Full textAbstract:
Because existing models have their limitations, there is a significant need for a model to estimate demand for intercity bus services, especially in rural areas. The general objective of this research was to develop an intercity mode choice model that can be incorporated into a statewide travel demand model to estimate demand for rural intercity bus services. Four intercity transportation modes were considered in the study: automobile, bus, rail, and air. A stated preference survey was conducted of individuals across the state of North Dakota, and a mixed logit model was developed to estimate a mode choice model. Results from the mode choice model showed the significant impacts of individual, trip, and mode characteristics on choice of mode. Gender, age, income, disability, trip purpose, party size, travel time, travel cost, and access distance were all found to have significant impacts on mode choice, and traveler attitudes were also found to be important. The study demonstrated how the mode choice model can be incorporated into a statewide travel demand model, and intercity bus mode shares were estimated for origin-destination pairs within the state. Alternative scenarios were analyzed to show how mode shares would change under different conditions or service characteristics. This study was conducted in the largely rural state of North Dakota, but results could be transferable to other areas with similar geographic characteristics.U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)

Full textAbstract:
While all four of the main modes of intercity passenger transportation in Canada (air, automobile, bus, and rail) are currently subsidized, rail recovers from its users a considerably lesser portion of the total cost of service than any of the other three modes. This thesis estimates the effect this imbalance has on the passenger network in two ways:
i) in physical terms -- the change in modal volumes given full-economic-cost pricing and the implications this has on network configuration; and
ii) in financial terms -- the dollar cost of the economic efficiency losses suffered due to non-full-economic-cost pricing.
The first element is estimated by calculating modal fares based on full cost recovery for 52 intercity routes between Winnipeg and Quebec City. The changes represent from the actual fares charged is translated into volume changes based on a set of demand elasticities developed for this thesis.
The second element is estimated for these same 52 routes using the standard deadweight loss triangle methodology which measures the loss in aggregate social welfare that exists when non-optimal prices are being charged. This result is then extrapolated to a national level.
The calculations show that given full-economic-cost pricing, air volumes would increase by 4.76%, automobile volumes by 0.32%, and bus volumes by 3.47%. Rail volumes would decline by 56.67%. While the changes are marginal for the non-rail modes and would not likely result in any changes to the network, rail would cease to be a viable mode on many routes.
The economic efficiency distortion caused by the failure to charge fares based on full economic costs amounted to about $130 million in 1986. This cost, along with the subsidy itself, is what the social and political benefits of continued VIA Rail subsidization must be compared to, not simply the amount of the subsidy, as is currently done.
This estimate of deadweight loss ignores positive tourism, energy, safety, and environmental externalities of rail, and thus overestimates somewhat the detrimental effect of VIA rail subsidies.Business, Sauder School of

There are currently about 120 airport rail links existing or proposed to be constructed around the world. The growth in the number of airport rail links reflects the almost relentless growth in air travel and the associated worsening congestion and delays on both landside and airside of airports. Rail-Air Passenger Intermodal Development (RAPID) in the United States has lagged behind the world trend, especially in comparison with Europe and Japan. This paper consists of two tasks: to examine technical priorities for the competitiveness of rail a s a feeder to a irports, a nd to i dentify key b arriers a nd recommend changes for RAPID development in this nation. Having an effective intermodal connection has proved to be the prerequisite for the successfulness of RAPID. When such a connection is available, enhancing intermodal cooperation is likely to be more effective than operating high speed rail in terms of the competitiveness of railfor airport trips. The speed of trains only needs to be high enough to ensure door-to-door trip time advantages over highways and flights in short- to mid- distance corridors. All the necessary technical options for RAPID have been widely applied in the world for decades. Even without technical challenges, RAPID development might be expensive and complicated with with many stakeholders and interest groups directly and indirectly impacted. Lack of effective intermodal infrastructure has been the primary hurdle impeding RAPID development in this nation. Unbalanced development in this nation's intercity passenger transportation system has resulted in the inability of intercity railroads to promote RAPID and the unwillingness of air carriers to connect and cooperate with the rail system.
(cont.) These problems make RAPID unlikely to be developed by relying solely on the private sector. Mode separation in the administrative framework and modal bias in policy generate further hurdles for RAPID from the public sector in terms of public funding, information, planning and cooperation. To succesfully achieve RAPID, the federal government must play a major role in terms of provding a) sufficient federal funding specifically for RAPID infrastructures and b) incentives to enhance the willingness of state and localities to support RAPID. The federal leadership and institutional support will also be necessary to increase modal integration to facilitate RAPID research, planning and decision making.

Full textAbstract:
Artificial intelligence has become a hot topic in the past couple of years because of its potential of solving problems. The most used subset of artificial intelligence today is machine learning, which is essentially the way a machine can learn to do tasks without getting any explicit instructions. A problem that has historically been solved by common knowledge and experience is the planning of bus transportation, which has been prone to mistakes. This thesis investigates how to extract the key features of a raw dataset and if a couple of machine learning algorithms can be applied to predict and plan the public bus transportation, while also considering the weather conditions. By using a pre-processing method to extract the features before creating and evaluating an k-nearest neighbors model as well as an artificial neural network model, predicting the passenger count on a given route could help planning of the bus transportation. The outcome of the thesis was that the feature extraction was successful, and both models could successfully predict the passenger count based on normal conditions. However, in extreme conditions such as the pandemic during 2020, the models could not be proven to successfully predict the passenger count nor being used to plan the bus transportation.

Islam, Md Faqhrul. "Impact of ubiquitous real-time information on bus passenger route choice." Thesis, Edinburgh Napier University, 2018. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1508471.
Full textAbstract:
Over the last decade, Ubiquitous Real-time Passenger Information (URTPI) has become popular among public transport passengers. The effectiveness of URTPI and hence the value of the investments into the necessary systems can be increased with a clear understanding of how URTPI influences passenger behaviour. However, such an understanding is still limited and fragmented. In particular, very little is known about the impact of URTPI on route choice. This study fills this gap evaluating the impact of URTPI on bus passengers' route choice. A revealed preference survey methodology was adopted for data collection and two questionnaire surveys targeting bus users were carried out. Categorical Regression and discrete choice models, such as Binary Logit Model and Multinomial Logit Model, have been applied to analyse the survey data. The study reveals that trip length, passenger age and profession are the main factors influencing the use of URTPI.Having access toURTPI, the frequency of its use is strongly influenced by the attributes of information and social norms. Bus arrival time and bus stop location are the two most important contents of information. Changing time ofdeparture from the start and the boarding time are the two most popular actions taken by bus passengers after consulting URTPI. Passengers' decisions are influenced by information on bus arrival time, bus route, and walking distance. As a result of the impact of URTPI on passengers' choices, the demand distribution for bus runs could potentially be changed by 33% and for bus lines by 22%. The overall network demand distribution could be affected in 42% of cases as a result of consulting URTPI.This study implicates that while investing in tailoring the sources of URTPI, passengers' preferred attributes and contents of information should be considered. Transport planners and operators should take the potential impact of URTPI into account to make better predictions of the PT demand distribution.

Full textAbstract:
Rural communities face a range of challenges associated with accessibility and connectivity. Though real-time passenger information systems (RTPIS) have been long heralded as offering the potential to mitigate some of these challenges their deployment in rural areas has been very limited. The lack of real-time passenger information has been identified as a contributing factor to a multitude of issues, such as high car usage, low public transport use and travel uncertainty. There is considerable potential for appropriate technologies to contribute to the alleviation of these issues, as evidence exists that they can influence travel behaviour, and cultivate positive attitudes towards the service and the operator. This thesis investigated the interplay between rural passenger experience and real-time information provision. Overall, this work aims to provide an initial stepping point on to understanding the interplay between passenger behaviour, disruptions, passenger experience, and real-time information. In order to explore the aforementioned, first, a series of interviews and focus groups with rural public transport passengers, rural transport operators, government agencies and members of academia have been carried out to study the rural passengers' responses to planned and unplanned travel disruption. Based on these i) a conceptual model that aims to describe the passenger recovery phases to disruption and the associated passenger information requirements, ii) and a framework that highlights characteristics of transport behaviour, and aligns them with drivers of transport behaviour adaptation have been created. Next, through a series of co-designed sessions in various rural areas throughout the UK a mobile technology probe, which provides public transport real time information to the passengers has been developed. Then using the technology probe a two-week before-and-after intervention study with 15 participants has been carried out. The results indicate that real-time information provided through the technology probe adjusted the travel behaviour of the participants. Namely, it improved the utilisation of waiting time of the participants, improved the efficiency of their travelling, and enabled them to find alternatives when needed. Further, to get a better picture of the effect of real-time information on rural travellers, during the intervention study 6 of the participants in their everyday travels for 7 days have been actively observed by the author. The outcomes from this supplemented the data from the study and illustrated how the rural public transport travellers used the system in their day-to-day travels. Finally, all our findings have been combined to co-create a system design with rural public transport passengers that aims to improve their experience during disruption. The final design mainly concentrated on providing information regarding pre-trip, on-trip and on boarding point, journey planning, supporting the rural passenger experience through social media, and disruption. In order to evaluate the applicability and suitability of the design, and explore how it relates to the needs of the rural passengers, two focus groups have been conducted. The results of the evaluation activity illustrate that the mobile RTPI system design was perceived as highly useful and relevant to the needs of the rural passenger.

Full textAbstract:
Changes in climate caused by changes in anthropogenic (i.e. "man-made") greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have become a major public policy issue in countries all over the world. With an estimated 28.4% of these emissions attributed to the transportation sector, attention is being focused on strategies aimed at reducing transportation GHG emissions. Quantifying the change in GHG emissions due to such strategies is one of the most challenging aspects of integrating GHG emissions and climate change into transportation planning and policy analysis; the inventory techniques and methods for estimating the impact of different strategies and policies are still relatively unsophisticated.
This research developed a method for estimating intercity passenger transportation energy and carbon footprints and applied this method to three US DOT-designated high speed rail (HSR) corridors in the U.S.-- San Francisco/Los Angeles/San Diego; Seattle/Portland/Eugene, and Philadelphia/Harrisburg/Pittsburg. The methodology consists of estimating the number of trips by mode, estimating the direct CO₂ emissions, and estimating indirect CO₂ emissions.
For each study corridor the impacts of different strategies and policies on carbon dioxide emissions were estimated as an illustration of the policy application of the developed methodology. The largest gain in CO₂ savings can be achieved by strategies aiming at automobile emissions, due to its sizeable share as main mode and access/egress mode to and from airports and bus and train stations: an average fuel economy of 35.5 mpg would result in a 38-42% savings of total CO₂ emissions; replacing 25% of gasoline use with cellulosic ethanol can have a positive impact on CO₂ emissions of about 13.4-14.5%; and a 10% market share for electric vehicles would result in potential CO₂ savings of 3.4-7.8%. The impact of a 20% or 35% improvement in aircraft efficiency on CO₂ savings is much lower (0.88-3.65%) than the potential impacts of the policies targeting automobile emissions. Three HSR options were analyzed using Volpe's long-distance demand model: HSR125, HSR150, and HSR200. Only the HSR150 and HSR200 would result in CO₂ savings, and then just for two of the three corridors: the Pacific Northwest (1.5%) and California (0.8-0.9%). With increased frequency and load factors, a HSR150 system could result in CO₂ savings of 5.2% and 1.8% for the Pacific Northwest and California, respectively. This would require a mode shift from auto of 5-6%. This shift in auto mode share would mainly have to be a result of pricing strategies. From these results, HSR may not be such an obvious choice, however, with increased ridership and diversions from other modes, CO₂ savings increase significantly due to the lower emissions per passenger mile for HSR. The framework developed in this study has the ability to determine the GHG emissions for such HSR options and increased diversions.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2005.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In April 2004, the then Transport MEC of the Western Cape, Tasneem Essop unveiled Government's grand vision of converting Klipfontein Road into a pioneering form of public transport called Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). BRT is the public transport system that the provincial government and City of Cape Town have selected to address South Africa's city transport problems, with a future looking perspective. BRT is characterised by dedicated bus lanes, which will be divided from the normal traffic lanes to ensure that 'express' buses can travel unhindered. Government envisages changing the 20 km Klipfontein Road Corridor stretching from the Inner City through Athlone/Gatesville to Nyanga and Khayelitsha into an activity axis of economic transformation, featuring bus stations, convenience stores, supermarkets, coffee shops and kerbside cafes. This vision of turning Klipfontein Corridor into a well of economic prosperity by using rapid bus transport is primarily what this study will focus on. We are asking whether this goal is attainable and what the positive and negative spin-offs are in respect of sustainable economic growth for the city and a reduction in racially rooted inequalities and inequities. Although a lot of the issues relevant for this study have been raised down the years of the MSDF (1993-1996), current literature on the Klipfontein Corridor is very limited as it is a first for the City of Cape Town and the government. In fact, the national and provincial governments in conjunction with the City of Cape Town have chosen the Klipfontein corridor as a pilot project, with a view to a national roll out in other provinces, if this venture proves successful.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In April 2004 het die destydse Minister van Vervoer in die Wes-Kaap, Tasneem Essop onthul dat die regering die groot visie het om Klipfontein weg te transformeer deur gebruik te maak van publieke vervoer bekend as BRT. BRT is die publieke vervoersisteem wat die streeksregering en Kaapstad gekies het, om Suid Afrikaanse stede se vervoerprobleme, met 'n toekoms vooruitsig, op te los. BRT word gekenmerk deur spesiale busbane, apart van die normale verkeer, sodat busse ongehinderd kan voortbeweeg. Die regering beoog om die 20 km Klipfontein korridor te verander in 'n aktiewe node van ekonomiese transformasie met busstasies en winkelkomplekse. Die korridor strek vanaf die Binne Stad deur Athlone/Gatesville na Nyanga en Khayelitsha. Die visie van Me. Tasneem Essop om die Klipfonteinweg te ontwikkel in 'n vooruitstrewende ekonomiese gordel, is die fokus vir die studie. Ons vra of die visie haalbaar is, en wat die positiewe en negatiewe moontlikhede is met betrekking tot langtermyn ekonomiese groei en 'n vermindering in rasse-ongelykhede. Alhoewel baie van die relevante probleme reeds deur die Metropolitaanse Ruimtelike Ontwikkelingsraamwerk (MROR) behandel was, is huidige literatuur oor die Klipfontein projek baie beperk. Tans is dit 'n eerste vir Kaapstad en die regering, wat beoog om soortgelyke projekte uit te rol in ander stede reg oor die land, indien die projek suksesvol is.

Full textAbstract:
Bus priority treatments such as busways, bus lanes and bus priority at traffic signals are all utilised in Australian metropolitan areas. These treatments are designed to reduce the travel time for buses and make this transportation mode more efficient and attractive. The common applications of such treatments for Australian
conditions are assessed in this research to identify the travel time impacts of introducing bus priority. This will assist in the selection of bus priority measures on
arterial roads for Australian conditions. The methodology applied here entails the identification of optimum conditions for using typical bus priority treatments.
This research identifies the number of bus passengers necessary to justify various forms of bus priority treatments with varying traffic conditions. The traffic
conditions modelled varied from low through to high degree of saturation for general purpose traffic on the road network. The resultant analyses demonstrated that as the degree of saturation increases, higher numbers of bus passengers are necessary to justify reducing the capacity by introducing bus priority. It is concluded however that
an economic analysis using travel time costs should not be the only criteria used to identify the appropriate bus priority treatment. It is suggested that bus priority should be part of an overall traffic management approach in conjunction with cost disincentives to cars and appropriate marketing for public transport. The current trends in bus priority treatments are addressed by considering a case study for the Gold Coast Highway located on Queensland's Gold Coast. This work
provides an evaluation of bus priority treatments and conditions for justification for such measures. The research summarises the impact of introducing bus lanes, transit lanes, bus priority at traffic signals and improved passenger information and ticketing systems for the Gold Coast Highway. The analysis indicates that journey time saving for buses of up to 20 percent may be achieved with these bus priority treatments.

Full textAbstract:
Several aspects make today’s transport system non-sustainable: • Production, transport and combustion of fossil fuels lead to global and local environmental problems. • Oil dependency in the transport sector may lead to economical and political instability. • Air pollution, noise, congestion and land-use may jeopardise public health and quality of life, especially in urban areas. In a sustainable urban transport system most trips are made with public transport because high convenience and comfort makes travelling with public transport attractive. In terms of emissions, including noise, the vehicles are environmentally sustainable, locally as well as globally. Vehicles are energy-efficient and the primary energy stems from renewable sources. Costs are reasonable for all involved, from passengers, bus operators and transport authorities to vehicle manufacturers. The system is thus commercially viable on its own merits. This thesis presents the results from three projects involving different concept buses, all with different powertrains. The first two projects included technical evaluations, including tests, of two different fuel cell buses. The third project focussed on development of a series hybrid-bus with internal combustion engine intended for production around 2010. The research on the fuel cell buses included evaluations of the energy efficiency improvement potential using energy mapping and vehicle simulations. Attitudes to hydrogen fuel cell buses among passengers, bus drivers and bus operators were investigated. Safety aspects of hydrogen as a vehicle fuel were analysed and the use of hydrogen compared to electrical energy storage were also investigated. One main conclusion is that a city bus should be considered as one energy system, because auxiliaries contribute largely to the energy use. Focussing only on the powertrain is not sufficient. The importance of mitigating losses far down an energy conversion chain is emphasised. The Scania hybrid fuel cell bus showed the long-term potential of fuel cells, advanced auxiliaries and hybrid-electric powertrains, but technologies applied in that bus are not yet viable in terms of cost or robustness over the service life of a bus. Results from the EU-project CUTE show that hydrogen fuelled fuel cell buses are viable for real-life operation. Successful operation and public acceptance show that focus on robustness and cost in vehicle design were key success factors, despite the resulting poor fuel economy. Hybrid-electric powertrains are feasible in stop-and-go city operation. Fuel consumption can be reduced, comfort improved, noise lowered and the main power source downsized and operated less dynamically. The potential for design improvements due to flexible component packaging is implemented in the Scania hybrid concept bus. This bus and the framework for its hybrid management system are discussed in this thesis. The development of buses for a more sustainable urban transport should be made in small steps to secure technical and economical realism, which both are needed to guarantee commercialisation and volume of production. This is needed for alternative products to have a significant influence. Hybrid buses with internal combustion engines running on renewable fuel is tomorrow’s technology, which paves the way for plug-in hybrid, battery electric and fuel cell hybrid vehicles the day after tomorrow.QC 20100722

Full textAbstract:
Public transportation has become one of the cornerstones for country’s infrastructure development. Road transportation is one of the important means of public transportation. Within road transportation, a large number of people use bus transport as the means to commute between one place for work, home, visiting friends, trips etc. Ensuring service quality in this service, therefore, becomes imperative for the transportation services providers. The research objectives are as follows: (a) To study passenger patterns and passenger preferences with respect to service quality dimensions. (b) To explore the impact of demography, transportation, technology, policy and road infrastructure attributes on service quality factors and their impact on overall satisfaction of intercity bus transportation. (c) To attempt a cause-effect relationship model of service quality in relation with overall satisfaction with intercity bus transportation. (d) To understand the nature of intercity bus passenger transportation in European cities and compare with the Indian scenario.
The sample consists of 605 intercity bus transport passengers travelling within Karnataka, with starting journey from Bangalore. The data analysis is based on statistical techniques namely, reliability analysis, factor analysis, K-means cluster analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Tukey HSD post-hoc test, Games-Howell post-hoc test, regression techniques, partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), multigroup analysis, mediation and moderation analysis.
Research findings showed that demography and transport attributes have significant differences in the perception of service quality dimensions and overall satisfaction. Passengers are clustered into three types based on their preferences. The first passenger type usually travels more than 350 kilometres by opting for the night journey and demand high service quality. The second type usually travels less than 50 kilometres, opts for day journey and has low demand for service quality. The third type of passenger usually travels more than 350 kilometres by opting day journey and they perceive service quality as moderate. While demography, policy and technology attributes significantly impact the service quality dimensions and overall satisfaction of intercity bus service, external tangibles like clean toilets and clean bus stands and environmental dimensions do not significantly impact the overall satisfaction.
Comparative study of the Indian and European context demonstrates technology interface as essential for passengers of both European and Indian context. However, environmental dimension significantly impacts the overall satisfaction of passengers in European context whereas it does not significantly impact the overall satisfaction of passenger in Indian context. Similarly, external tangibles such as clean drinking water, clean bus stops are important to passengers in European context, but not for passengers in the Indian context. This study contributes by developing passenger clusters based on their service quality preferences and identifying the influence of transport attributes on perception of service quality of transport

Intercity bus industry is a historical and important transportation in Taiwan, because of its cheaper price, it is still a considerable transportation. There are a lot of researches discussed about the intercity bus in Taiwan, but there are only a few researches discussed about emerging rising technology with intercity bus, like the application of ticketing data. As a result, Big Data Analysis of intercity bus is an important issue right now. By this research, we collected the ticketing data of intercity bus company H for one year quantity, to find out how input value, like, “Month, Weekday, Morning or afternoon, Holiday or not, Day’s number of holiday, direction of route,” affect the number of passengers, differential analysis of the passengers’ amount-changed between every weekday, then modeling it by ANN, and find out the usage rate of each pre-sale ticketing platform. After that, we can realize the performance of company of the intercity bus. By this research, the change of number of passengers from some weekdays have the difference between others. In ANN part, weekday is the most important input for whole model. In pre-sale ticketing platform part, the usage rate is affected by the time section. At last, we designed the questionnaire for the passengers of Route Taipei-Kaohsiung to find out the reason why they still take the service of this route provide from company ‘H’ even though they could not arrive to the destination directly. By this research, we found that the number of passengers has a regularly weekly change. But this pattern would not exist during the holiday. Then, statical result shows that the change of number of passengers from some weekdays have the difference between others, also the number of passengers from morning and afternoon are having difference, too. In ANN part, whether we took “month” as an input or not, weekday is still the most important input for whole model. In pre-sale ticketing platform part, the usage rate is affected by the time section. Finally, the questionnaire part shows the reason why the passengers of Route Taipei-Kaohsiung take the service provide from company “H”.

High speed railroad will come up soon, which should challenge the traffic business of trains, air planes and road buses. These businesses will be competed more intense than before. In order to increase more guests and markets, the proprietors may find many new methods to compensate the market such that they can work a long time. In the feature every business person may develop to have a compensated and competed behavior for each others. Everyone will understand that the price is not the only condition to compete others. If they can improve their service quality, that will help them do the business continually. The model of traffic selection needed the bunch of data to be discussed in the past years. The model was complicated to estimate such that it would be hard to analysis a lot of transports in the same time. Many factors such as comfort, safety, service convenience etc. would hardly combine into the model, but these important factors would affect the select behavior of passengers immediately. If we ignored these affections, it would not fit the particular behavior. The research attends to start in consumers view, construct a relative attribute which affect the vehicle selection. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to get many weights of variables. AHP can systematize the complex problem, and deliver it into different levels. Through the chose of quantification supply the sufficient information for designer to select proper method. iii The research involves the fuzzy logic to combine the consumers’ criterion in every attribute of transport. Understand the real passengers what is they really need will benefit the traffic proprietors who is trying to sufficient the consumers service the consumers and increase competed condition of themselves.

In this reaearch, we considered the concepts of pairwise comparisons to construct a questionnaire instead of facing a alternative by Likert 5-point scale. We used three position methods, the restricted version of KR model (including the clustering method and Maximum Simulated Likelihood(MSL) model), nested multinomial logit model and choice elasticitity to discuss the intercity bus market position situation between Kaohsiung-Taipei route, and showed the results by map. The results of three method are shown as follows: 1. The restricted version of KR model could be designated by different dimensions. The results of this method showed that we needed fewer variables when using 2-dimension MSL model, and it was also easier to estimate and the explanatory power was better than using the clustering method. When using 3-dimension model, we could find the taste variations clearly among the individual toward the intercity bus passenger company, but it was not easy to observe the position. 2. Positioning the intercity bus market by nested multinomial logit model could find out the correlation strictly between the intercity bus passenger company, and discussed the competitive situation. 3. Due to the high competition of intercity bus market, no one had the absolute advantage of price competition, we must consider all the factors that affected the benefits of companies. When using the choice elasticitity, we supposed that the consciousness of price variable may contain all the other variables of service quality, and only used one variable to analyze the market structure without considering all variables. Therefore, it could never explain the competition completely.

Demand of intercity transportation in Taiwan is increasing because of economical and recreational factors. Intercity bus is the important part of intercity public transit. At present, many intercity bus companies schedule and dispatch their vehicles manually. However, this strategy has no economical benefits and cannot meet the demand for companies. As a result, much research on intercity bus scheduling and dispatching optimization was conducted but few have been implemented for real life applications. The objective of this research is to analyze and design the intercity bus management system that meets the requirement of the intercity bus companies. The system is analyzed and designed in an object-oriented fashion. It is implemented using a platform independent language-Java with J2EE’s architecture for stability, availability, extensibility and maintainability. The system integrates six subsystems including computer-aided scheduling, station management, route management, driver management, vehicle management, and scheduling table management subsystems to help to improve the operational efficiency of intercity bus companies.

Discrete choice models have been extensively used to analyze consumer’s choice behavior. Traditionally, these models used only observed attributes and individual characteristics. The psychological factors affecting decision-making generally were not included in the utility function, which resulted in poor explanatory power. Factor analysis and structural equation model have been widely used in models with latent variables. However, only structural equation model can specify the cause-and-effect relationships between variables. Therefore, this study aims to combine structural equation model with multinomial logit model to incorporate latent variables into the choice model. Furthermore, this study also considers the individual’s taste heterogeneity. The empirical case is intercity bus route serving Kaohsiung and Taipei. The empirical results demonstrated the effectiveness of this methodology. It showed that the inclusion of latent variables significantly improved goodness-of-fit measure of the choice model. Two estimation methods, sequential and simultaneous, were adopted in this paper. The empirical results showed that these two methods yielded different results both in the choice model and in the structural equation model. When using the sequential numerical approach, the coefficient of in-vehicle travel time had the wrong sign and was less significant. Furthermore, the weight of fare variable was underestimated in the choice model. The empirical results showed that the individual’s taste heterogeneity was not significant when using the simultaneous numerical approach. The reason was that there were the latent variable’s random disturbance terms in the utility function. However, when using the sequential numerical approach, the taste heterogeneity should be included in the choice model or the estimators would be biased.

Thesis (M.Tech.: Marketing)-Dept. of Marketing, Durban University of Technology, 2008. xiii, 135 leaves.South Africa will host the Soccer World Cup in 2010. About 2.7 million local spectators and 400,000 visitors need to be transferred to and from the 10 host cities in 43 days. This is a huge challenge to the intercity bus transport industry, because the current transport system may not meet the demand for one of the world’s largest sporting event. The purpose of this study is to identify the current barriers to good service quality in the intercity bus transport industry. It focuses on the measurement of service quality and communication. In this research, the literature survey defined the service quality “gap” in this industry, identified the role of effective communication in the service delivery system, measured the variables affecting current service delivery using the SERVQUAL instrument, and prioritized the importance of the factors influencing service delivery in this industry. A questionnaire with 25 questions was designed to collect data. This study used convenience sampling to select 400 passengers as a sample, viz. 348 South Africans and 52 foreigners at the Durban bus station, since Durban is one of the ten host cities of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The data was analysed using SPSS. The results of this research pointed to the importance of external communication in the industry. Specific recommendations are made to improve the productivity, reduce vacancy rate and maximize the benefits to this industry in 2010 and beyond.

Training and developing excellent large passenger vehicle drivers is the prior requirement for intercity bus business to promote traffic safety and service quality. The driver’s behavior affects not only the team''s repairs, maintenance and fuel consumption but also the operating costs of fleet scheduling. The training concerns the degree of passengers’ traveling comfort and helps prevent connection failures from causing inconvenience to passengers; it also plays an important role in the corporate image and the overall satisfaction of passengers. In this study, I take 118 bus drivers in Taichung A bus company as my observing object. By collecting vehicle record information recorded in the driving behavior, the company''s internal management incentives, customers’ complaints, breakdowns, accident information and inquiries Highway Commissioner information system available to pay the amount of violation fines, drivers’ management system (DMS) which contains the driver’s test experience, the record of the license holders, service seniority, I make use of analysis of variance, cluster analysis and multinomial logistic regression to offer references to a bus company’s management and the training education of large passenger vehicle drivers as well as to provide information for testing large passenger vehicle drivers’ vocational qualifications and for upgrading drivers test, and for the system of drivers’ differentiating management lecture. Results of the analysis show that in the driving safety frequency model, the driving testing experience will affect the chances of speeding for not keeping a safe distance; driving operation of the inertia in the logistic regression model tests the number of driving test experience, passenger service qualifications, having the test experience of professional driver’s license or not will affect too high frequency of the occurrence probability of engine speed, occurrence of driving age will affect the frequency of acute risk of acceleration and deceleration; mechanical wear and tear of the number of oil model, any level-off test of mechanical experience of oil will influence the occurrence of the number of chances of loss; driving frequency of the incident and fault model, the passenger service qualifications, driving test will affect the driving experience and accident frequency rate of failure; driving violation fines to pay the amount of the model, the passenger service would affect the driving qualifications violation occurred to pay a fine of the amount of chances; incentives driving the number of the model, the driving test will have an influence on the driving experience of the probability of the number of awards.

The automobile passenger transportation industry has its particular characteristics including fixed location, scheduled time, fixed route and mass transportation capability. Data from the Environmental Protection Administration indicate that over 30% of air pollution sources are from mobile devices. Recent years, air quality in Taiwan is getting worse. The level of PM 2.5 often over standard and reaches purple level. Adopt electronic bus can decrease exhaust emission from the bus and provide quiet, no pollution public transportation environment. In 2017, the Executive Yuan announced the air pollution prevention action plan to promote the policy about adopting electronic bus in 2030. By the cooperation between central and local governments to support putting electronic bus into operating. Ministry of Transportation and Communications announce “Public Transportation Electronic Bus Subsidy Operating Rule” to execute the policy by cooperating with the Environmental Protection Administration. The electronic bus is a kind of new technology vehicle and expensive. For bus company, its reliability, reasonable and controllable total cost of ownership is very critical for providing reliable public transportation services to achieve the operating goals. Based on Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) model and case study, this study proposed four dimensions and twenty variables for this research topic. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is employed to weight each indicators and variables. The major result indicate that the sequence of the four dimensions is technology, environment, organization and human resources. Additionally, the top five critical variables are proper rate, endurance, supporting police for bus buying, battery life, and charge method. Among the above five variables, four of them are belonging to technical requirements. This means technical related issues are still the major concern for bus company to adopt electronic bus.

In the past, the study of service quality in public transportation more focus on elevating the service quality, less focus on the risk of customer dissatisfied caused by the negative quality. This reseach regards the implement of service quality as a managerial method of controlling risks. Hence we develop an integrated model of Kano、IEI、FMEA and QFD to manage the quality risk in public transportation. This reseach was using the method of questionnaire survey, and the passengers in Taiwan’s intercity-bus at Taipei bus station are served as samples. The result indicated that there’re no attractive qualitys and reversal qualitys; there’re three one-dimensional qualitys、seven must-be qualitys and seven indifferent qualitys. According to the result of IEI and FMEA, drivers appreciate the safety of passengers when they get on/off the vehicle、drivers attitudes、drivers’ road craft｣、the intercity-bus’ disposition of accident、the intercity-bus’ disposition of complaints or opinions and the waiting time are the worthiest quality risk attributes to improve. Based on the result of QFD, the intercity-bus should enhance the integrity of facility and provide the more reliable service to improve the quality risk attributes mentioned above. Finally, this reseach offers some discussions and suggestions for managerial implication and future researches of quality risk management.

The policy of allowing the Mainland tourists to visit Taiwan for sightseeing was implemented in 2008, until 2015, the number of Mainland tourists to visit Taiwan reached a new record. In addition, the tourism to Taiwan was popular among Chinese people, which has led to a booming development of the tourist car passenger transport market in Taiwan, and the number of practitioners and tourist cars were historically high. At the end of 2015, due to political factors, the number of the Mainland tourists to visit Taiwan for sightseeing dramatically decreased, which had great impacts on the tourist car passenger transport industry. The economic environment of cutthroat competition in Taiwan’s market can be only confronted by strengthening business operation, developing diversified passenger sources and improving industrial competitiveness. To ensure sustainable operation of enterprises, through the mechanism of enterprise diagnosis, the tourist car passenger transport industry shall be understood thoroughly, and potential problems and weaknesses of enterprises shall be found out and improved as early as possible. This study took company A as the case of diagnostic study, the diagnostic process started from inside to outside and the model framework of finance / management / strategy analysis (FMSA) created by Mr. Zhu-yi Yu was used as the reference. External analysis was conducted on the tourist car passenger transport industry to understand general conditions of upstream and downstream of the industry, development history, current status, industrial features, revenue and profitability of competitors, and furthermore, SWOT analysis and Five Forces Analysis were conducted. This study carried out the enterprise diagnosis by taking company A as the case, to calculate the break-even point and then to conduct internal enterprise diagnosis. Through the diagnosis based on seven major management functions (production, marketing, human resources, research and development, finance, administration and information), financial urgency indicator, management improvement feasibility indicator and strategy feasibility indicator of the case company were integrated. After cross-over and integration analysis, the problems in operation and development of company A were organized and the future guidance and improvement programs were proposed, to provide a reference for the enterprise to improve operation performance and also to use as the basis to assist bank references decision makers in risk judgment.

In recent years, the government has gradually paid attention to the development of public transport systems. In order to improve the external costs caused by private transport, it is committed to improving the utilization rate of public transport systems. However, travel time using public transport is more time-consuming than using private transport. In order to enhance the passengers' willingness to use the public transportation system, in addition to improving the convenience of the public transportation system, improving passenger comfort also significantly affects passengers' willingness to choose public transportation. At present, there are few studies on the degree of passenger comfort perception time in public transportation based on the situation of public transportation congestion, whether there is any difference in the car, and the relevant measures for comfort setting. In view of this, in order to grasp the public transport comfort information, this study considers the passenger comfort time cost, measures the comfort, and establishes a model that can rate the comfort of public transport passengers, by improving the quality of public transport services. Make public transport more attractive as travellers' mode choice.

Full textAbstract:
The South African Public Transport System plays an important role in the
development of the economy in the country and in the region as a whole. Without an effective and efficient public transport system, the country's economic status would not improve. Classical macroeconomic theory suggests that transport is one of several key preconditions for economic growth. Transport is an industry in itself and employs many people. The Government has developed policies to regulate passenger transport in South Africa and in particular Johannesburg. There are national and provincial regulations that have been enacted by the national and provincial government. These are National Land Transport Transition Act, Gauteng Transport Infrastructure Act, Gauteng Public Passenger Transport Act and Moving
South Africa Strategy. It was recognised in MSA that Metropolitan transport is clearly one of areas where crisis is looming. It is more and more difficult to move. Buses have lost clients to taxis. There seems to be consensus that the car is the only right choice for most citizens. The problem highlighted was that the public transport model is not working. Present urban transport strategy is based on short-term optimisation and it ignores the long-term effect of a poor urban transport-land mix. The secondary research seems to suggest that South African passenger bus transport in ineffective and inefficient. The research problem was subsequently stated to show that public transport in Johannesburg in ineffective because bus passenger transport model leads to dissatisfied passengers. Furthermore, the model is ineffective because of the past inequalities that led to poor transport infrastructure. This was found not to be true through primary research. The results showed that passengers were satisfied with the bus passenger transport in the Metropolitan areas of Johannesburg. Furthermore, it was found that indeed the poor infrastructure due to past inequalities has affected passenger transport service delivery. Overall, the passengers were satisfied with the bus transport model applied irrespective of where these passengers lived. It was then concluded that the bus passenger transport is effective. Operators have to be cautious of the fact that it is crucial to adopt a customer-focussed service approach as this will lead to satisfied passengers. The MSA strategy of the department of transport is heading in the right direction. It identifies the need for putting customers first. The strategy proposed a future core transport system that is high volume, high frequency corridors in which public transport will be a priority. Customer's need for improved access and short trip times will be met by having regular feeder services to the high volume corridors, user-friendly transfer facilities, short wait times due to high corridor frequencies and the possibility of differentiated services for customers with specific needs. The passengers transport strategy is moving from commuter-based modal transport to customer-based public transport there will be densification of transport corridors, optimal deployment of modes to meet customer service requirements and improving operators' level performance.Thesis (M.B.A.)-University of Natal, Durban, 2003.

M.Phil.Considerable research on public policymaking has been carried out over the years. A number of theoretical frameworks have been developed to try to understand the complexities of the policy process. Nevertheless, the implementation of policy remains, as deLeon and deLeon (2001) state “the most devilish of wicked problems”. It is this wicked problem that this thesis attempts to comprehend a little better in the context of public transport. There is a broadly expressed belief in South Africa that while we have developed some fairly robust public transport policies, we fall down when it comes to the implementation of these policies. However, policies are not equally complex in nature and surely therefore not equally demanding in implementation. While it is accepted that a number of political, economic and social factors are necessary for policy implementation, it is nevertheless hypothesised that the nature and complexity of a policy will influence the paradigm within which implementation will take place. Furthermore, the ‘success’ of the implementation process needs to be located within the context of the specific implementation paradigm. The objective of this thesis has been to (i) identify and (ii) apply an appropriate policy implementation framework or model to the implementation of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) programme in South Africa to understand the BRT policy implementation process that has emerged thus far and whether its very nature and characteristics place it within a certain policy implementation paradigm.

Concerning about the climate change, the greenhouse effect and the global resource shortages, Taiwan has planned for e-bus many years and they are now operating e-bus for mass transportation. Taiwan has some experiences and advantages when joining this new industry. However, any kind of new technology is always accompanied with many potential risks which might cause loss to enterprises if occur. For this reason, we conducted a qualitative research and some individual depth interviews (IDIs) with experts working in areas relating to e-bus industry in Taiwan to identify the kinds of operational risk might happen for e-bus in Taiwan and prepare some risk response strategies for these kinds of risks. A Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method was then employed to assess the weight of the operational risk response strategies in their complex relationships to determine the priority risk response strategies. The results of our empirical study show that battery financing services, providing subsidies and tax incentives for buying e-bus, strategic alliances, issue relevant laws and regulations of carbon dioxide emissions for mass transportation industry are the key strategies that e-bus companies in Taiwan should take to response to risks in operations. Moreover, we also highly suggest Taiwan to take advantage of their strength in IT to create the value chains for e-bus transportation companies in Taiwan which might help Taiwan have sustainable competitive advantage and strategic competitiveness in e-bus industry and stay ahead their rivals in competitive dynamics.

In recent years, intercity transportation demand of western corridor increases in Taiwan. After the high speed rail starting the service, the competition among air transportation, freeway coach, railroad and high speed rail become keener. In the study, a forecasting model, which is based on the gray Lotka-Volterra model is proposed to forecast the passenger volumes of the four intercity public transportation systems and analyze the cooperative and competitive relationship between them. According to the gray system theory, the passenger volumes should be transformed by Accumulated Generating Operating (AGO) firstly, and then be substituted into Lotka-Volterra model. In addition, external effects are considered. From the results, the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of the predictions are smaller than 5% except one of them. Thus, the model proposed in this study can be applied to forecast passenger volumes of public intercity transportation systems successfully.

Highway Bus –Evidence from Passenger Transportation Industry originally undertook the major transportation role in term of economic development, industrial construction and public daily life in Taiwan. However, the operational performance was diluted by increasing operators with the policy of more opening routes of the government. Moreover, following the domestic economic growth, the national increases and people are more capable to purchase private vehicles which result in rapid growth of domestic vehicles and motorcycles and the buses are no longer the only choice for public. Accordingly, the passenger occupancy rate is bad and the operational performance is getting worse. Notwithstanding that the operators replace the old vehicles and improve the service quality, the operators still get worsen financial structure and are commonly in loss due to high diesel and labor costs under surging international oil price and rising labor consciousness while the key of survival, the ticket prices, are subject to the governmental policy of low price under pressure of public opinions. Though the government has implemented “Enhancement of Mass Transportation” and prepared the budget to subsidy operators which run the remote routes that may slightly improve the operational difficulties sine 1996, the governmental subsidy is not full compensation and only can manage the symptom and not the long-term policy of the government. The study considers that governmental subsidy cannot change the fact of operational losses and operators should adopt good consolidation through business acquisition strategies to reduce the worse operators to reverse the malicious market competition and enhance the operational efficiency. It is proved by this research that passenger transportation business may enhance the operational efficiency, maintain market competitiveness to earn extra benefits, expand operational regions, create new opportunism for business and promote the position in industry through applying acquisition strategies.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed at examining the social and economic effects of the Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transit system (BRT) on various stakeholders in Johannesburg. The objective of the study was to investigate the effect the Rea Vaya has had on users and non-users of the Rea Vaya system. The findings of this study suggest that the Rea Vaya is beneficial in that it provides an option in modes of transport for commuters, particularly for people who were historically disadvantaged and were not permitted to reside in the city during the apartheid era.
BRT systems are designed to provide a safe, reliable and accessible public transport system. The Rea Vaya system is aimed at providing better public transport, reducing congestion, on public roads, improving the roads and creating jobs. The findings have shown that the Rea Vaya has not been successful in meeting all its aims. The Rea Vaya has not managed to provide an accessible transport system thus far. Traffic in the inner city has not been reduced as a modal shift has not yet occurred.
Since the inception of the Rea Vaya system there has been resistance from the Taxi Industry. Despite negotiations and attempts made by the Municipality of the City of Johannesburg to include the Taxi Industry in the Rea Vaya system, by making them shareholders of the system, the findings presented affirms that there is still resentment and resistance from the Taxi Industry towards the Rea Vaya system. The loss of revenue since the introduction of the Rea Vaya has caused a challenge for Taxi owners. Not only is it alleged that the Rea Vaya has affected the Taxi Industry, but the Rea Vaya infrastructure has caused a number of problems for private car users in the City.
Private car users are inconvenienced by the designated bus lanes and lack of road signage in the city. These conclusions affirm that the Rea Vaya is not beneficial to all stakeholders in the City of Johannesburg. The experiences and opinions of users and non-users suggest that the system has a number of deficiencies. However some users of the system have benefited socially and economically. For some of the users the Rea Vaya has created a few opportunities; however the poor customer service from bus drivers and station staff was seen as a setback.
Transit Orientated development in Johannesburg has not yet taken off. The government’s attempts to create mixed land use through the implementation of corridors of freedom are in its infant stages. Businesses across the Rea Vaya station found the Rea Vaya to have both positive and negative effects on their businesses. Some businesses found that the development of stations have added aesthetic value, however due to the frequency of Rea Vaya buses at stations, commuters would not wait for long periods of time and this resulted in fewer customers for businesses across the Rea Vaya station.
The Rea Vaya system has provided a safe and reliable transport system in Johannesburg. However, the system is in its infant stages and has a number of deficiencies as presented in the findings of this study.Geography
