Timetables are affected by scheduled waiting time (SWT), which prolongs the travel times for trains and thereby passengers. SWT occurs when a train prevents another train from running at the necessary speed. The SWT affects both the trains and the passengers in the trains. The passengers may be further affected due to longer transfer times to other trains. SWT can be estimated analytically for ...

The UK’s railway network is extensive and utilised by many millions of passengers each day. Passenger and train movements around the network create large amounts of data; details of tickets sold, passengers entering and exiting stations, train movements etc. Knowing how passengers want to use the network is critical in planning services that meet their requirements. However, understanding and m...

Increased competition in the commercial air transportation industry has made service quality of the airlines as one of the key competitive measures to attract passengers against their rivals. In-flight services, particularly food delivery and waste collection, have a notable impact on perception of the overall airline's service quality because they are directly and interactively provided to pas...

In this study, a research of injuries of passengers in city buses is presented, which are not a consequence of collision of buses with other objects. The number of injured passengers in the territory of Belgrade was registered, during three consecutive years. Most frequently injured body part was the head, while women over the age of 60 are the most vulnerable population of passengers. The most...

This study sought to determine the need of seat belt reminder system for rear seat passengers for vehicles particularly in Malaysia. Analysing road crashes involving passenger vehicles, rear seat occupancy was evaluated. Besides, compactness of the rear seat was accordingly assessed. As results, a high rear seat occupancy, with significant number of seats being occupied can be observed. This fi...

Of 2,275 cases of non-fatal injuries sustained by all categories of road users 185 were inflicted on back seat passengers. Twenty-six such passengers sustained severe and 66 moderately severe injuries. Only two patients (aged 18 months and 3 years) wore any form of restraint. Back seat passengers may be injured by impact with the rear of the front seat or other objects in the rear compartment; ...

We assume that the bus has q seats and that the number of passengers does not exceed q. Suppose that the route consists of N segments and that the bus stop only at the beginning of the route and at the stations located at the end of each segment. Passengers board the bus or get off from it only at the stations. Let us denote by ξ2n−1 (n = 1, 2, . . . , N) the number of passengers in the bus alo...

This study examines the moderating effects of involvement with respect to customer relationship management of the airline sector, according to the perceptions of Taiwanese international air passengers. Results indicate that relationship bonding, perceived relationship investment, relationship quality and behavioral loyalty are positively related, with involvement moderately affecting how financ...

A number of recent reports from the Northern Hemisphere have drawn attention to the occurrence of summer outbreaks (May to August) of influenza A among cruise ship passengers and their contacts. In cases amongst passengers returning to Canada from Alaska, exposure appears to have occurred during the land-based Alaskan tour with illness developing during the subsequent cruise. A late summer outb...

This paper considers the integrated recovery of both aircraft routing and passengers. A mathematical model is proposed based on both the flight connection network and the passenger reassignment relationship. A heuristic based on a GRASP algorithm is adopted to solve the problem. A passenger reassignment solution is demonstrated to be optimal in each iteration for a special case. The effectivene...
