Different indices have been proposed in the literature to characterize headway regularity. These metrics aggregate the headway variability for a service, but none can be directly associated with a specific driver. This ...

This paper explores new methods for regression models to understand the evolution of headway irregularity of public transport services. In particular, this article is structured around an urban bus service context. This ...

Emerging GPS devices enable new data collection opportunities for transit performance monitoring. In addition to the fact that GPS devices can replace labor-intensive survey techniques, they also collect traffic information ...

Public transport is affected by different types of randomness which impact the reliability they offer. The source of this randomness may come, for example, from casual uncertainty sources, such as accidents or protests, ...

Headway management can potentially reduce passenger waiting time and on-board crowding on high-frequency services. In this study, a headway control experiment was conducted and evaluated for Washington Metropolitan Area ...

Fleet control operation tools for high frequency bus service seek to maintain headway regularity between consecutive vehicles. Almost always, these tools suggest a series of control actions that must be executed by drivers ...
