Dynamic at-stop real-time information displays for public transport: effects on customers

-The paper presents the first results of a research aiming to develop a transit trip planner to support the user with personalized pre-trip information. The first part describes the user needs and the architecture of the system. The second part deals with the modeling framework implemented to provide the best path alternatives from the traveler's utility point of view according to real-time data and personal user preferences. Finally, considerations on operative aspects based on some experimental evidences are presented.

“…Kronborg et al (2002) found that although travelers using RTTI still overestimated their wait time (9-13%), those without arrival infor-mation perceived wait time even longer (overestimating 24-30%). Further studies in London and the Netherlands found that providing RTTI reduced the perception of wait time by 26 percent (Schweiger 2003) and 20 percent (Dziekan and Kottenhoff 2007), respectively. While these studies identify a range of overestimation for urban transit riders, none focuses on the unique population of a college campus.…”

“…Instead, the benefits were taken from the reduction of passenger anxiety/utility, reducing the uncertainty and thus the utility of the time, while awaiting a bus. Various studies have confirmed that travelers are uneasy waiting for buses and perceive time to be longer than it actually is (Dziekan and Kottenhoff 2007;Schweiger 2003;Nijkamp et al 1996). One study on a college campus was the most applicable to the study site, finding that awaiting passengers perceived their wait time 15 percent higher than it actually was (Mishalani et al 2006).…”

Abstract. Mobility and accessibility are crucial indicators of urban development. Public transport in the urban areas came into existence to fulfil transportation needs as well as mobility and accessibility demands. Ridership can be affected by the quality and quantity of transit service. However, technical improvements are needed for such as real-time bus information, controlling run time and headway delay. Thus, this paper is aimed to carry out a preliminary survey to determine the problems of school shuttle bus that faced by the students in a selected educational institution, their perceptions of using shuttle bus tracking and information mobile application and impacts of real-time information of public transits on bus ridership and towards smart mobility solutions. Efficient public transportation system needs further investigation about the role of mobile application for the bus tracking system in supporting smart mobility actions and real-time information. The proposed application also provides a smart solution for the management of public infrastructures and urban facilities in Malaysia in future. Eventually, this study opens an opportunity to improve Malaysian quality of life on the public value that created for the city as a whole.
