This paper is based on the analysis of websites of Urban Public Transport (UPT) made in different states. The paper proposes a standard of ‘minimal information websites content’ named as ‘Passenger Friendly Web’. Information content is divided into a set of elements. Their weights are determined by expert evaluation with the support of mathematics, especially of Saaty’s Method. Possibilities for future research are also regarded. Results can be applied to all Internet websites of UPT.
This paper is focused on timetable synchronization of urban, regional and long-distance public passenger transport subsystems in stochastic conditions. Proposed method is based on a mesoscopic simulation model. Model is applied within a process (method) leading to a robust timetable in the point of view of passengers changing e.g. from trains to buses of urban public transport. Solution is focused on specific condition -the case of relative long time headways between individual services of public transport like 30, 60 or 120 minutes, so that possible time loss can be serious. There are a number of such cases in reality. It is typical for small and medium sized cities or municipalities. Some lines with similar headway time can be found in large cities as well. Solution is illustrated by the case study focused on interchange node located in Žďár nad Sázavou (Czech Republic). Modified approach to generating of train input delays allowing to take overall operational situation on railway infrastructure into account (e.g. influence of construction works) is presented as well. This is compared to the way based on generation of delays in an individual way for individual trains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
