High quality information is a key element of passenger experience, and current area research innovation for the transport sector. While there on obtaining feedback opinions from passengers provision, knowledge gap around industry perspectives delivery. Addressing this useful to develop holistic understanding requirements future rail both in terms technology content. The aim study was identify p...

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are gaining recognition in developing countries like India. This paper describes the various components of our prototype implementation of a Real-time Passenger Information System (RTPIS) for a public transport system like a fleet of buses. Vehicle-mounted units, bus station units and a server located at the transport company premises comprise the system...

Accessing relevant legal information found in text excerpts from heterogeneous sources is essential to the decision making process in consumer disputes. The Ontology of Relevant Legal Information in Consumer Disputes (ric) is the domain-independent ontology modeling this relevant legal information comprising rights, their requisites, exceptions, constraints, enforcement procedures, legal source...

Current transit data collection systems emphasize either passenger counting or vehicle location information. The prototype described in this paper represents the integration of automatic passenger counting with automatic vehicle location to allow the automatic collection of transit system performance. The system involves the incorporation of RF/ID tags into bus passes for the purpose of improvi...

Passenger flow modeling and station dwelling time estimation are significant elements for railway mass transit planning, but system operators usually have limited information to model the passenger flow. In this paper, an artificial-intelligence technique known as fuzzy logic is applied for the estimation of the elements of the origin-destination matrix and the dwelling time of stations in a ra...

Passenger-friendly train disposition is a challenging, highly complex online optimization problem with uncertain and incomplete information about future delays. In this paper we focus on the timing within the disposition process. We introduce three different classification schemes to predict as early as possible the status of a transfer: whether it will almost surely break, is so critically del...

I nformation that facilitates efficient movement through transit facilities provided by station architecture or by signs is a crucial design factor affecting such issues as passenger security, convenience, and the desire to use transit. The information aspect of station design can also have a major impact on capital and operating costs, The information needs of passengers in transit facilities,...

The physiological studies since the Hubel and Wiesel’s experimentation of cat’s visual cortex have confirmed the consensus about the brain’s intelligence of visual perception. A new way of enhancing the safety of vehicle is proposed by employing the neuromorphic VLSI or processing for mimicking the robust and natural intelligence of visual recognition, inspired by both the Hubel and Wiesel’s ex...

This research explores the application of archived data from Automated Data Collection Systems (ADCS) to transport planning with a focus on bus passenger travel behavior, including Origin-Destination (OD) inference, using London as a case study. It demonstrates the feasibility and ease of applying trip-chaining to infer bus passenger OD from smart card transactions and Automatic Vehicle Locatio...
