A New Big Data Approach to Understanding General Traffic Impacts on Bus Passenger Delays
(Hindawi, 2023)[Abstract:] This paper presents a new method to quantify the potential user time savings if the urban bus is given preferential treatment, changing from mixed traffic to an exclusive bus lane, using a big data approach. ... -
A proposed new approach to light rail safety management in Spain and other countries
(Elsevier, 2019)[Abstract:] The light rail transit (LRT) has experienced considerable growth in Spain since 1994; to date, this has led to the installation of more than 200 km of light rail lines and LRT operations in 11 metropolitan ... -
A spatial statistical approach to estimate bus stop demand using GIS-processed data
(Elsevier, 2024)[Abstract:] This study integrates the fields of geography, urban transit planning, and statistical learning to develop a sophisticated methodology for predicting bus demand at the stop level. It uses a Generalized Additive ... -
Alicante light rail: improving the use of existing railway lines
(Sage, 2013)[Abstract:] The TRAM Metropolitano de Alicante (TRAM) is a unique metric (1,000 mm) gauge system that was born as the first Spanish tram-train, but later lost the tram-train characteristic of sharing the railway tracks ... -
Analysis of the Relationship between the Characteristics of the Areas of Influence of Bus Stops and the Decrease in Ridership during COVID-19 Lockdowns
(MDPI, 2022)[Abstract] This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of the areas of influence of bus stops and the decrease in ridership during COVID-19 lockdowns and subsequent initial reopening ... -
Análisis de la influencia de la reserva de plataforma en las operaciones de un sistema de autobús
(Universidad de Burgos, 2021)[Resumen:] La reducción del tiempo de viaje en transporte público y la mejora de su fiabilidad constituyen elementos fundamentales para la captación de usuarios no cautivos. Para alcanzar estos objetivos en sistemas de ... -
Análisis de la variación de la demora en parada en condiciones meterorológicas adversas
(Universidad de Burgos, 2021)[Resumen:] El Bus Lost Time (BLT) o tiempo perdido por el autobús se define como el tiempo transcurrido desde que el autobús abre las puertas hasta que embarca la primera persona. Este concepto se incluye en la tercera ... -
