Urban rapid transit network capacity expansion

The rapid transit network design problem consists on the location of the train alignments and stations in an urban traffic context. The location problem incorporates the demand decisions about the mode and route that they choose to realize the urban trips. The capacity expansion incorporates to the location problem some relevant criteria about the cost of the investment and the future utilization of the infrastructure. Some basic methodology to be used in this context is considered.
