In order to counterbalance movement of the city is by building mass transportation. However, number users who interested in using Trans Padang Corridor IV relatively low. Analysis performance and passengers characteristics Bus useful for improving based on passengers. This study used a quantitative method form observations, interviews, also questionnaires which were described descriptively. Per...

Users of mass transit systems such as those of buses and trains normally rely on accurate route maps, stop locations, and service schedules when traveling. If the route map, service schedule, or stop location has errors it can reduce the transit agency’s ridership. In this paper, the problem of deriving transit systems by mining raw GPS data is studied. Specifically, we propose and evaluate nov...

Buses are the unsung heroes of public transport in modern cities around the world in high, medium and low income countries. However, the bus system is usually cobbled by poor design which has resulted from poor understanding of how a busThis paper examines the impacts of the interactions between buses, passengers and traffic on bus operations, especially in relation to delays and capacity at bu...

1 Bus-stop consolidation is one of the most cost-effective ways for a transit agency to improve the 2 quality of their bus services. By removing unnecessary stops, buses will have reduced runtimes, 3 which can lead to higher frequencies and/or fewer buses on a route. Unfortunately, current 4 research on bus stop consolidation and stop spacing focuses on complex mathematical models 5 that are di...

One morning, we were waiting for our college bus. The Wipro industry bus was slowly passing nearby us looking for its employees. At the last moment, when the driver increased speed, one person stepped down from the auto rickshaw and shouted “stop the bus, stop the bus”. Voluntarily, whoever was present started shouting “stop, stop the bus”. The sound finally reached the bus driver who stopped t...

Developments in mobile technology offer new ways of supporting mobile decision making. One application domain in the area of Location Based Services (LBS) is the delivery of journey plans to a mobile device. Few journey planners are available for urban bus travellers and tend to restrict users to a limited number of journey endpoints. This is due to the challenges of modelling urban bus network...

When a bus is late and behind schedule, the stop-skipping scheme allows the bus vehicle to skip one or more stops to reduce its travel time. The deadheading problem is a special case of the stop-skipping problem, allowing a bus vehicle to skip stops between the dispatching terminal point and a designated stop. At the planning level, the optimal operating plans for these two schemes should be ta...

Many existing location sharing applications provide coordinate-based location estimates and display them on a map. However, people use a rich variety of terms to convey their location to others, such as “home,” “Starbucks,” or even “the bus stop near my apartment.” Our long-term goal is to create a system that can automatically generate useful place names based on real-time context. Towards thi...
