This review paper consolidates the key research on the occupational health of urban bus drivers since the 1950s. Several electronic databases were searched and 27 key studies were identified, which form the basis of this paper. Early findings that bus drivers are liable to suffer ill health as a result of the job remain true today. The research has, however, demonstrated a greater understanding...

Abstract: It is important to count the number of passengers or to measure a trajectory of passengers in many fields, such as security of a building, marketing, etc. Various studies are conducted on the methods of counting or tracking passengers. For example, cameras have been mainly used in existing studies, but the disadvantage of using cameras is that geometric parameters like distance and ve...

Passengers of high-speed trains might be exposed to relatively high sound levels, compared to those inside conventional trains. In particular, sound levels inside Chinese high-speed train compartments may reach values as high as 80 dBA. Because traveling times are usually substantial in China, a wider variety of social activities occurrs inside the trains and more noise related problems for pas...

Air-rail integration services (ARIS) are a promising solution for intermodal travel, but they also offer challenges such as trip complexity and uncertainty that may negatively impact passenger satisfaction. This paper addresses the quality evaluation of ARIS with twofold purpose, specifically, (1) to explore causal relationships between psychological behavioral variables passengers (2) identify...

This study looks at discovering information about the dynamics of a metro network, in real-time, using entry and exit data from the passengers’ smart cards. The data shows to be a valuable source of information about the current conditions of the network for both operators and passengers. An algorithm was developed which used real-time data to determine journey time characteristics, and to dete...

The passenger transport demands at a given junction station fluctuate obviously in different time periods, which makes the rail departments unable to establish an even train operation schedule. This paper considers an optimization problem for train operations at the junction station in passenger dedicated lines. A satisfaction function of passengers is constructed by means of analyzing the sati...

This study aimed to compare injuries sustained by motorcycle drivers with those sustained by pillion passengers in fatal head-on motorcycle collision accidents. We examined 84 cases of fatal head-on motorcycle collision accidents, causing 79 deaths of drivers and 19 deaths of pillion passengers, using medical and medico-legal examination records. The distribution of superficial injuries, charac...
