Operation & Management of Urban Underground Transit Systems
This graduate student–led Activity Group examines how the operations of urban underground transit systems are planned and managed in major global cities, such as New York, London, Singapore, and Tokyo. Our focus is on operational planning frameworks, service scheduling, and reliability strategies that drive efficient, resilient system performance. We also explore emerging horizons in the field, including the strategic implementation of AI to optimize these traditional practices.
Through webinars and lightning sessions, participants engage in structured discussions and comparative analyses, drawing insights from both academic research and industry practice. Designed for students, by students, this group provides an open platform for dialogue, critical thinking, and professional development. While tailored for early-career researchers, we maintain an open-door policy for faculty members and undergraduate students. Join us in strengthening the understanding of underground transit operations and contributing to the future of urban mobility.
