Abstract

Waiting time in public transportation is the one of the most important dimensions of the level of service perceived by the passengers. Excessive waiting times may turn into a utility function component that change the mode and route choices of passengers, especially for the urban bus transportation operated under the effect of traffic conditions. In this study, the waiting times in urban bus systems are predicted by using the effects of reliability and passenger information systems, together with the physical conditions of bus routes and stops. As the result of the constituted linear multiple regression models, it is found that the existence of passenger information system and reliability have reducing effect on waiting time as 2 and 1.3 minutes, respectively. Besides, it is concluded that the passenger information systems are more efficient if they are implemented for the stops conveniently used according to their geometry and the ones used by the lines coming from the city center.

Özet

Toplu ulaşımda bekleme süresi, yolcuların algıladığı hizmet seviyesinin en önemli boyutlarından biridir. Özellikle trafik koşullarının etkisi altında işletilen kent içi otobüs taşımacılığında aşırı bekleme süresi, yolcuların tür ve güzergâh seçimini değiştirebilecek bir fayda fonksiyonu bileşenine dönüşebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, kent içi otobüs taşımacılığında karşılaşılan bekleme süresi, hat ve durağa ait fiziksel koşulların yanı sıra, güvenilirlik ve yolcu bilgilendirme sistemlerinin etkisi de dikkate alınarak modellenmiştir. Oluşturulan doğrusal modeller sonucunda bilgilendirme sistemi varlığının bekleme süresini ortalama 2 dakika, güvenilirliğin ise ortalama 1,3 dakika kısaltıcı etkisi olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca yolcu bilgilendirme sistemlerinin, kent merkezinden gelen hatlar tarafından kullanılan ve geometrisine uygun kullanılan duraklarda uygulanmasının daha verimli olacağı sonucuna varılmıştır.
