A Survey of Traditional and Customized Bus Transportation Planning Methodologies

Transportation planning is an area of public policy that is increasingly recognized for having a significant impact on human health and well-being. Passengers all across the world are choosing bus transit as one of the most cost-effective ways of transportation. The number of passengers who use this mode of transportation is steadily increasing. According to statistics, the bus was India's most popular mode of transportation in 2014. A bus was viewed as a mode of transportation by 66 percent of families in rural areas and 62 percent of households in urban areas. With increased demand, there is a concern about efficiently organizing this service. Because a lack of planning can generate major problems in the real world, such as traffic jams and high operating expenses, it is a source of concern for corporate and government entities who provide this service. In this paper, a review on various bus transit planning approaches and stages and methodologies used in each stage of the customized bus planning strategy is presented. This study will assist bus service organizing entities, whether private or public, in efficiently organizing bus service

They faced challenges such as insufficiency of facilities provided in schools and employers, personal skills, limited mode of transportation in rural areas, job choice, and too many expectations are required from them. Therefore, proactive recommendations are also made to the respective parties in order to be fully knowledgeable concerning what further supportive and accommodative actions need to be taken to aid those who are visually impaired for better employability and education.

Integration of Different Mobility Behaviors and Intermodal Trips in MATSim

MATSim is an open-source simulation framework for mesoscopic traffic simulations that has gained popularity in recent years. In this paper, we present a MATSim model for the city of Vienna, with a particular emphasis on the intermodal routing framework used to create agent trips, and the development of a utility function to specify different agents’ mode preferences. To create agent activity chains, we use mobility diaries from the national transportation survey in Austria and disaggregate the available geospatial information to best fit the reported travel times. The novelty of the intermodal framework is the ability to create trips that do not consist of only one mode of transportation, but to also include bicycle, car, and demand-responsive transport (e.g., cab, car sharing) trips in combination with public transportation. To represent the different mobility behaviors of agents, we divide the population into groups and assign them different utility functions for transportation modes according to their socio-demographic characteristics. After presenting the validation of the model, we discuss ways to improve the model.

Traffic Congestion and Efficient Ways to Deal with It in Tbilisi, Georgia

Traffic Congestion has become a new version of plague for urbanized areas. Massive breakthroughs in technology, increasing in production of motorized cars, global reduction in prices for automobiles and the rapid population growth in Tbilisi, Georgia has led to the urgence of complete rearrangement of transportation system in the city. As a post-Soviet Union country, Georgia has had rudiments like “Marshrutkas” (privately owned minibuses) as a primary mode of transportation. Serious research and actions started in 2019 when sustainable urban mobility plan was introduced in Tbilisi; which favors public transport and pedestrians. In the course of this project one of the main avenues was converted into complete street model and hourly parking was introduced in the city centers. However, the problem regarding traffic jams still stands. This paper contributes to analyzing current situation in Tbilisi and suggesting suitable solutions. It will cover how reversible lanes, road pricing, signalized Intersections, reserved bus lanes and parking can be adapted to Tbilisi in order to reduce traffic jams.

Mode Shifting Probability of Working People to Angkot: Is there Any Hope for Angkot to Survive in Bandung City?

Bandung is one of Indonesia’s major cities, holding a strategic position as the center of the Bandung Metropolitan Area. The most dominant paratransit with the widest coverage in Bandung City is the angkot, a small four-wheeled vehicle (minibus) that has been modified for use as public transportation. As it stands currently, however, this paratransit service is inadequate and unreliable, and it has pushed people to use private vehicles to support their daily commute, which causes traffic congestion to worsen. Workers are the biggest traffic-generating group in Bandung city. Their regular commute pattern as well as their large proportion in Bandung city’s population (47.78% of the total population in 2020) make this group an important determinant in Bandung City’s transportation. Shifting the workers’ mode of transportation from private to public transportation including the angkot is predicted to decrease traffic jams on some level. Through binary logistic regression, this study provides an analysis of mode shifting probability to the angkot, key factors that could be intervened to increase this shifting probability, as well as the extent to which intervention toward these factors will increase angkot usage so that it can provide a picture of future characteristics of the angkot in contrast to the current condition, should this transportation mode continue to run in the future. Based on the modeling result, the study identified four key variables that significantly influence mode shifting probability in Bandung City: 1) private vehicle ownership, 2) driving license ownership, 3) people’s perception of current transportation costs, and 4) people’s perception of the level of comfort provided by the mode of transportation. If in the future the angkot in Bandung City is improved with better comfort and affordability, approximately only 3.31% of workers will start using the angkot. This very low probability indicates that if in the future the government wants to shift working people from private vehicles to the angkot, then the angkot must be transformed. Abstrak. Bandung merupakan salah satu kota besar di Indonesia yang memiliki posisi strategis sebagai pusat kawasan metropolitan. Paratransit yang paling dominan dengan jangkauan terluas di Kota Bandung adalah angkot, kendaraan roda empat kecil (minibus) yang telah dimodifikasi untuk digunakan sebagai transportasi umum. Namun, layanan paratransit ini tidak memadai dan tidak dapat diandalkan sehingga mendorong orang untuk menggunakan kendaraan pribadi dalam mendukung perjalanan sehari-hari, yang menyebabkan kemacetan lalu lintas semakin parah. Pekerja merupakan kelompok penghasil lalu lintas terbesar di kota Bandung. Pola komuter yang teratur serta proporsi penduduk kota Bandung yang besar (47,78% dari total penduduk pada tahun 2020) menjadikan kelompok ini sebagai determinan penting dalam transportasi Kota Bandung. Pergeseran moda transportasi pekerja dari angkutan pribadi ke angkutan umum termasuk angkot diprediksi dapat mengurangi kemacetan di beberapa tingkatan. Melalui regresi logistik biner, penelitian ini memberikan analisis probabilitas perpindahan moda ke angkot, faktor-faktor kunci yang dapat diintervensi untuk meningkatkan probabilitas perpindahan tersebut, serta sejauh mana intervensi terhadap faktor-faktor tersebut akan meningkatkan penggunaan angkot sehingga dapat memberikan gambaran karakteristik angkot di masa depan yang kontras dengan kondisi saat ini, dalam kasus moda transportasi ini tetap berjalan di masa yang akan datang. Berdasarkan hasil pemodelan, penelitian ini mengidentifikasi empat variabel kunci yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap probabilitas perpindahan moda di Kota Bandung: 1) kepemilikan kendaraan pribadi, 2) kepemilikan SIM, 3) persepsi masyarakat terhadap biaya transportasi saat ini, dan 4) persepsi masyarakat terhadap tingkat kenyamanan yang diberikan oleh moda transportasi tersebut. Jika kedepannya angkot di Kota Bandung ditingkatkan dengan kenyamanan dan keterjangkauan yang lebih baik, kira-kira hanya 3,31% pekerja yang akan mulai menggunakan angkot. Probabilitas yang sangat rendah ini menunjukkan bahwa jika di masa depan pemerintah ingin memindahkan pekerja dari kendaraan pribadi ke angkot, maka angkot tersebut harus diubah. Kata kunci. Pergeseran moda, angkot, pekerja, logistik biner.

Comparative case control study on risk factors of Coronary Artery Disease among Sedentary and Heavy Workers

Introduction: Coronary artery disease is most common heart disease among people in this world. It is a preventable lifestyle disease. Certain life style changes will influence the risk factors of developing coronary artery disease in sedentary workers and heavy workers. Objectives: the primary objective of the study was to compare the risk factors of coronary artery disease among sedentary and heavy workers. Methodology: A quantitative approach and non-experimental comparative case control was adopted for the study. Total 120 samples (60 sedentary workers and 60 heavy workers) selected by convenient sampling technique. Data were collected by interview method using structured questionnaire method. The collected data were analyzed by frequency and percentage distribution. Results: The results showed that there was a significant association between the risk factors of CAD among sedentary workers such as BMI (χ2=8.58, p=0.014), types of work (χ2=45.50, p=0.001), age (χ2=18.99, p=0.001) and exercise (χ2=0.00, p=0.001). And there was a significant association between the risk factors of CAD in case among sedentary and heavy workers such as monthly family income (χ2=6.74, p=0.034), alcohol (χ2=12.43, p=0.006), coffee (χ2=19.47, p=0.001) and mode of transportation (χ2=34.35, p=0.001) and there was a significant association between the risk factors of CAD in control among sedentary and heavy workers such as BMI (χ2=19.36, p=0.001), alcohol (χ2=20.26, p=0.001), smoking (χ2=8.11, p=0.044), coffee (χ2=30.97, p=0.001), and mode of transportation (χ2=30.00, p=0.001). Conclusion: The study concluded that the risk factors of coronary artery disease is more common in sedentary workers than heavy workers. Being aware of the risk factors will help the peoples become aware of their chances of developing coronary artery disease and therefore will encourage them to adopt healthy lifestyle.

Analisa Performa K-Means dan DBSCAN dalam Clustering Minat Penggunaan Transportasi Umum

Public transportation is one of the important modes of transportation and is the backbone of transportation in Indonesia. The development of public transportation is also supported by the government, this government support is evident in the national policy, namely the National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN). Although public transportation is an effective mode of transportation, it also has obstacles in its development, namely how to meet customer desires in choosing a mode of transportation. There are several variables that are the focus of this research, namely age, gender, income, cost, speed, comfort, safety, efficiency and flexibility. The search for influential variables will use the K-Means and DBSCAN clustering algorithms, these two algorithms are also compared to their performance to find a better algorithm. The results of the Silhouette Coefficient show that DBSCAN has a better performance with a value of 0.99 than K-Means with a value of 0.86. The variables that affect the interest in using public transportation are the most important ones related to cost, speed, comfort, safety, efficiency and flexibility.

Environmental Features Supporting Non-transportation Walking in Older Dwellers in a Hilly Neighbourhood

Walking is the basic mode of transportation; however, it is also considered as a recreational and physical activity. For elderly people, non-transportation walking (NTW) is necessary to maintain a good health; thus, irrespective of topography, living in an environment conducive to NTW is essential for the ageing community. This case study explores the features of the physical environment supporting NTW in older people, living in a hilly Japanese neighbourhood. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 23 older participants, with 6 being in their seventies, 13 in their eighties, and 4 in their nineties. We investigated the destinations and routes of their outings for a week, as well as their perception of walkability. Thereafter, we analysed the location of the NTW and the rationale behind the location choice. Consequently, four groups of people were identified based on their walking location: those who walked within a 1 km radius zone (N=6), those who walked outside the zone (N=8), those who walked both within and outside the zone (N=3), and those who did not walk (N=6). Moreover, each group had varied expectations regarding the physical environment, which is determined by their motivations and physical conditions, relating to the land use of the location of NTW. This implies the necessity of target identification and a suitable environmental approach for the target to promote NTW among older people in a hilly residential neighbourhood, such as improving comfort and connectedness by installing rest spots for the within-and-outside the zone walking group.
