Development of passenger flow time (PFT) model for light rail transit (LRT) users at KL Sentral Malaysia
… portion of the total trip time along a serviced transit line. One major component of dwell times is the alighting and boarding time of passengers, also known as passenger flow time (PFT). This mainly depends on the number of passengers alighting and boarding and the speed they do it. In Malaysia, …
