| 摘要： | Bus headway in a rural area is usually much larger than that in an urban area. Providing real-time bus arrival information could make the public transit system more user-friendly and thus enhance its competitiveness among various thansportation modes. As part of an operational test for rural traveler information systems currently ongoing in Blacksburg, Virginia, an experimental study has been conducted on forecasting the arrival time of the next bus with AVL techniques. This paper discusses the process of developing arrival time estimation algorithms, including route representation, GPS data screening for identifying data quality and delay patterns, algorithm formulation, and the development of measures of performance. Whereas GPS-based bus location data are adopted in all four algorithms presented in the paper, the extent to which other information is used in these algorithms varies. In addition to bus location data, information relevant to the performance of an algorithm also includes scheduled arrival time, delay correlation, and waiting time at time-check slops. The performance of an algorithm using different levels of information is compared against three criteria: overall precision, robustness, and stability. Our results show that at the site where the study is being conducted, the dwell time at time-check stops is most relevant to the performation of an algorithm. |
