Low-floor bus design preferences of walking aid users during simulated boarding and alighting.
Low-floor buses represent a significant improvement in accessible public transit for passengers with limited mobility. However, there is still a need for research on the inclusive design of transit buses to identify specific low-floor bus design conditions that are either particularly accommodating or challenging for passengers with functional and mobility impairments. These include doorway loc...
متن کاملOptimal boarding method for airline passengers
Using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo optimization algorithm and a computer simulation, I find the passenger ordering which minimizes the time required to board the passengers onto an airplane. The model that I employ assumes that the time that a passenger requires to load his or her luggage is the dominant contribution to the time needed to completely fill the aircraft. The optimal boarding strateg...
متن کاملEvaluation of Global Comfort for Train Passengers
The aim of this study is to propose a method for the evaluation of railway passengers’ comfort in relationship to temperature, noise, and vibration. Estimated the single comfort for every sensation considered, the global comfort is evaluated with the Hyper-Sphere Method proposed by Corriere & Lo Bosco [1]. The humanvehicle-infrastructure-environment variables which influence comfort are individ...
متن کاملModeling and simulation of passenger alighting and boarding movement in Beijing metro stations
This paper presents a cellular automata-based alighting and boarding micro-simulation model for passengers in Beijing metro stations. According to observations of passenger alighting and boarding behavior and an analysis of field data collected in three metro stations in Beijing, components of alighting and boarding time and the effects of different group sizes on the alighting and boarding per...
متن کاملInferring Passenger Boarding and Alighting Preference for the Marguerite Shuttle Bus System
We analyze passenger count data from the Marguerite Shuttle system operating on the Stanford University campus. The aim is to infer the time-varying passenger alighting and boarding preference across stops for several important shuttle routes. We look at the problem from the perspective of filling in the missing entries of a transit route O-D matrix. A preliminary analysis indicates that there ...
