Estimate Passengers’ Walking and Waiting Time in Metro Station Using Smart Card Data (SCD)

Inferring Social Functions Available in the Metro Station Area from Passengers' Staying Activities in Smart Card Data

The function of a metro station area is vital for city planners to consider when establishing a context-aware Transit-Oriented Development policy around the station area. However, the functions of metro station areas are hard to infer using the static land use distribution and other traditional survey datasets. In this paper, we propose a method to infer the functions occurring around the metro...

Behavioural analysis of railway passengers using smart card data

Smart card systems have been spreading globally not only for purchasing general goods and services, but also for fare payment of public transport. When an individual traveller is holding a public transport smart card, the precise times of his/her passing through ticket gates are recorded in the smart card system. The longitudinal smart card data of a large number of passengers have been stored ...

Measuring Passenger Travel Time Reliability Using Smart Card Data

Service reliability is a key performance measure for transit agencies in increasing their service quality and thus ridership. Conventional reliability metrics are established based on vehicle movements and thus do not adequately reflect passenger’s experience. In the past few years, the growing availability of smart card data allows shifting the reliability measures from vehicle’s to passenger’...

An Effective Use of Tokyo Metro Passengers Flow by Visualization of Smart Card Ticket 'PASMO' Origin-Destination Data for Public Transport Network to be Sustainable

This paper explores the possibility of improving operation and service of the Tokyo Metro system based on large scale trip records of smart card PASMO. Understanding accurate passengers' flow is important for Tokyo Metro to provide sustainable services. Though we already have several statistics such as transportation census, they do not have recent and temporal traffic information. The lack of ...
