Abstract:

Istanbul´s smart card fare collection system generates large amounts of operational data from the BRT-Bus Rapid Transit line. In addition to ridership, it captures system-wide transaction data and provides comprehensive data records on usage. Processing and analysis of these data open new opportunities in transportation and travel behavior research. This paper presents a qualitative analysis of smart card (Istanbulkart) activity for the BRT-Bus Rapid Transit and investigates its potential for understanding complexities of the system and characterizing travel behavior. In this paper, an assessment of spatial and temporal travel behavior of commuters including mode choice, travel, and waiting times, is performed. As a result of this qualitative analysis an evaluation of the automated fare collection system with some recommendations for improving the planning and management of the BRT-Bus Rapid Transit line are also provided.
