Research on Evaluation Method for the Service Quality of Public Transport Based on Time Reliability Degree

Abstract

Devoting major efforts to developing public transport and practicing public traffic priority has been one of the important approaches to solve traffic problems. In order to evaluate the quality of public transport services quickly and accurately, time reliability degree is taken as evaluation index. The time reliability degree of the bus line can be got through the computation of the reliability degree of running and waiting time. In the end, the bus line of K362 inChangchuncity is taken as an example to show the evaluation process. The evaluation theory and method of public transport system is perfected by the result.

An Optimization Model for Port Service Network of Refrigerated Containers Based on Transportation Time Reliability

“…For example, Chang J. S. [7] defined time reliability as the difference between actual arrival time and schedule time, Liang C. Y. [8] established the time reliability calculation model from two aspects of the running time and the waiting time, and Namazi-Rad M. R. [9] introduced time window to evaluate the reliability, Jong G. D. [10] took the method of preference survey to assess the transportation time reliability. The second aspect is the optimization problems constrained by time reliability.…”
