When's the next bus coming? - TRITAPT management system for bus and tram services

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: With no hard data on route times to go on, bus companies find it impossible to optimise their timetables. The result is that buses arrive needlessly late, and in some cases even pass their stops ahead of schedule, which is even more frustrating to waiting passengers. "I was at the bus stop on time, but the bus had already left." Transport engineer Theo Muller and his colleague Peter Knoppers of TU Delft have developed a measuring and analysis system for bus trip times that makes it possible to optimise the timetable. Long-term field tests at Eindhoven prove that the system does indeed help bus drivers to stick to their schedule.
