Description
This research identifies highly congested areas in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) platforms and apply measures to improve Quality of Service and capacity. It developed a novel model that partitioned BRT platforms into cells and examined passenger activities to evaluate variation in area available per passenger across the platform. It was identified that areas available for stationary and circulating passengers in a platform cell differed significantly. BRT platform operation during the COVID-19 pandemic was evaluated. Significant variations exist in waiting passenger distributions between the Before COVID-19 and During COVID-19 cases.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
