Don't stop just yet! A simple, effective, and socially responsible approach to bus-stop consolidation
1 Bus-stop consolidation is one of the most cost-effective ways for a transit agency to improve the 2 quality of their bus services. By removing unnecessary stops, buses will have reduced runtimes, 3 which can lead to higher frequencies and/or fewer buses on a route. Unfortunately, current 4 research on bus stop consolidation and stop spacing focuses on complex mathematical models 5 that are di...
متن کاملEmpirical Analysis of the Effects of Bus Stop Consolidation on Passenger Activity and Transit Operations
This paper analyzes changes in passenger passenger activity and operating performance following implementation of a bus stop consolidation project at TriMet, the regional transit provider for the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area. The study makes extensive use of archived bus operations and passenger activity data from TriMet’s automated bus dispatching system. Focusing on one of the first rou...
متن کاملStop the Truthiness and Just Be Wrong
Since their earliest days, databases have held themselves to a strict invariant: Never give the user a wrong answer. So ingrained into psyche of database theoreticians, researchers, and DBAs is this invariant, that those few attempts to violate it have included cumbersome data models [3,7,8], huge warning signs [4], or obnoxious language constructs that break classical SQL [1,5]. Sadly, by focu...
متن کاملA Hierarchical Approach to Optimizing Bus Stop Distribution in Large and Fast Developing Cities
Public transit plays a key role in shaping the transportation structure of large and fast growing cities. To cope with high population and employment density, such cities usually resort to multi-modal transit services, such as rail, BRT and bus. These modes are strategically connected to form an effective transit network. Among the transit modes, bus stops need to be properly deployed to mainta...
متن کاملTransit Assignment Model Based on Bus Stop
A public transit network differs from a general road network. The passenger flow of bus stops and the limited capacity of buses have a greater effect than road traffic flow on the running time of buses. As a result, conventional public transit assignment models that adopt the econometric road network path concept have numerous limitations. Based on the analysis, the generalized bus trip time ch...
