8h00- 8h30: Welcome coffee

8h30-9h00: Introduction

9h00-10h30: SESSION I: DEMAND ESTIMATION – chair: Mark HICKMAN, University of Queensland

A common challenge with automated public transport data is that passenger movements are not explicitly or comprehensively described within these data. This session explores emerging methods to infer public transport demand from these data. The methods explored in this session include techniques to estimate passenger destinations, vehicle loads, origin-destination flows, and complete journeys on public transport. Moreover, the session highlights applications of these methods to large-scale transit systems.

15h30-16h00: coffee break

16h00-17h30: SESSION IV: TRAVEL TIME PREDICTIONS – chair: Nigel WILSON, MIT

Travel time is one of the key variables affecting service quality on public transport, as reflected both in concerns about the waiting time for service and the likelihood of arriving at the destination on time. This session deals with three aspects of travel time prediction with the use of automated data sources, all of which can contribute to better passenger information and operations plans,, and eventually help in improving the performance of many public transport systems. These three presentations deal with different aspects of the integrated public transport system, but make use of the most important automated data sources: AFC, AVL and load weigh systems.

TUESDAY 9

8h30-9h00: Welcome coffee

9h00-10h30: SESSION V: ROUTE CHOICE – chair: Jan-Dirk SCHMOECKER, Kyoto University

Predicting route choice of passengers is the core of any transit assignment approach. Smart card and other automated data allow us though in most cases no direct estimation of the routes taken since often only tap-on and tap-off are recorded (or only one of the two). Furthermore, in rail bound networks the tap-on and tap-off points are mostly not at the vehicle but at gates so that waiting time and travel times can not be distinguished but must be inferred. Finally, even if these problems are solved and interchange points would also be recorded, the effect of crowding and capacity constraints on route choice require a modelling approach to infer their importance. This session includes four papers that address these problems to advance our understanding of route choice estimation through automated data.

11h00-12h30: SESSION VI: NETWORKS ASSESSMENT – chair: Rabi MISHALANI, The Ohio State University

This session focuses on assessing transit networks from a variety of perspectives. In the first presentation, origin-destination matrices inferred from multi-day smart card data are used to evaluate a new public transport network aimed to reduce user cost while maintaining current operating costs. In the second, a new type of topological representation of transit networks that incorporates wait, transfer, and in-vehicle times derived from timetables is proposed and applied to several networks for a comparative analysis. In the third, an in-depth analysis and characterisation of travel time reliability is proposed and applied where the effects of travel time reliability on travellers’ mode choice decisions are analysed. In the fourth presentation, smart card and AVL data are used to study the impact of a new metro line on travel patterns, travel times, and reliability as experienced by passengers.
