Title:

The Method of Characterizing Passenger Congestion State in Bus Transit

Accession Number:

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

From the travel perception of bus passengers, the definition of passenger congestion (PC) in bus transit was proposed characterizing both time congestion and space congestion of passenger flow. Then theoretical calculation model of passenger congestion in bus transit was built based on interval. Moreover, the function relations among change of space congestion, time congestion and passenger congestion were concluded. In this paper, relevant influencing factors of PC state in bus transit were analyzed and the method for analysis and evaluation on effectiveness of improvement strategies was formed via sensitivity analysis on characteristic variables. Evaluation and supervision on operation service state of bus transit corridor are theoretically supported by research findings.
