摘要：	A reasonable method for estimating alighting stops can provide a data guarantee for schedule design and vehicle scheduling. However, few studies, to our best knowledge, have addressed this problem using the variable distance threshold for different types of passengers. This paper is based on available smart card data, and a two-stage algorithm is designed to obtain missing alighting stations in the entry-only urban public transportation system. This algorithm divides passengers into seven types, determines varying distance thresholds for different passengers, and includes five assumptions. Based on the first three assumptions, the corresponding subalgorithms are designed, respectively, constituting the first-stage algorithm, and the first match for all passengers' alighting stations is carried out. The second-stage algorithm is designed on the basis of the latter two assumptions. A secondary match is conducted on data that were not successfully matched in the first stage to ensure that alighting stops for all passengers are identified. The proposed methods are verified using urban public transport data from the city of Zhuhai as an example. Research results show that the drop-off stops where approximately 74% of passengers can be determined after matching the first-stage algorithm. The distance thresholds for various passengers are different, and the distance thresholds for the same type of passengers over different days are also different. Compared with the traditional fixed distance threshold, the variable distance threshold for various passengers proposed in this paper can improve the match rate of alighting station estimate, about 9%. By appropriately extending the distance thresholds for different passengers, the match rate for passengers who work or live in the suburbs can be further improved, which is in line with the actual travel status of such passengers. The second-stage algorithm can identify alighting sites for a single or unlinked trip. The efficiency of the methodology proposed in this study can meet the needs for practical applications, which may be applied to urban public transport systems.
