Abstract

The purpose of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of research focused on the routing of public transportation bus. In accordance with this purpose, a search conducted in the Web of Science database identified 233 publications meeting the specified criteria. Using the VOSviewer software, co-authorship analysis, citation analysis, and keyword analysis were performed on these 233 studies. According to the analysis results, Guan Wei was identified as the most productive author in the field of public transportation vehicle routing and China was being the leading country in terms of publication volume. The most frequently used keyword was determined to be "routing". Additionally, the journal with the highest number of publications in this field was “Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies,” while the most cited study was authored by Tong, Zhou, Liu, and Zhou (2017), receiving a total of 157 citations.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı toplu taşıma otobüsleri için rotalama yapan çalışmaların bibliyometrik analizini yapmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Web of Science veri tabanında yapılan araştırma sonucunda istenilen kriterlere sahip 233 tane yayına ulaşılmıştır. VOSviwer programı kullanılarak bu 233 çalışmaya ortak yazarlık analizi, atıf analizi ve anahtar kelime analizi yapılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre toplu taşıma araçlarının rotalanması ile ilgili en çok yayın yapan yazarın Guan Wei olduğu, en çok Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti’nin yayın yapıldığı ve en çok kullanılan anahtar kelimenin routing yani rotalama olduğu belirlenmiştir. En çok yayın yapılan derginin “Transportation Research Part C-Emerging Technologies” olduğu ve en çok atıf alan yayının ise Tong, Zhou, Liu ve Zhou (2017) tarafından yapıldığı ve çalışmanın toplamda 157 atıf aldığı tespit edilmiştir.
