Abstract

This study has examined the performance of University transport bus shuttle based on utilization using a Single-server queue system which occur if arrival and service rate is Poisson distributed (single queue) (M/M/1) queue. In the methodology, Single-server queue system was modelled based on Poisson Process with the introduction of Laplace Transform. Also, PASTA was introduced in queuing systems with Poisson arrivals. It is concluded that the performance of University transport bus shuttle is 93 percent which indicates a very good performance such that the supply of shuttle bus in FUTA is capable of meeting the demand. This study can be improved upon by examining the peak and off-peak period of traffic in the two major corridors (North gate and South gate) of FUTA, the economic cost of operating bus shuttle services can also be examined.

Highlights

  • The issues arising from transportation has continually subjected to various debates in the urban societies

  • Single server queue system was modelled based on Poisson Process with the introduction of Laplace Transform which was culled from Adeniran and Kanyio (2019)

  • The study finds that the performance of University transport bus shuttle is 96.6 percent which indicates a very good performance such that the supply of www.cribfb.com/journal/index.php/BJMSR Bangladesh Journal of Multidisciplinary Scientific Research Vol 1, No 2; 2019 shuttle bus in Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) is capable of meeting the demand

Summary

1.Introduction

The issues arising from transportation has continually subjected to various debates in the urban societies. Single server queue system was modelled based on Poisson Process with the introduction of Laplace Transform which was culled from Adeniran and Kanyio (2019). The study finds that the performance of University transport bus shuttle is 96.6 percent which indicates a very good performance such that the supply of www.cribfb.com/journal/index.php/BJMSR Bangladesh Journal of Multidisciplinary Scientific Research Vol 1, No 2; 2019 shuttle bus in FUTA is capable of meeting the demand This present study was conducted barely two weeks after the study of Sidiq was conducted, and will replicate the methodology of Sidiq as culled from Adeniran and Kanyio (2019). Apart from PP and LT, there is focus on the queue model itself (Adeniran and Kanyio, 2019)
