Comparative Analysis on Bus Operation Duration Light and Rush Traffic Period

Abstract

Buses are the most widely used in transit technology today. Due to the limited other types of public transportation, passenger demand for using the bus network is higher. In fact, static structure and real operation of bus scheduling have some difference with each other, due to some cases, such as traffic congestion and accumulation of delays of buses missions. The most different on bus operation elements is duration rush traffic period that standard deviation is very far in compare by duration light traffic period. Proper Schedule of bus service is a main issue in reliability of bus operation. In the present paper we compare the different bus operation elements that obtained by questionnaire duration rush and light traffic period. Hence, a case study based on an actual public bus operation in Tehran, Iran is used to demonstrate the differences. Index Terms-Efficient bus lane, waiting time, average speed of bus operation, journey time.

Review on the Suitable Methods in Measuring Service Quality for Public Transportation

“…Most of driver which is 85% of have the same opinion that human errors being a major factor causing an accident. Meanwhile, Hafezi, Ismail, Al-Mansob, & Kohzadi Seifabad (2012) make a conclusion that during light traffic periods buses can follow their scheduling exactly, as there is no traffic congestion and demand is lower. Napiah & Yaakub (2010) used the concept on board method instead of off board method.…”

“…(Mohammed, Alelweet, Karim, & Shams, 2012). Hafezi, Ismail, Al-Mansob, & Kohzadi Seifabad (2012) investigates the research by developed questionnaire survey only. He argues that questionnaires are often the best way of gathering such information and views among the other methods.…”

“…(Kamaruddin, Osman, & Pei, 2012). Hafezi, Ismail, Al-Mansob, & Kohzadi Seifabad (2012) targets the number of participants are 382 peoples after calculate the sample size. A structure questionnaire with five point scale was used to describe the items listed in the dimensions ranging from "very strongly disagree" to "very strongly agree" for all the questions involved in the study.…”

Linear programming model for scheduling bus rapid transit in Lagos State, Nigeria

“…Their strategy also reduced total bus mission delays. Also, Hafezi et al [12] examined the various bus operation elements collected from the questionnaire for a rush and light traffic period.…”

An Overview of Urban Transport in Sana'a (Yemen)

“…In order to reduce these losses, it is required to create an efficient method to resolve traffic congestion and reduce the delay time (Hashimoto, 1990;Hafezi et al, 2012a). Vehicle fuel consumption increases approximately 30% under heavily congestion (Hafezi et al, 2012c;Ismail et al, 2012a). Jennifer and Oliver (1996) found that the availability of the pre-trip information to the driver enhances drivers' self-belief to use the best route and allow commuters to make better-informed transit choices Travelers information and guidance saves travel time and helps a traveler to avoid congestion on the other hand it can improve traffic network performance and it's more efficient than paper maps or written instruction (Ismail et al, 2012b, c, e).…”
