摘要: |
Automatic Passenger Counter (APC) systems have been implemented in various public transit systems to obtain various types of real-time information such as vehicle locations, travel times, and occupancies. Such information has great potential as input data for a variety of applications including performance evaluation, operations management, and service planning. In this study, a dynamic model for predicting bus arrival times is developed using data collected by a real-world APC system. The model consists of two major elements. The first one is an artificial neural network model for predicting bus travel time between time points for a trip occurring at given time-of-day, day-of-week, and weather condition. The second one is a Kalman filter based dynamic algorithm to adjust the arrival time prediction using up-to-the-minute bus location (operational) information. Test runs show that the developed model is quite powerful in dealing with variations in bus arrival times along the service route. |
