The transition to new forms of urban transport, which are environment friendly, efficient, and cost-effective has become a pressing issue modern times. Battery electric buses being deployed worldwide, marking change in public transport planning operations. emergence fast ultra-fast wireless charging for brought about the need processes associated decision-support models their deployment. object...

Automatic passenger counter (APC) systems have been implemented in various public transit systems to obtain bus occupancy along with other information such as location, travel time, etc. Such information has great potential as input data for a variety of applications including performance evaluation, operations management, and service planning. In this study, a dynamic model for predicting bus-...

Research in transportation frequently involve modelling and predicting attributes of events that occur at regular intervals. The event could be arrival of a bus at a bus stop, the volume of a traffic at a particular point, the demand at a particular bus stop etc. In this work, we propose a specific implementation of probabilistic graphical models to learn the probabilistic dependency between th...

In order to prevent global warming, the emissions of greenhouse gases must be reduced. In public transportation systems, electric buses can help to achieve this. However, the deployment of electric buses has been limited to public corporations as a result of the weight of the required energy storage devices. One approach to addressing this problem is rapidly charging the electric bus at every b...

The use of geographic information systems in determining transit service areas has not progressed far beyond simple buffering operations even though there is widespread capability to analyze network walking distances in conjunction with demographic, cadastral, and land-use data sets. This article presents a method for determining the population with walking access to bus stop locations using th...

So I’m in Atlanta at the end of a business trip. I’m running late, I’m exhausted, I want to get home. I’m in the bus to the airport, I can’t remember which stop is the stop for my airline, and the way the airport building is laid out, I can’t see the names of the airlines over the curb. So I have to listen for the announcement on the PA system. Which should be no problem. Except that this bus i...

Recent developments in technologies such as Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and advanced control systems have stimulated new interest in bus priority facilities using traffic signals. The use of AVL systems has generated opportunities for implementing flexible busspecific priority strategies according to performance. The extent of the opportunities available depends very much on the architectu...

With increasing data availability due to intelligent transportation systems (ITS) deployments, methods for assessing and reporting traffic characteristics and conditions have begun to shift. While previous level of service (LOS) methods were developed for use with limited data, we now have the power to develop and test the use of actual performance measures. Important measures like average spee...

This study investigated the effectiveness of computer-based video instruction (CBVI) to teach three young adults with moderate intellectual disabilities to push a “request to stop bus signal” and exit a city bus in response to target landmarks. A multiple probe design across three students and one bus route was used to evaluate effectiveness of the CBVI program. All instructional sessions occur...
