because she thought she was fat. FML
Today, the guy that I've liked for a while but never had the courage to talk to was wearing a TARDIS shirt. I jokingly asked, "Are you the Doctor?" His response was for me to "Go away, f***ing nerd." FML
Today, it's been two months since I got a kitten. He loves to hide, and then surprise me by jumping out of his hiding place. It was quite a surprise when he launched himself out of my bag during class. FML

While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Oldsmobile vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to fix your automobile. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs these days. You purchased your Silhouette because its reliability and long-lasting quality appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to great quality auto parts? Your Oldsmobile dealership isn't the only place to buy the highest quality repair parts to fix your Silhouette.
Your car or truck has a water-cooled motor, and its thermostat keeps the coolant flowing in the right direction so that your engine can maintain a constant and ideal operating temperature. On start-up, the thermostat remains closed; shutting off access to the radiator. This gets the coolant hot so that the engine warms up. Once it reaches the right temperature, your Oldsmobile Silhouette thermostat responds by directing coolant to the radiator. Now your coolant is part of a constant cycle in your Oldsmobile Silhouette engine that keeps it within a specific range of temperatures that are determined for the engine to achieve the best balance between power, fuel efficiency, and emissions... all thanks to the thermostat.
Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Oldsmobile Silhouette part for your project or repair. Bring your Silhouette back to life with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. All the Oldsmobile Silhouette Thermostats parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990.

The Governor proposed a budget with a slew of new taxes, including new taxes on drivers, on smokers, as well as those who are trying to quit smoking, and on our state's employers, who already face among the highest taxes in the nation!
All of those taxes were needed to pay for Governor Hassan's plan to grow big government in New Hampshire.
She also used her budget to make ObamaCare Medicaid expansion permanent. There is no end to the level of spending that she'll support!
Thankfully, the New Hampshire House pulled all of Hassan's tax hikes out of the budget. They also called for ending ObamaCare Medicaid expansion according to state law.
While they flirted with a gas and diesel tax hike, they ultimately chose to use fund set aside for more green energy pork projects to pay for the roads instead.
Now, the House is moving forward with a fiscally responsible budget that protects taxpayers.
Go here to tell your House members to pass this responsible state budget and to give the Governor's tax hikes the boot!
Tell your representatives that New Hampshire taxpayers need a frugal government, not a greater hit in the wallet!
Please take a moment to tell your legislators to pass this House budget, and send a clear message that big government does not work in New Hampshire.
Live Free or Die,
Greg Moore

This is the liquid fuel fireplace that rests on any stable surface and provides the color, charm, and comfort of a wood-burning fire without smoke, smells, or sparks. Using recycled liquid ethanol fuel that gives off only water vapor and carbon dioxide, the clean-burning, portable fireplace yields a bright yellow, orange, and red 7"-high flame that flickers without fumes, making it suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Generating up to 8,500 BTUs per hour (depending upon damper setting), it heats a 325' sq. area, making it ideal for intimate gatherings around an empty fireplace, coffee table, or stand. The fireplace's stainless steel burner unit sits between two panes of tempered glass and is raised off a surface by 2" while its heat is generated upwards and laterally without marring fine wood finishes. One liter of liquid ethanol fuel (not included) provides up to 2 1/2 hours of cozy reposing. 11" H x 14" W x 5 1/2" D. (8 1/2 lbs.)
"Very nice added ambiance to an outdoor space. Adds both color and warmth. A nice addition to our evenings on the deck."- L, Iowa

Lives up to its billing
By Anne & Will
from Falls Church, VA
Very pleasant as an occasional substitute for a wood or gas fire. Good looking and well built. Comes almost completely assembled. Heavy enough to be a bit difficult to move. It's important to use only ethanol fuel. It might seem as if it could burn lamp oil or kerosene but to do so could be quite hazardous. Burn time on ethanol is less than two hours, although this can be extended by using the dampers to reduce the flame. It cannot be refilled until thoroughly cool.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Too Cool!!!!!
By Beach Girl
from Perdido Key, Fl
The only downside we have seen is that the fuel only lasts about an hour- the cost is about $5/hour.We live in a condo on the gulf so a real fireplace isn't necessary, but this adds to the ambience and takes the chill off the room on a cool day. We love it!
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: The fuel can last for up to 2.5 hours in this item, but may last for less time if the fireplace's metal pieces are spread wider. The larger opening creates a larger flame, which burns fuel less efficiently.

Love it. Friends are jealous.
By patio
from Buffalo, NY
The perfect size for my coffee table. Was actually a bit bigger than I thought it would be so that worked out well. Set up is a breeze…it comes assembled! Be sure to note that it does NOT come with fuel. You have to order that separately.

Great ambiance
By Dave
from Huntingdon Valley PA
Goes for about 90 minutes on a fill, and it looks like you can get 3 uses out of a quart of fuel, so it's not cheap to operate, but looks great.
Love it!!!!
By ValerieT8R
from Fallbrook, CA
Such a great idea. You can put it in a fireplace instead of using gas or logs. It is burns very clean and the fuel is odorless. Gives such a lovely glow and ambiance to the room. Put it in a bathroom, get in the bathtub, and enjoy just soaking with a very beautiful glow in the room...a easy alternative to candles!!!! We will be taking it with us when we go camping in our trailer...our own personal fireplace!!!

Half of US states consider right-to-die legislation
More than a dozen states, plus the District of Columbia, are considering controversial medically assisted death legislation this year.
The laws would allow mentally fit, terminally ill patients age 18 and older whose doctors say they have six months or less to live to request lethal drugs.
Oregon was the first state to implement its Death with Dignity Act in 1997 after voters approved the law in 1994, and four other states -- Montana, New Mexico, Vermont and Washington -- now allow for medically assisted death.

Jennifer Lopez wasn't the only one trying to quietly dispose of news at close of business this Friday evening.
TNT announced they've canceled Men of a Certain Age, its Peabody Award-winning dramedy starring Ray Romano, Scott Bakula and Andre Braugher, who just earned a second Emmy nomination for his supporting role.
"While the show has featured great storytelling and impeccable performances," noted a network publicist, "the audience simply hasn't built to the point where we can continue the series." (Its recently concluded second season was averaging fewer than 2 million, about half what TNT's more popular original series bring in.)

The knowledgeable owner of this customized Viking Convertible just spent over $325 000 doing a complete tear down and rebuild of the MTU 12v2000's with all upgraded engine components as well as painting the hull and upgrading the electronics. The boat is constantly being updated and improved by the owner and captain. If you're in the market for a 61' Viking you need to look at the Scatterbrain and you'll look no further.
