Abstract
Recently, beside the traditional frequency-based approach in dynamic modelling of transit networks, a new approach, called schedule-based, has been developed. This approach refers to services in terms of runs, using the arrival/departure times at stops of each vehicle, and allows us to take into account the time evolution of both supply and demand, as well as to obtain the load of each vehicle at each stop. This modelling approach requires a more precise specification of user behaviour mechanism and a specific treatment for origin/destination matrices, supply models, path choice and assignment models. In this paper the state-of-the-art of each of these points, with a classification of existing models and the future perspectives of the research in this field, is provided.
