摘要: |
The estimation of the number of passenger boardings at every bus stop along an itinerary was solved using a Bayesian method. The method employs probability distributions of Wi-Fi probe requests. Any available technique capable of uniquely identifying probe requests made by onboard Wi-Fi devices can be used for obtaining the samples needed for the estimation. Probability distributions of time intervals between consecutive probe requests provide the information needed for generating the probability density function of boarding amounts at each stop. A case study of synthetic probe requests randomly generated for a bus line comprised of 17 stops indicated the adequacy of the method. Its efficacy increases with the grouping of nearby stops in boarding zones. It is straightforward to modify the method for the estimation of alightings, origin-destination matrixes, and bus loads. |
