Abstract:

Transit bus passenger loading changes significantly over the course of a workday. Therefore, time-varying vehicle mass as a result of passenger load becomes an important factor in instantaneous energy consumption. Battery-powered electric transit buses have restricted range and longer “fueling” time compared with conventional diesel-powered buses; thus, it is critical to know how much energy they require. Our previous work has shown that instantaneous transit bus mass can be obtained by measuring the pressure in the vehicle’s airbag suspension system. This paper leverages this novel technique

Abstract:

This paper presents a dynamic extra buses scheduling strategy to improve the transit service of transit routes. In this strategy, in order to decide when to dispatch an extra bus, the service reliability of transit route is assessed firstly. A model aimed at maximizing the benefit of the extra buses scheduling strategy is constructed to determine how many stops extra buses need to skip from the terminal to accommodate passengers at the following stops. A heuristic algorithm is defined and implemented to estimate the service reliability of transit route and to optimize the initial stop of extra

Abstract:

The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments mandated stricter emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles. One category of heavy-duty vehicles, urban transit buses, constitutes a highly visible source of pollutant emissions and must meet even more stringent standards. In response, engine manufacturers have produced diesel engines that produce virtually no black smoke and emit several times less particulate matter (PM) than older engines. The tighter PM emissions standards that apply to urban transit buses only were found to be cost-effective ($4,600 to $6,300 per Mg of PM reduced) compared with other co

Abstract:

The Motor Vehicle Emissions Simulator (MOVES) quantifies emissions as a function of the operating mode (opmode) and emissions rates. The opmode, the determinant parameter in estimating emissions, is defined by two critical parameters: speed and scaled tractive power (STP). Activity characteristics of transit buses are commonly recognized as being quite different from those of other vehicles, and this study found the values of the two parameters for transit buses to be much smaller than those for other vehicles. However, the MOVES program uses an identical opmode binning method for transit buse

Abstract:

Bus rapid transit (BRT) has a great potential to improve the service level of transit system and has been implemented in many Chinese cities. However, the priority it can provide to buses has not been explored fully. Therefore, this study mainly investigated two advanced control strategies (signal priority using advanced detection and transit speed control). Signal priority using advanced detection is a strategy which detects one cycle ahead of buses’ arrival in order to adapt a more flexible control algorithm to provide signal priority for buses. Another is transit speed control, which provid

In a traditional transit system, passenger arrival time and bus running time are typically random and uncoordinated. This randomness gives the appearance of unbalanced passenger demand and unreliable transit services. Therefore, this paper proposes a real-time control method for bus routes.

Our real-time control method considers the typical changes in passenger demand and the stochastic travel time of buses. In this pap

Abstract:

High-quality transit service is a vital aspect of any modern city. When unexpected interruptions to the transit service occur, they reduce the quality of service provided to the public. One of the main strategies that is employed to deal with rail service interruptions is “bus bridging,” whereby buses from scheduled services are deployed to offer shuttle services. Very few efforts are found in the literature that have investigated this policy’s effectiveness. Therefore, this study aims at exploring the different aspects and impacts of retracting buses from scheduled services in response to sub

Abstract:

Do private transport services complement or compete against public transit? As transit agencies scramble to adjust to the new transport landscape of mobility services, this has become an important question. This study focuses on New York’s commuter vans (also known as “dollar vans”), private vans that have operated alongside public transit for decades. We use original survey and observational data collected in the summer of 2016 to document basic ridership characteristics and to provide insight into whether the commuter vans complement or compete against city buses. Commuter van ridership in E

Abstract:

Although the bus probe data have been widely adopted for examining the transit route efficiency, this application cannot guarantee the accuracy in special temporal and spatial segments due to the inadequate probe samples. This study evaluates the feasibility of automatic vehicle location data as probes for the bus route travel time evaluation. Our techniques explore the minimum requirement of transit automatic vehicle location data to recover the bus trajectories in various spatial–temporal dimensions along the scheduled transit routes. First, a three-dimensional tensor is established to infer

Abstract:

Traffic congestion at peak times has long been a problem facing cities in the United Kingdom.1 Latterly concern about combating congestion has been hightened by worries over carbon emissions and poor air quality. In tackling these problems, green innovations incorporating new technologies appear to have much to offer, although progress in implementing these sorts of innovation appears to have been slow. This case study analyses the efforts of one city to tackle these problems by pioneering a number of green innovations including the introduction of a light rail system employing trams known as

Abstract:

For attracting more auto commuters to shift to transit mode and mitigating congestion at a bottleneck in morning &rush hour, additional dispatches of transit are operated during peak time. Classical bottleneck model combining with Logit-based discrete choice formula is extended to investigate commuters’ mode choice behaviors between private car and public transit. The existence of bi-mode user equilibrium when tolling auto commuter is proofed, and waiting time and time delay costs are formulated in two modes when additional buses are dispatched. Numerical experiments are conducted to exami

Abstract:

Recent advances in the electromobility of bus fleets improve transit service sustainability but require the development of vehicle recharging facilities. The paper defines a methodology to design an efficient transit network operated by battery electric buses in cities with grid-shaped road network, based on continuous approximations. An analytical model defines the optimal network configuration that minimizes the agency cost, the monetization of emissions and the travel time of transit users. The analytical model allows the comparison of total cost, emissions and bus performance to other fuel

This study aimed to develop travel time prediction models for transit buses to assist decision-makers improve service quality and patronage. Six-months’ worth of Automatic Vehicle Location and Automatic Passenger Counting data for six Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority bus routes operating in Washington, DC was used for this study. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models were developed for predicting travel times of buses for different peak periods. The analysis included variables such as length of route between stops, average dwell time and number of intersections between bus stops

Abstract:

As bus passengers often spend substantial amounts of time waiting for buses, many hope for access to real-time transit information to fulfill passenger demands for routes, station location, transit duration, and bus frequency information. This study develops a “Smart Bus Dynamic Transit System” using cellular phones to combine internet, XML documents, GPS positioning and transit path planning models to allow the inquiry of real-time bus and station locations. Users will be able to rapidly obtain knowledge of optimal transit locations and times, as well as estimated arrival times as reflected o

Abstract:

Four large, and often overflowing, dumpsters are situated at one of the more than dozen bus stops at the Chicago Transit Authority's (CTA) Red Line 95th Street/Dan Ryan train station. This station is on the city's far south side and the ridership on the buses that board and disembark there and the train is predominantly minority. On a warm or hot day, the smell of bus engines and dumpster contents fill the waiting areas. One 28–year–old Black male passenger (BMP) noted, as he stood at one of the nearly one dozen (no seating available) bus stops at the station, “In the summer it's really horrib
