In this current condition, people’s interest in using public transportation Jember is decreasing with a low load factor value below 50%. It can be caused by the quality of services provided service providers to satisfaction transport users. Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) method used determine level users District.

This paper analyzes the political economy of transport-system choice, with the goal of gaining an understanding of the forces involved in this important urban public policy decision. Transport systems pose a continuous trade-off between time and money cost, so that a city can choose a fast system with a high money cost per mile or a slower, cheaper system. The paper compares the socially optima...

As the applied fields of GIS are expanded to the transportation, developing internet-based applications for transportation information is getting attention increasingly. Most applications developed so far are primarily focused on guidance systems for privately-owned cars. Although some recent ones are devoted to public transportation systems, they show limitations in dealing with the following ...

Recent advances in transit modeling can provide detailed contact patterns for passengers of public transportation networks. A natural way to represent such patterns is in the form of graphs. In this paper we analyze the public transportation network of a major metropolitan area from a unique perspective. We present a novel network structure to identify and track the relationships between passen...

In order for a municipality to effectively service and engage its constituency, it must understand the composition of the communities within it. Up to the present, such demographic estimates for target populations have been obtained largely from census data or expensive, time-intensive surveys. In this paper, we use Twitter microblog content to estimate the gender makeup of commuting population...

The association between public transportation for commuting and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) was analyzed in workers in Lima, Peru. Traveling in minibuses was a risk factor for pulmonary TB. Preventive measures need to be taken by health services to prevent spread of this disease.

Just before a hurricane is predicted to strike an urban area, millions of people evacuate from impact zones to safer regions. This paper provides a mass-evacuation strategy using public transportation before the strike of a hurricane. The assumptions made are that the evacuation zones, shelter locations, and the time of strike of the hurricane are pre-determined. The evacuation operations comme...

The author examines methods for a special class of path planning problems in which the routes are constrained. General search algorithms assume that we can move around in the traffic network freely, so they extend the partial paths from the very last location to each of its neighbors to form more partial paths. The best partial paths are then selected to expand, unless the selected partial path...
