| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study is to
develop a performance measurement
framework for measuring bus transport
reliability at bus stops. For this, time
keepers’ records at bus stop level have
been collected. They consist of four factors,
i.e. scheduled arrival, actual arrival,
scheduled departure and actual departure.
From these data, scheduled headway and
actual headway were calculated. A measure
on perceived waiting time (PWT) was
developed as the difference between actual
headway and a half of the average schedule
headway for the particular time period. The
performance measure was validated for 3
bus stops. Earliness index was developed
as the number of observations, which was
where the PWT was lesser than half of the
average schedule headway. This Earliness
index was validated for 3 bus stop records,
and it was observed that along with the
changes in the scheduled headway in time
duration, the EI value is also changed. This
measure helps for policy makers to decide
on the reliability of public transport at bus
stops. | en_US |
