Abstract:
Urban public transportation is transportation system developed for the public interest that prioritizes the optimal integration of various resources and infrastructure in order to achieve sustainable city that is guided by green technology. The development of urban public transportation through scientific evolution that prioritizes the diversity of knowledge and technology as effort to create environmentally friendly city that is oriented towards sustainable development. Qualitative methods are applied in the analysis of themes studied by developing a meta-analysis. Primary data was obtained from the collection of scientific journals published from 1966 to 2020 as part the analysis of scientific literature. The results of study stated that there was significant increase in the number of papers and number of citations in last twenty years which indicated an improvement in knowledge development. There are several topics that have novelty that were found after an analysis on the theme of urban public transportation includes service quality, public space, transportation engineering, regulation, and bus rapid transit. For this reason, new topics found need to be followed up in further research in line with current technological developments.

Abstract:
Public participation for transit projects faces a number of unique challenges compared with many other similar public investments. For example, a smaller subset of the community uses transit on a daily basis as compared with highways; moreover, public transit is seen to be limited—both spatially and demographically—in its appeal. Combined, these factors can limit the widespread engagement of the public in the development and evaluation of transit projects. Further, given the lack of direct benefits from transit, it is often more difficult to garner public support for public transport projects. Specific considerations and techniques are demonstrated that can be undertaken by planners and policy makers to actively engage the community beyond those strongly in favor of or opposed to a transit project. Strategies employed in the Region of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, in the context of public engagement before the introduction of light-rail transit are explored. In light of these strategies and the experiences of planners in Waterloo and in conjunction with evidence from the literature, a number of conclusions are drawn regarding an effective framework for engaging a wide spectrum of community members in transit planning.

Abstract:
The Israeli Ministry of Transport initiated a project to restructure the bus network in the Metropolitan Tel Aviv, Israel, area, as part of a program to improve transit patronage. In addition to examining improvements in travel times, the project addressed ways to make the bus network easier to use. A study identified system legibility as a barrier to use. To evaluate alternative networks, a team of transportation planners developed a set of measures to evaluate the legibility of a transit network. The measures are a synthesis of common principles for city planning, transportation planning, and cognitive processes of wayfinding. These measures allow public transportation planners to evaluate the inherent legibility of various public transportation networks before the addition of navigational aids, such as maps, diagrams, signs, and others.

Abstract:
Providers of public transportation in the 1990s face serious challenges. They must use resources more efficiently than ever. With these challenges in mind, the Indiana Public Transportation Equipment and Facilities Management System (IPTMS) was created as a systematic process for providing information to make informed decisions about transit assets. The main function of the IPTMS is to act as an informational tool to evaluate the state of transit and the condition of transit assets to better plan for investment decisions. The framework and methodologies used in developing the IPTMS are described. This development consists of four parts: development of asset deterioration profiles and condition profile modeling, establishment of threshold performance indicator values, quantitative models that enable full usage of a comprehensive IPTMS prototype simulation model, and guidelines for updating and monitoring the management system. These guidelines will be useful for other agencies, at both the state and individual agency levels, that want to develop a PTMS.

Abstract:
Transportation planning and public policy can have profound effects on private-sector performance through investment policy, financing arrangements, tax policy, infrastructure improvement, and the like. However, with increasingly competitive and global markets, transportation public policy and planning should be based on market requirements for specific transportation capabilities and performance. On one level, deregulation and global competitiveness require cooperation and collaboration among all public and private policy actors and planners so that they all “row in the same direction.” On another level, deregulation and global competitiveness require that governmental transportation policy be market-driven, stressing capabilities and performance that are deemed most important by the private sector. The relative importance and availability of performance measures and capabilities are examined in three global regions: North America, Europe, and the Pacific Basin. The three regions are in remarkable agreement as to which performance capabilities are most important to a firm’s success. Transportation dependability and customer service are ranked at the top; low logistics cost and delivery flexibility are in the middle; and surprisingly, delivery speed is at the bottom. These findings have important implications for transportation public policy and planning in terms of linking policy with private-sector performance measurement. For example, it appears that transportation public policy and plans should stress reliability over speed in terms of setting priorities. Additional findings and recommendations for transportation planning, policy formulation, and data availability are discussed.

Public transportation agencies, much like other service industries, have a constant churn of their customer base. New customers are entering and current customers are defecting every day. Traditionally, efforts to increase this customer base have focused on attracting more first-time users. However, preventing the loss of customers to competitive modes, such as the auto, has many added benefits that are not often realized. Loyal customers provide recommendations to others, increase and diversify their use of the service, and do not require the acquisition costs associated with new customers. This study aims to develop a strategy to identify the key drivers of customer loyalty to public transportation agencies, using the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) as a case study. Once these influencing factors have been identified for the general population, loyalty differences between key market segments can be tested and analyzed. Based on these results, specific areas of service provision can be targeted for improvement and marketing campaigns can be developed so that customer segments can be targeted based on which areas are most important to them. Factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used to create a customer loyalty model for the CTA. Factors identified as contributing to a rider's loyalty were problem experience, perceptions of service quality', service value, perceptions of CTA, and customer satisfaction.
(cont.) The results for the general population showed that the average customer bases their decision to continue to use the service in the future fairly evenly on perceptions of service quality, service value, and customer satisfaction with the remaining two factors playing only indirect roles. The most important factor for a customer to recommend the service to others is their perceptions Qf service quality. The model results were then applied to key market segmentations (captive vs. choice riders, riders with low vs. high accessibility to transit, and bus riders vs. rail riders) using ANOVA, MIMIC, and multiple group analysis. It was found that captive riders are highly sensitive to problem experience; they report experiencing more problems and those problems more strongly influence the rest of the loyalty model. Riders with high accessibility generally rate all model factors higher than those with low accessibility and are, in turn, more loyal. Finally, bus riders' loyalty is more highly affected by their perceptions of service quality which could stem from the unpredictability of bus service resulting from exogenous factors. By developing a more thorough understanding of what keeps their customers coming back, public transportation agencies can more effectively use their limited resources by growing a base of loyal customers, and in turn, increasing their revenues.

Abstract:
A recurring issue is that of increased car dependence in major North American cities. Policy makers are challenged to find new and innovative solutions to counter the negative externalities of this personal vehicle dependence. For instance, the air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions resulting from private vehicular travel is of a particular concern for the health and safety of future generations. Moreover, the prevalence of sub-urban life in North American cities in the recent years has resulted in increased private vehicle usage while reducing public transportation systems usage. A well planned and efficient public transportation system can provide equitable service and accessibility to the population as well as contributing to the reduction of air pollution and GHG emissions. An effective solution lies in transit agencies and government implementing policies that maximize transit use and minimize car dependence. Not surprisingly, many urban regions are enhancing public transportation infrastructure to address the private vehicle use challenge. A number of research efforts have been focussing on understanding individual behavioral challenges in using transit while several other studies have examined the factors affecting transit operations. These studies provide important information to local agencies and transit agencies to enhance public transit services and operations. This thesis is a collection of three distinct studies, each relating to public transportation issues from different perspectives. The first study examines individual home to work/school commute patterns in Montreal, Canada with an emphasis on the transit mode of travel. The overarching theme of this research is to examine the effect of the performance of the public transportation system on commuter travel mode and transit route choice (for transit riders) in Montreal. We investigate two specific aspects of commute mode choice: (1) the factors that dissuade individuals from commuting by public transit and (2) the attributes that influence transit route choice decisions (for those individuals who commute by public transit). The second study is an effort to develop a framework for a better understanding of commuter train users' mode and station choice behavior. Typically, mode and station choice for commuter train users is modeled as a hierarchical choice with mode being considered as the first choice in the sequence. This research proposes a latent segmentation based approach to relax the hierarchy. In particular, this innovative approach simultaneously considers two segments of station and access mode choice behavior: Segment 1 - station first and mode second and Segment 2 – mode first and station second. The allocation to the two segments is achieved through a latent segmentation approach that determines the probability of assigning the individual to either of these segments as a function of socio-demographic variables, level of service (LOS) parameters, trip characteristics, land-use and built environment factors, and station characteristics. Finally, the third study draws attention to the spatial characteristics affecting transit ridership. An analysis of bus stop level boarding and alighting is undertaken by developing ordered response models of the bus stop specific boarding and alighting by time of day. The analysis quantifies the influence of various exogenous factors including public transit accessibility indices (number of bus/metro/train stops around each stop, length of bus/metro/train lines, length of exclusive bus lanes), infrastructure attributes (road length by functional classification, bike lane lengths, distance to central business district, CBD), and land use measures (number of parks and their areas, residential area, number of commerces and their area, government and institutional area, resource and industrial area, and population density).
Un obstacle récurrent est celui de la dépendance automobile. Les dirigeants ont le défi de trouver de nouvelles solutions et innovation afin de contrer les effets négatifs de cette dépendance. La pollution atmosphérique ainsi que les gaz à effet de serre (GES) provenant du haut taux d'utilisation automobile sont des enjeux importants pour la santé et sécurité des générations à suivre. De plus, l'expansion rapide des banlieues dans les villes nord-américaines encourage la surutilisation de l'automobile tout en diminuant l'usage du transport en commun. Un réseau efficace et une bonne planification d'un système de transport collectif peut offrir un service équitable et accessible à la population tout en contribuant à la diminution de la pollution atmosphérique et émissions de GES. Une piste intéressante en guise de solution est d'implanter des politiques vertes visant à augmenter l'achalandage du transport en commun et diminuer la dépendance automobile. Sans surprise, plusieurs régions métropolitaines cherchent à améliorer leur service et l'infrastructure du transport collectif afin d'offrir une alternative viable au transport privé. Une multitude d'étude cherchent à mieux comprendre les comportements individuels portant à l'utilisation du transport en commun tandis que d'autres se concentrent plutôt sur le côté opérationnel. Ces études sont d'une importance primordiale, puisque l'information obtenue peut être utilisée par les agences de transport pour optimiser leur service. Cette thèse est un recueil de trois études distinctes, dans laquelle le thème du transport en commun est abordé en différentes perspectives. La première étude examine les déplacements domicile-travail et domicile-école à Montréal, avec une emphase particulière sur le transport collectif. Le thème global de cette recherche est d'examiner l'effet de la performance du transport en commun sur le choix modal et choix de route (pour utilisateurs de transport en commun) d'un individu. Deux aspects du choix modal sont examinés : (1) les facteurs qui dissuadent un individu d'opter pour le transport collectif et (2) les caractéristiques qui influences le choix de la route empruntée (pour les déplacements en transport en commun). Ensuite, la deuxième étude vise à développer une structure ayant pour but de mieux comprendre le choix modal et le choix de gare pour les utilisateurs de trains de banlieues. Ces choix sont typiquement modélisés de manière hiérarchique, dans laquelle le mode d'accès se trouve à être le premier choix dans la séquence. Cette étude propose une approche basée sur la segmentation latente permettant une relaxation de cette hiérarchie. En fait, cette approche innovatrice prend en considération simultanément deux segments des choix de gare et mode d'accès : Segment 1- La gare est choisie avant le mode d'accès et Segment 2 – l'inverse. L'approche de segmentation latente permet détermine la probabilité d'appartenir à l'un ou l'autre des segments pour chaque individu en fonction de données sociodémographiques, du niveau de service du réseau, des caractéristiques de déplacements, des facteurs de l'aménagement de l'espace urbain ainsi que les particularités des gares. La troisième et dernière étude porte une attention particulière au lien entre l'espace urbain et l'achalandage. Une analyse des montées et des descentes à chaque arrêt d'autobus sur l'île de Montréal est effectuée à l'aide d'un modèle à réponse ordonnée pour différentes périodes de la journée. Cette analyse quantifie l'influence d'une multitude de facteurs exogènes autour de chaque arrêt, dont des indices d'accessibilité du transport collectif, l'infrastructure (présence d'autoroutes, artères et de piste cyclable ainsi que la distance au centre-ville) et l'aménagement urbain (nombre de parcs et leurs superficies, nombre de commerces et leurs superficies, les zones résidentielles, les zone industrielles et la densité de la population).

Boston Logan International Airport is the largest airport in New England and the 1 9 th busiest airport in the United States, serving 29.3 million passengers (arrivals and departures) in 2012. There are approximately 36,900 inbound air passenger trips and 9,000 inbound employee trips to Logan Airport daily. As a result of the limited parking supply at Logan Airport (parking is capped at 20,938 spaces by the Department of Environmental Protection's parking freeze), physical capacity constraints, limited roadway capacity and congestion on airport roadways, it is critical to improve public transportation to Logan Airport to increase the transit mode share. This study evaluates how public transportation to Logan Airport can be improved with particular consideration of travel demand market segments, the user friendliness of the services, the needs and jurisdiction of stakeholder agencies (Massport, the MBTA and MassDOT), existing transportation and land use plans within the study area and user and agency costs. A review of existing travel demand to Logan Airport and the operation of existing transit services is provided, leading to an assessment of potential improvements. The major potential areas of improvement analyzed in this paper are airport signage, wayfinding and curbside layout, Massport public transportation services (such as the airport shuttles and Logan Express bus service), potential new vehicle technologies for the Silver Line, operational improvements to the Silver Line, infrastructure improvements at D Street and the South Boston Transitway, and future transit connections to Worcester and Chelsea. The main areas where Massport, MassDOT and the MBTA should invest their resources in the short-term to improve public transportation to Logan Airport are: - Decreasing the running time of the Silver Line through operational improvements and infrastructure upgrades at D Street and the Transitway - Providing free outbound trips for the Silver Line, Blue Line and Logan Express - Improving the ease of transferring to transit at Logan Airport - Introducing new transit services to Chelsea and Worcester.

Abstract:
The quantity of cell phone applications or mobile apps have seen an upsurge at an exponential rate in under a decade. Many have been created for a variety of industries, including transportation. The advent and subsequent commercialized implementation of near-instant transport by a middleman-type of app is now known as a Transportation Network Company or TNC. Examples of the more renowned TNCs are Uber, Lyft and Sidecar. In recent years, TNCs have cultivated a tremendous following, to the degree of taxicab desertion. Moreover, the massive success of TNCs led to expansion of its capacities into public transportation. The TNC’s expeditious popularity has garnered the attention of government and transit agencies. Without fail, TNCs can complement, supplement or compete with transit. However, sparsely has there been any deep discussion about a TNC potentially supplanting transit. The aim of this paper is to show how TNCs could replace public transportation in the United States if subsidized at the same level of transit agencies. Austin, Texas was analyzed as the case study city. A comparison of subsidization between Austin’s transit agency: Cap Metro, the local TNCs, and on a national aggregate level was conducted. The evidence herein clearly shows that TNCs are highly competitive when in revenue service operating at full capacity, potentially replacing public transportation.

This thesis studies the integration of public transportation systems, focusing on the development of strategies to implement such goal for networks operated by different service agencies. A literature review on public transportation integration is initially presented, its main conclusion being that, even though many studies have identified a range of integration practices, only a few describe strategies to implement and materialize them in a multi agency context. The province of Gipuzkoa, in the Basque Country of Spain, is used as a case study to develop strategies which facilitate integration among different transit agencies. After describing the current services of the different agencies, two specific cases of integration are analyzed: fare integration between interurban and urban bus services in Donostia-San Sebastian and connectivity improvements between rail and bus services. The first case is analyzed quantitatively in great detail, given the availability of smartcard data describing the current utilization of the systems. This critical component of the work was possible thanks to the fare media integration agreement reached previously by the two agencies. The processing of the data on the use of the smartcard, reveals that not only transferring passengers are benefiting from the integration, which was the original intent of the agreement. In fact, regular urban passengers are also migrating to the interurban card due to a supposedly higher user convenience. Given the revenue sharing agreement subscribed by the two agencies, this migration implies unexpected high costs for the interurban agency. Since this agreement could obstruct further integration improvements, alternative agreements are proposed and evaluated. A recommendation is made for a new agreement that would lead to either reduced or free transfers without imposing high cost on either agency, while increasing their incentive to pursue further integration practices. In the second case, a connectivity improvement plan between rail and bus services is proposed. This plan prioritizes the available connectivity improvements not only according to their cost-benefit ratio, as the process regularly used by a single agency, but also with respect to whether the improvement could be implemented by a single agency or whether it requires inter agency negotiations. Further research on integration is proposed for Gipuzkoa based on the expected future integration of rail services into the current smartcard used in the bus system.

Adsit, Sarah E., Theodora Konstantinou, Konstantina Gkritza, and Jon D. Fricker. Public Acceptance of INDOT’s Traffic Engineering Treatments and Services. Purdue University, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5703/1288284317280.

Full text
Abstract:
As a public agency, interacting with and understanding the public’s perspective regarding agency activities is an important endeavor for the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). Although INDOT conducts a biennial customer satisfaction survey, it is occasionally necessary to capture public perception regarding more specific aspects of INDOT’s activities. In particular, INDOT needs an effective way to measure and track public opinions and awareness or understanding of a select set of its traffic engineering practices. To evaluate public acceptance of specific INDOT traffic engineering activities, a survey consisting of 1.000 adults residing within the State of Indiana was conducted. The survey population was representative in terms of age and gender of the state as of the 2010 U.S. Census. The survey was administered during the months of July and August 2020. Public awareness regarding emerging treatments not currently implemented in Indiana is low and opposition to the same new technologies is prominent. Older or female drivers are less likely to be aware of emerging treatments, and older drivers are more likely to oppose potential implementation of these treatments. Although roundabouts are commonplace in Indiana, multi-lane roundabouts remain controversial among the public. Regarding maintenance and protection of traffic during work zones and considering full or partial roadway closure, public preference is for partial closure; this preference is stronger in rural areas. The public equally agrees and disagrees that INDOT minimizes construction related traffic delays. Approximately 76% of Indiana drivers believe themselves to above average drivers, while an additional 23% believe themselves to be average. Driver perceptions of average highway speeds speed are not aligned with posted speed limit as the perceived average speed on Indiana’s urban freeways and rural and urban state highways is considerably higher than the actual speed limit.

Eastman, Brittany. Legal Issues Facing Automated Vehicles, Facial Recognition, and Privacy Rights. SAE International, July 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.4271/epr2022016.

Full text
Abstract:
Facial recognition software (FRS) is a form of biometric security that detects a face, analyzes it, converts it to data, and then matches it with images in a database. This technology is currently being used in vehicles for safety and convenience features, such as detecting driver fatigue, ensuring ride share drivers are wearing a face covering, or unlocking the vehicle. Public transportation hubs can also use FRS to identify missing persons, intercept domestic terrorism, deter theft, and achieve other security initiatives. However, biometric data is sensitive and there are numerous remaining questions about how to implement and regulate FRS in a way that maximizes its safety and security potential while simultaneously ensuring individual’s right to privacy, data security, and technology-based equality. Legal Issues Facing Automated Vehicles, Facial Recognition, and Individual Rights seeks to highlight the benefits of using FRS in public and private transportation technology and addresses some of the legitimate concerns regarding its use by private corporations and government entities, including law enforcement, in public transportation hubs and traffic stops. Constitutional questions, including First, Forth, and Ninth Amendment issues, also remain unanswered. FRS is now a permanent part of transportation technology and society; with meaningful legislation and conscious engineering, it can make future transportation safer and more convenient.

Abstract:
The connections between shared personal vehicles of individuals with disabilities (IWDs) and their household family members play an important role in the mobility, overall health, and well-being of all involved actors, yet this topic remains mostly overlooked within publicly available research. Families that include a non-driving IWD are more likely to be low-income, and often struggle with the costs of operating a family car but, due to insufficient public transportation options, they own vehicles despite their prohibitive cost. This exploratory study utilized the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) model, a framework focused on assessing the interplaying sociotechnical factors that contribute toward work-systems to gain a holistic understanding of the factors that influence household vehicles, safety, and a sense of well-being for non-driving IWDs and their household family members. A combined effort of surveys, interviews, qualitative coding, and statistical analysis (including one-way ANOVA) revealed a series of influential factors, including: (1) slow bureaucratic processes for vehicle funding; (2) error-prone modifications including lift and tie-downs; (3) miscommunications between IWDs and family members; and (4) residential area development and subsequent social support. Findings highlight the need for improved access to government funding, more reliable modification equipment, and interior vehicle designs that consider better social integration for IWDs.

Day, Christopher M., Hiromal Premachandra, and Darcy M. Bullock. Characterizing the Impacts of Phasing, Environment, and Temporal Factors on Pedestrian Demand at Traffic Signals. Purdue University, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.5703/1288284317352.

Full text
Abstract:
There is a need for more and higher quality data on pedestrian demand patterns for a number of applications in planning, transportation engineering, public health, and other areas. It is particularly desirable to better characterize the influence of daily, weekly, and annual variations; the impact of weather and special events; and the effects of changes in pedestrian phasing. This paper proposes and demonstrates a methodology for quantifying the relative demand for pedestrian service at a signalized intersection by using the percent of signal cycles per hour in which the pedestrian phase was actuated. Although this performance measure does not by itself provide a pedestrian count, it can be used as a surrogate to characterize how pedestrian volumes vary due to operating conditions. More importantly, since this technique does not require new sensors, the data can be collected at thousands of intersections across the nation where pedestrian push buttons are in use. This paper documents findings from over a year of data collection at a signalized intersection on a college campus. The effects of daily/weekly/annual variations, special events, weather (temperature and precipitation), seasonal changes in activity patterns, and changes in pedestrian signal phasing are documented. A Tobit model is used to account for the influences of these variables and understand how they co-influence pedestrian activity. The implementation of an exclusive pedestrian phase is associated with a 9% increase in pedestrian phase utilization at the intersection. This change is associated with a decrease in user cost relative to performing midblock crossings. The modeled impact of snowfall events adds further insight by showing that as the user cost of making midblock crossings increases, pedestrian activity at the intersection increases.
