The introduction of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), typically involving the use of exclusive bus lanes and related bus priority measures, is increasingly advocated as a flexible and cost-effective way of improving the attractiveness of public transit in congested urban areas by reducing travel times and variability. These schemes typically involve the reallocation of road space for exclusive use by bu...

This study examines the effects of overlapping walking service areas of bus stops on the demand for bus transit. This requires controlling for variation in potential transit demand as measured by the number of dwelling units and their locations. A model of passenger boardings for the morning peak hour of service is estimated. Boardings are modeled as a function of potential transit demand at th...

In high frequency transit services, bus regularity i.e. the headway adherence between buses at bus stops can be used as an indication of service quality, in terms of reliability, by both users and transit agencies. The Web portal is the entry point of a Decision Support System (DSS), contains an environment designed for experts in transport domain. The environment is composed of tools developed...

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...

Bus stops attain their importance to the transit service from being the main points of contact between the passenger and the bus. Considering spatial attributes, both the location and the spacing of bus stops significantly affect transit service performance and passenger satisfaction, as they influence travel time in addition to their role in ensuring reasonable accessibility. Knowing that ever...

Abstract The rapid development of motorization in the city Semarang caused an increase congestion. This prompted City Government to provide adequate, safe and comfortable public transportation for community. service introduced 2009 was a transit system called Trans Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). study aims measure passenger’s level satisfaction with loyalty bus services. We measured using Customer Sa...

Transit usage is based on reliable and timely service. Priority is one method for maintaining reduced transit travel times and a reliable schedule, which make transit more attractive. However, with most buses operating within the same traffic lanes as other vehicle traffic, priority policy affects the surrounding traffic. Consequently, priority is often limited to minimal green time extensions ...

an intelligent BRT system is necessary when communities looking for new ways to use high capacity rapid transit at a reduced cost.This paper will describe the intelligent control system that works with Datacenter. With the help of GPS system, the data center can monitor the situation of each bus and bus station. Through RFID technology, bus station and traffic light can transfer data with bus a...

In this paper, a multi-perspective decision support system (MP-DSS)‎ ‎to design hierarchical public transportation network is developed‎. ‎Since this problem depends on different perspectives‎, ‎MP-DSS consists of two sub-systems with macro and micro sub-systems based on travel information‎, ‎land use and expert knowledge‎. ‎In the micro sub-system‎, ‎two sub-modules are developed considering o...

local bus network is the most popular transit mode and the only available transit mode in the majority of cities of the world. increasing the utility of this mode which increases its share from urban trips is an important goal for city planners. timetable setting as the second component of bus network design problem (network route design timetable setting vehicle assignment crew assignment) hav...
