Rail transit OD matrix estimation and journey time reliability metrics using automated fare data
The availability of automatic fare collection (AFC) data greatly enhances a transit planner's ability to understand and characterize passenger travel demands which have traditionally been estimated by manual surveys handed out to passengers at stations or on board vehicles. The AFC data also …

Measuring journey time reliability in London using automated data collection systems
Service reliability is critical for both users and operators of transit systems. The rapid spread of Automated Data Collection Systems, such as Automated Fare Collection (AFC) and Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), provides new sources of information that can be used to measure and assess service …

A framework for measuring passenger-experienced transit reliability using automated data
… ability to understand and improve service reliability experienced by passengers depends upon their ability to measure it. Traditionally, largely due to data collection limitations, passengers' experience of reliability has not been measured directly. As a result, operators often fail to …
