The Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual (TCQSM) provides transit agencies with tools for measuring system performance at different levels of operation. Bus service reliability, one of the key performance measures, has become a major concern of both transit operators and users because it significantly affects user experience and service quality perceptions. The objective of this paper...

Travel demand models have been developed and refined over the years to consider a characteristic normally found in travel data: spatial autocorrelation. Another important feature of data is its multivariate nature. However, regarding public transportation demand, there lack that scarce nature data, which generally are expensive collect, also need an appropriate level detail. Thus, main aim this...

Increasing the short circuit current due to the penetration of distributed generations (DGs) in various voltage levels and meshed topology is a basic problem in power systems. Using fault current limiter (FCL) is an efficient approach to mitigate the exceeded short circuit levels. In this paper, a new approach is presented for multiple FCLs locating to decrease short circuit levels in meshed ne...

Customer satisfaction is determined by the quality of services and desired, so that becomes a top priority for transportation providers. In Jambi City, mass has now been implemented Trans Siginjai Bus. buses are operated to reduce use private vehicles. So operation Bus required be able provide service. order anticipate user dissatisfaction regarding facilities Bus, an analysis needed determine ...

The notion of smart cities is being adapted globally to provide a better quality living. A city's mobility component focuses on providing smooth and safe commuting for its residents promotes eco-friendly sustainable alternatives such as public transit (bus). Among several applications, system that provides up-to-the-minute information like bus arrival, travel duration, schedule, etc., improves ...

This research extends a static threshold based control strategy used to control headway variation to a dynamic threshold based control strategy. In the static strategy, buses are controlled by setting a threshold value that holds buses at a control point for a certain amount of time before allowing the bus to continue along the route. The threshold remains constant each time the bus stops at th...

Installation of concrete pavement at the curb travel lane bus stop is a common way to improve resistance pads environmental and petroleum deterioration in Canada. The Satisfactory condition pavements remains key consideration development infrastructure, especially countries with an aggressive environment. Innovative materials that could remarkably increase service life infrastructure are being ...

With the abundance of public transportation in highly urbanized areas, it is common for passengers to make inefficient or flawed transport decisions due a lack information. The exact arrival time bus an example such information that can aid making better decisions. purpose this study provide method predicting path-based travel time, thereby assisting accurate and departure predictions at each s...

distributed generation (dg) sources are becoming more prominent indistribution systems due to the incremental demands for electrical energy. locationsand capacities of dg sources have great impacts on the system losses in adistribution network. this paper presents a study aimed for optimally determiningthe size and location of distributed generation units in distribution systems withdifferent l...
