The raison d'etre of the Airline Passenger Transportation System (APTS) is the rapid, affordable, and safe transportation of passengers (and cargo). Traditional APTS performance metrics, such as flight delays and cancellation rates, fail to account for the delays to passenger trips caused by cancelled flights, missed connections and diversions. Previous research estimated Passenger Trip Delays ...

Today, automation driven by information technology has overtaken the usual traditional manual operation in every key sector of human endeavor. It has greatly improved both productivity level and quality of service amongst other benefits. The existing bus transit system in South Africa (SA) is still characterized by inefficient manual operations among which are poor quality of service, non-user ...

in this paper, the methodology of aircraft air distribution system has been analyzed theoretically and experimentally. to achieve that, ducting pressure loss and air flow throw gaspers calculations has been done for cabin ducts in according to exact location of individual air distribution system in the cabin. the length of gasper air flow was compared with the distance between gasper outlet and...

The development of a seat reservation system by JNR (Japanese National Railways) named MARS has been sustained by the growth in passenger transportation operations and the progress of computer technology in Japan. But passenger operations of JNR handled only 23 percent of total passenger traffic in 1985 and the growth in the share of JNR is trifling today. Therefore more efficient and economica...

Integration of Latvia in the Common European Market and its joining the EU has highlighted new demands to passengers’ transportation – high mobility, inter-modality, comfort observing of passengers’ rights as well as new requirements to the interaction of transport and environment. It is impossible to exercise complete account of all these requirements without a systematic approach and applying...

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...

This paper presents an improvedmodel for improving headway-based bus route service reliability at bus stops using real-time preventive operation control, taking into account dynamic interaction among random passenger demand, stochastic driving conditions of route segments, and vehicle load capacity constraint. In this model, the real-time information of passenger demand and vehicle operation is...
