A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fonzone, A., Schmöcker, J.-D., & Liu, R. (2015, August). A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns. Presented at 21st International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory, Kobe, Japan

If bus service departure times are not completely unknown to the passengers, non-uniform passenger arrival patterns can be expected. We propose that passengers decide their arrival time at stops based on a continuous logit model that considers the ri...

Why Sweden has the highest public transport mode share in western Europe and what Scotland might be able to learn from this (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rye, T. (2015, May). Why Sweden has the highest public transport mode share in western Europe and what Scotland might be able to learn from this. Paper presented at Scottish Transport Applications and Research Conference

This paper first carries out some comparative analysis of travel survey data from different EU countries that collect such data, and in particular at the share of trips made by public transport. This analysis reveals that Sweden has the highest shar... Read More about Why Sweden has the highest public transport mode share in western Europe and what Scotland might be able to learn from this.
