- Abstract:
- As an essential component of bus dwelling time, passenger boarding time has a significant impact on bus running reliability and service quality. In order to understand the passengers’ boarding process and mitigate passenger boarding time, a regression analysis framework is proposed to capture the difference and influential factors of boarding time for adult and elderly passengers based on smart card data from Changzhou. Boarding gap, the time difference between two consecutive smart card tapping records, is calculated to approximate passenger boarding time. Analysis of variance is applied to identify whether the difference in boarding time between adults and seniors is statistically significant. The multivariate regression modeling approach is implemented to analyze the influences of passenger types, marginal effects of each additional boarding passenger and bus floor types on the total boarding time at each stop. Results show that a constant difference exists in boarding time between adults and seniors even without considering the specific bus characteristics. The average passenger boarding time decreases when the number of passenger increases. The existence of two entrance steps delays the boarding process, especially for elderly passengers.
- 作为公交停车时间的重要组成, 乘客上车时间对公交运行可靠性及公交服务水平具有重大影响.为研究老年乘客与成年乘客上车时间差异以及影响上车时间长短的因素, 进而更好地理解乘客上车行为过程、减少乘客上车所花时间, 提出了一种乘客上车时间回归分析模型.通过计算常州公交IC刷卡连续记录之间的时间差, 得到了每位乘客上车时间的估计值, 定义为上车时间间隔.然后, 利用方差分析验证2种乘客的上车时间间隔是否存在显著差异, 最后, 建立回归模型分析乘客类型、每多一位乘客带来的边际效益及上车踏板数量对总上车时间的影响.研究结果表明, 即使不考虑公交车型特征, 普通成年乘客与老年乘客的上车时间间隔也存在一定差异;每一车次乘客平均上车时间随乘客数量的增加而减少;公交上车踏板数量越多, 乘客尤其是老年乘客上车所花的时间越长.
