摘要：	Real-time transit passenger information systems are intended to improve the level of service provided by transit agencies. Such systems provide real-time information on when buses on specified routes are expected to arrive to a bus stop. Although such information is assumed to be of benefit, methods for evaluating these benefits under various conditions are limited. This paper expands upon the functionality and application of an evaluation methodology recently developed by the authors. The methodology focuses on the potential benefits of bus arrival information systems to passengers waiting at bus stops under various supply and demand characteristics. Transit bus operations and passenger arrivals are modeled as a stochastic system where the operator uses real-time bus location data to provide to waiting passengers bus arrival time information that maximizes passengers' utilities. Simulation results reveal the nature of the dependence of the value of such information systems on the type of real-time data available to the operator, bus operations characteristics, and demand patterns. These results indicate that while the first two influence the value of information to passengers demand patterns do not have a significant impact.
