The Attitudes of Bus Users to Travel Time Variability
نویسنده
چکیده
The Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds is carrying out research about the reliability benefits from improved bus infrastructure. The study includes both demand and supply modelling, and it is hoped that the final stage of the project will include an economic analysis of the effects on reliability of different bus infrastructure improvement scenarios. Of the various measures for transport system reliability or unreliability, the project focuses on travel time variability (TTV). In the current paper we present results from the first research phase, which deals with modelling the attitudes of bus users to TTV and with their departure time choice considerations.

A statistical analysis framework for bus reliability evaluation based on AVL data: A case study of Qazvin, Iran
Reliability is a fundamental factor in the operation of bus transportation systems for the reason that it signifies a straight indicator of the quality of service and operator’s costs. Todays, the application of GPS technology in bus systems provides big data availability, though it brings the difficulties of data preprocessing in a methodical approach. In this study, the principal component an...
متن کاملQuantifying the joint impacts of stop locations, signalized intersections, and traffic conditions on bus travel time
Quantifying factors that affect bus travel time along arterials is necessary to prioritize investments to reduce bus travel time and its variability and to design advanced prediction and traveler information systems. The joint effects of bus stop location (near vs. far side), intersection delay and traffic conditions on travel time have not been addressed in the literature. To fill this researc...

متن کاملUsers of Different Travel Modes Differ in Journey Satisfaction and Habit Strength but Not Environmental Worldviews: a Large-scale Survey of Drivers, Walkers, Bicyclists and Bus Users Commuting to a Uk University
People who travel to the same university workplace by bicycle, bus, car, and walking were compared in a survey (N=1609). Data are presented on environmental worldviews, journey affective appraisals, and habit strength. Unexpectedly, findings showed comparable levels of environmental worldview across modes. This might reflect the role of attitudes on behaviour, or question the validity of the es...
متن کاملUsing Traffic Flow Data to Predict Bus Travel Time Variability Through an Enhanced Artificial Neural Network
This paper aims at predicting bus travel time and its day-to-day variability using a range of independent variables including traffic flow data. Among many factors impacting bus travel time, existing prediction approaches have not considered a traffic measure making their predictions unresponsive to the time dependent fluctuations in traffic flow and dynamic changes in traffic congestion. In ad...
