Abstract EN
This study proposed a two-dimensional index system which is concerned essentially with urban travel based on travel modes and user satisfaction.
First, the public transit was taken as an example to describe the index system establishing process.
In consideration of convenience, rapid, reliability, comfort, and safety, a bus service evaluation index system was established.
The indicators include the N-minute coverage of bus stops, average travel speed, and fluctuation of travel time between stops and bus load factor which could intuitively describe the characteristics of public transport selected to calculate bus travel indexes.
Then, combined with the basic indicators, the calculation models of Convenience Index (CI), Rapid Index (RI), Reliability Index (RBI), and Comfort Index (CTI) were established based on the multisource data of public transit including the real-time bus GPS data and passenger IC card data.
Finally, a case study of Beijing bus operation evaluation and analysis was conducted by taking real bus operation data including GPS data and passenger transaction recorder (IC card data).
The results showed that the operation condition of the public transit was well reflected and scientifically classified by the bus travel index models.
