Understanding bus passenger crowding through origin destination inference
Comfort is an important aspect of the transit passenger experience. Crowding can significantly decrease passenger comfort and disrupt service delivery, causing passenger travel times to increase and even resulting in passengers being unable to board an arriving vehicle. Reducing crowding is …

Bus use behavior in multi-route corridors
… feature of bus networks. In these corridors, passengers select between a set of parallel routes. Understanding how passengers make these decisions can help better measure passenger experience and inform network and service planning. This thesis develops three methods for characterizing …

Service reliability measurement framework using smart card data : application to the London Underground
… an important dimension of performance to transit passengers, affecting not only their perceptions of service quality, but their travel behaviour as well. The ability of transit operators to understand and improve reliability relies on their ability to measure it. Until recently, efforts to …

Estimating train passenger load from automated data systems : application to London Underground
… of identifying which trains individual passengers take to get from their origin to destination while travelling in a high frequency urban rail transportation system. If this proves possible, the resulting information will inform capital and operations planning decisions as well as …

INVESTIGATING THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT: SURVEY OF INCLUSIVE DESIGN ATTITUDES WITHIN LONDON’S TUBE STATIONS
… Questions Q1: Who had favourable or inadequate experience at Tube stations? Q2: What, and who, caused favourable or inadequate experience at Tube stations? Q3: How can we overcome inadequate passenger experience? The survey group chosen were clients or designers of Crossrail, London’s newest …

MBTA Green Line 3-car train operating plans to enhance capacity and reliability
… to accommodate the changes without affecting passengers or the agency negatively. The MBTA Green Line, a Boston light rail system serving nearly 230,000 average weekday passengers, will be undergoing major changes in the next two decades, including nearly doubling of ridership and system …

Quality and quantity of service in lift groups
This research was focused on quality of service experienced by passengers in lift systems where multiple cars are sharing same shafts (multi car lift systems) and destination control. These modern lift systems have opportunities and constraints for control algorithms arising by existing and …

Using real-time data to improve reliability on high-frequency transit services
… in real time. This has dramatically improved the experience of riding transit, by allowing passengers to use detailed information on the current state of service to make more informed travel decisions. The "open data" movement has allowed independent mobile-phone app developers to create a variety …

Transit network design for areas with low and/or heterogeneous demand
… economical, which however further deteriorates passenger experience and deters patronage. Spatially heterogeneous demand as well as city street characteristics (e.g., network layout) calls for variation in transit service, which often leads to higher system costs and undesirable passenger …

Applications of Automatic Vehicle Location systems towards improving service reliability and operations planning in London
… agency being to provide high quality service to passengers. A framework for a service reliability analysis is developed which explores new passenger-centric measures used to describe the quality of transit service, which are measured with AVL data. First, an analysis of trends in service …

Airport Territory as Interface: Mobile Work and Travel in Hybrid Space.
… the future potential of work and air travel experience for constant travellers, design approaches from architecture and research methods from social studies should be combined. Abstract Global mobility, wireless technology and networked society are transforming the airport territory. These …

A framework for identification of systematic service deterioration in urban rail systems
… information from well-developed apps, urban rail passengers are more and more aware of how long their journeys should take. This also means that passengers are becoming more sensitive to the gap between the service they expect of and what was actually provided. On the other hand, in urban rail …

An Investigation of Factors that Influence Passengers’ Intentions to Use Biometric Technologies at Airports
… biometric technologies can be used to hasten passenger processes such as airport check-in, baggage drop-off or pick-up, and aircraft boarding, thus enhancing the overall passenger experience.</p> <p>This research investigated the factors that influence passengers’ intentions to choose the use …

An investigation of the (in)flexibility of the minibus-taxi operating license system: the case of Stellenbosch
… It also explores the limitations it places on passenger demands when land uses change over time. The study focusses on answering the following research questions: How did the relocation of the rank effect passenger transit conditions? Why did the locations of the ranks change? Is the existing …

Sequence modelling using deep learning approaches for spatiotemporal public transport data.
… be improved, as this is often requested by passengers. This will make the use of urban bus networks more convenient for passengers and, thus, will play a crucial role in shifting traffic to public transport. Ultimately, this will alleviate pollution and congestion and save a substantial …
