This book was released on 2013 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluation and improvement methods of bus transit system performance are an ongoing area of study and refinement within the transit industry. Capturing the full scope of system performance through differing metrics gives transit providers a clear picture of where the system is excelling, and where improvement is needed. Current performance metrics in use provide transit planners and managers with data in the areas of ridership, on-time performance, and cost. These measures are used in the industry to make necessary adjustments to bus service, including service levels and routing alignment based on performance data. However, the current performance measures and methods used by transit managers do not always provide the full scope of bus system or route level performance. The research presents a methodology for evaluating route performance through a scoring metric and specific ways to change bus routes, in order to improve performance. Using the defined methodology, two Fairfax Connector bus routes were identified as poor performers requiring route changes. The route changes following the methodology yield positive results for the routes. -- Abstract.
Book Synopsis A Computer-aided Method of Planning School Bus Routes by : Joseph P. Lowry
Download or read book A Computer-aided Method of Planning School Bus Routes written by Joseph P. Lowry and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A time-sharing computer package was developed to assist local administrators in planning school bus routes. Data about the students and roads in the district is first collected and coded. The planner then suggests and inputs one set of possible bus routes. The program computes various parameters of this system such as the number of students on each bus, the travel time and the number of miles driven while loaded and while unloaded, the longest and average times spent by students on each bus, and a representative cost of the route. These values are also added together to evaluate the entire system. After examining these results, the planner can easily change any number of routes, run the program again, and see the consequences of his alterations. Many alternative systems could be tried in a short period of time, and the most desirable one selected for implementation. A small model was set up and tested. The process is general and could be used by almost any district. Minor adjustments can easily be made to make the program more sensitive to local conditions and needs. In addition, both the student and road data could be expanded to permit additional use by the school and other local agencies. (Author).

Book excerpt: Provides updated information to the 1984 United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) report entitled Bus Service Evaluation Methods: A Review, however, the results are not directly comparable as the respondents, questions asked, and analytical procedures differ in the 1994 synthesis. It does report what agencies do in the area of bus route, not system, evaluation standards, and how they undertake these efforts.

Book excerpt: The problem considered in this thesis is bus routing in terms of route location choice in response to bus user markets in urban areas. Bus service sustainability which is under threat constitutes the study background. This study establishes a market-oriented bus routing strategy able to resolve the dilemma between the poor economic sustainability, societal demands and benefits from the services. Empirical bus routing practices are typically set in an operation-oriented bus routing framework. The major characteristic of the operation-orientation is the direct use of mathematical routing methods to minimise routing costs and so determine route location. A shortest route linking a route origin with a route destination is usually the outcome. The users residing within the service areas now bypassed by the direct route are ignored. This study suggests that this loss of bus patronage subsequently leading to poor economic sustainability is due to inappropriate geographical distribution of services, re-locating routes can influence the chances of travellers using bus services, and market-oriented bus routing can improve the service sustainability by linking where bus users want to go with where they come from. The bus routing strategy in terms of a market-oriented framework can be used for planning fixed bus routes where a number of criteria in addition to the usual operational constraints are considered. In particular, the market-orientation emphasises the study of bus user markets. A 'satisficing' or acceptable routing solution rather than a cost-optimal solution is sought. The `satisficing' solution derives from a trade-off or compromise among bus users needs and bus operators' requirements. The market-oricnted routing framework is based on theory from several disciplines. It adopts 'satisficing' theory in a geographical spatial environment and links route optimisation methodology from engineering and customer profiles from marketing. This study progresses research by these links. The three major aspects are: 1. Bus users are studied through the application of market analysis principles and techniques of and geographical market segmentation. 2. Mathematical routing methods for searching for a shortest path and a facility location are applied for laying out bus routes, guided by bus user markets and 'satisficing' principles. The facility model operates to find key user market locations, and the shortest path model operates to lay out a route passing through these key market locations. 3. The established Geographic Information System (GIS) works as an information platform for both organising the database and implementing the market analysis and the routing methods. The routing framework proposed in this study is examined in cases in Inner Western Sydney. The first part of the examination is the use of census data and home interview survey data to explore the characteristics of bus commuter markets and bus travels. The second part is the demonstration of the routing effectiveness in terms of market patronage potential increments within the service catchment areas of the routing alternatives. The Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat (SWOT) of the routing alternatives suggested in the case studies are analysed. The final routing alternatives show the characteristics of acceptable routing solutions and the application of the principle of compromise. They also show that the routing strategy has the elements of customer orientation in terms of residential socio-demographics and competitor orientation in terms of geographic locations in the market definition. Future study areas for bus routing include the incorporation of information on all travel purposes, the addition of specific information on road networks, the assistance to designing bus route networks, and the introduction of travel choice behaviour theory to study the compromise between users needs and operators requirements.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This proceedings volume consists of papers presented at the Sixth International Workshop on Computer-Aided Scheduling of Public Transpon, which was held at the Fund~lio Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon from July 6th to 9th, 1993. In the tradition of alternating Workshops between North America and Europe - Chicago (1975), Leeds (1980), Montreal (1983), Hamburg (1987) and again Montreal (1990), the European city of Lisbon was selected as the venue for the Workshop in 1993. As in earlier Workshops, the central theme dealt with vehicle and duty scheduling problems and the employment of operations-research-based software systems for operational planning in public transport. However, as was initiated in Hamburg in 1987, the scope of this Workshop was broadened to include topics in related fields. This fundamental alteration was an inevitable consequence of the growing demand over the last decade for solutions to the complete planning process in public transport through integrated systems. Therefore, the program of this workshop included sections which dealt with scheduling problems and computerized systems for operational planning as well as sections on network planning and data management.
Book Synopsis Bus Routing Algorithms by : Johnny Belcher
Download or read book Bus Routing Algorithms written by Johnny Belcher and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper proposes a mathematical model that delineates a feasible system of bus transportation for this multiple-school district. The model is composed of six elementary school districts which are part of the overall middle school and high school district. This proposal attempts to show Laurel district busing as a representative sample of what needs to be done in all six elementary districts. Final transportation routes from all six districts to the centrally located county Middle and High Schools are included and explained. Both elementary district and entire county algorithms are included. First, the population distribution was analyzed and bus stops were created for the sample Laurel district such that the average number of children per stop is maximized and each child walks no more than a predetermined distance. Next, the bus stops were grouped geographically into regions of roughly equivalent number of students, and the viable routes for each region were determined. Finally, these routes were sequenced by the implementation of the NCL (No Child Left at Bus Stop) algorithm created for the Madison County Schools. The algorithm has been created so that changes can be made to accommodate adjustments in parent and school board decisions.
