This article presents information on bus collisions from the National Transit Database (NTD) and discusses implications of the findings on the design of transit collision warning systems. A total of 2,405 major transit bus collisions were reported in 2002 and 2003 that resulted in more than $15 million in property damage, 145 fatalities, and more than 8,000 injuries. According to the NTD, front...

The unbalanced nature of passenger demand and the uncertainty delay at intersections are considered critical factors in efficiency public transportation operations. Considering controllable characteristics bus rapid transit system (BRT), an integrated optimization model that includes multi-mode scheduling signal timing is proposed. robust copes with fluctuations operation. A non-linear programm...

The amount of time users have to wait influences their mode transportation choice. Commuters don’t like in the bus station, especially when weather is terrible and for purpose keeping appointments. Scheduling buses various terminals will meet commuter’s needs. aim study reduce waiting commuters at station assign each route. A mathematical model called linear programming (LP) was developed sched...
