FROBSS (Fixed Route Bus Simulation System) simulation model is used to evaluate the performance of the routes. Five routes have been selected from the network of the General Company for Passenger Transport (GCPT) in Baghdad. Field data regarding these routes have been collected through field survey during March, April, and May of 2001, by using special field data sheets. These data have been input...Show More
With the expansion of urban area, urban bus transit plays an increasing important role in urban transportation. Nowadays, factors for bus route network planning become increasingly complicated with the construction of rail transit in metropolises of China. The object of this research is to optimize bus network in Wuhan using a GIS-based framework to alleviate or solve the problems exposed from cur...Show More
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of some selected public transport bus routes in Baghdad City. Some operation policies will then be considered to improve the operational characteristics of these routes. FROBSS (Fixed Route Bus Simulation System) simulation model is used to evaluate the performance of the routes. Five routes have been selected from the network of the ...Show More
In order to improve the operating speed of bus, the forecast system for passengers up and down buses (FS-PUDB) could be adopted to inform the bus drivers whether any passenger would get on or off at the next bus stop before stopping. When there is no passenger up and down, the bus can pass directly without stopping, increasing operating speed. Based on the stochastic theory, the paper gave the cal...Show More
This paper proposes a School Bus Stop location and Routing Problem with Walking Accessibility and Mixed Load (SBSLRP-WA-ML), where the individual difference of walking accessibilities among students and the possibility of serving students attending different schools with the same bus simultaneously are considered. We first develop a mixed integer programming model for SBSLRP-WA-ML with the objecti...Show More
Electronic bus stop signs in the city of Taipei provide information on buses that arrive at every stop sign, particularly the details of the bus and arrival/departure timings. The locations of those stop signs are fixed, and it is expected that the bus stops at the point where the sign is located, allowing passengers to board easily. This paper reports a behavioral study using a computer-assisted ...Show More
It is desirable to provide the accurate bus arrival time for bus riders' convenience and for bus service providers' quality of services. In this paper, we compare and evaluate a realtime bus arrival prediction system for short-distance (< 1km) bus stops using real time and publicly available online information, including bus location, weather, traffic status and passenger flow...Show More
According to the difficulty of urban bus stop planning, a method which is based on optimization theory is introduced. First, the minimum passengerspsila total traveling time model base on the shortest stop distance is adopted to calculate the optimum stop distance and determine the number of bus stops. Then, the bus stop coverage rate model is used to predict the development scale of urban bus sto...Show More
We have been developing a bus location system using LoRa for the community buses in Nonoichi city, Japan. The conventional system has covered only one route and have had reliability problems that communication is done incorrectly in rare cases, sometimes the bus position display is incorrect. Therefore, we decided to cover the entire city of Nonoichi with LoRa network and support all routes runnin...Show More
This research presents the end-user satisfaction of the Internet bus transit system at the University of Phayao, Thailand. The bus stops are combined with the Internet of Things technology to provide useful reports on campus transportation such as the real-time positioning of the buses in each line, bus arrival time display, the status of the number of passengers in the bus, etc. Moreover, the con...Show More
Bus systems play an important role in the modern city. Carefully designed bus stop locations can lift up overall transportation efficiency and save more time for passengers. In this paper, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)-based approach is proposed to find the optimal placement of bus stops in Waterloo/Kitchener area. The selection of the bus stops placements takes into account neighborhood popul...Show More
In this work we tackle the bus stop selection step for the School Bus Routing Problem (SBRP). Our goal is to minimize the number of bus stops in order to assign all students to a bus stop respecting a home-to-bus-stop walking distance constraint. Our strategy creates a large number of possible bus stops points in a road network and uses a pseudo-random constructive heuristic algorithm to assign st...Show More
In India, many forms of public transportation are convenient for the users, amidst them buses play a key role. An average person in a city roughly spends thirty minutes for bus arrival every single day that merely adds up eight hours a week. Energy consumption by buses has dramatically increased and so the dependency on petroleum with raising pollution. In addition, lack of proper bus transportati...Show More
The passengers of transit-oriented public transportation have experienced growth. Reorganizing public transportation routes must be proposed in order to adapt to the increasing number of passengers. This research aims to reorganize bus routes by clustering bus stops on every route of transit-oriented public transportation route in order to meet the customer demand and suit the planned routes with ...Show More
Public transportation such as a bus is often used to travel to various places in Indonesia. Each bus will only stop at each bus stop transit. However, the bus stop transit in Indonesia, especially at Bandung city, is not friendly to disable person like visually impaired people. In this research, a smart public transportation bus stop transit is designed and implemented, which can inform the identi...Show More
In this study, we use the means of web crawler to obtain the information data of bus stops in specific cities by using 8684 website and Baidu map as the data platform, and conduct data cleaning and visual analysis on the detailed data of the stops to analyze the distribution of urban stops. Finally, based on this, a city bus stop information collection and analysis software is formed to make up fo...Show More
Common bus route navigation system provides distance and transferring information based on the user-determined start point and end point on the map. This paper presents the research and experiment of an advanced bus route navigation system in Beijing, which can additionally provide travel time information from start to end. The travel time is predicted based on statistical and real-time traffic in...Show More
Realtime bus waiting time information is of great importance to the intelligent public transportation system and is beneficial for improving user satisfaction by online map services. While there are limited realtime bus waiting time services in a city, because of the expensive cost of sensor deployment and sophisticated traffic conditions. To address the above problem, we propose Du-Bus, a multi-s...Show More
The paper analyses the main factors that influence bus stops time at the bus stop, and bus bay stop time model is established. By comparing theoretic data with practical data, rationality and validity of the model was validated.Show More
Under the background of implementing the "public transit priority" strategy, it is of great significance to study the traffic flow in the bus stop area to solve traffic problems. Based on the field research, this paper uses VISSIM simulation software to study the common influence of bus arrival frequency and nonmotor vehicle traffic volume on traffic flow in bus stop area under the premise of fixe...Show More
The types of urban passenger transport are of the greatest importance for the life of the city, the role of which is a modern city is reduced to providing convenience and reducing the time spent on travel. The capacity of the bus stop point is an important part of the public transports system where the efficiency of the public buses depends on the high workability and the level of service at these...Show More
