Bus rapid transit (BRT) is one of the strategies to promote improvements in urban mobility. In this study, BRT scenarios, which integrate exclusive bus lanes and priority signal control mixed traffic were modelled using a VISSIM microsimulation. Three scenarios represent 16:84, 38:62 54:46 modal splits between public transport private vehicles. It was found that Scenario 4 (the scenario) offers...

BRT appears to be less expensive to build and operate than tram systems but can it really approach the performance level of a tram system and what is the environmental performance of comparable systems? This paper reports systematic research on these issues, particularly relating to where an urban transit system seeks to attract discretionary car users. A model has been developed to compare the...

In this paper, a multi-perspective decision support system (MP-DSS)‎ ‎to design hierarchical public transportation network is developed‎. ‎Since this problem depends on different perspectives‎, ‎MP-DSS consists of two sub-systems with macro and micro sub-systems based on travel information‎, ‎land use and expert knowledge‎. ‎In the micro sub-system‎, ‎two sub-modules are developed considering o...

Successful Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) planning initiatives in Latin American cities involved complex interactions among stakeholders, politicians and planners. Asian cities under different geo-political settings may not be able to achieve successful BRT planning initiatives under similar circumstances. This paper reviews the recent mass transit planning initiatives, especially BRT planning initiat...

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menerapkan metode Analytic Hierarchy Process terhadap faktor-faktor memengaruhi masyarakat penggunaan untuk men...

Bogotá and Curitiba have become important references for public transportation in Latin America and have gained worldwide recognition for their technically and managerially innovative bus-based public transportation systems (Bus Rapid Transit, BRT). However, despite the huge success of these projects, most people living in these cities still use other modes for their daily trips. The main aim o...

The mobility plan and the road infrastructure works implemented, together with Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) connected bus system in its first two phases, generated optimistic expectations about reduction of lethal crashes city. This research studies relationship between investments transportation city distribution traffic fatalities. Although it is not strictly speaking an impact assessment, approac...

The purpose of this study is to understand how a pioneer Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) company in Indonesia strengthens its business resilience when facing uncertainty due the COVID-19 pandemic. A qualitative approach through distributing questionnaires followed by in-depth interviews and focused group discussion has helped discover that BRT not fully prepared for then decided strengthen risk managem...
