Investigating the Potential of Data Science Methods for Sustainable Public Transport

The planning and implementation of public transport involves many data sources. These data sources in turn generate a high volume of data, in a wide variety of formats and data rates. This phenomenon is reinforced by the ongoing digitization of public transport; new data sources have continuously emerged in public transport in recent years and decades. This results in a great potential for the application and utilization of data science methods in public transport. Using big data methods and sources can, or in some cases already does, contribute to a better understanding and the further optimization of public transport networks, public transport service and public transport in general. This paper classifies data sources in the field of public transport and examines systematically for which use cases the data are used or can be used. These steps contribute by structuring ongoing discussions about the application of data science in the public transport domain and illustrate the potential of the application of data science for public transport. We present several use cases in which we applied data science methods, such as machine learning and visualization to public transport data. Several of these projects use data from automated passenger information systems, a data source that has not been widely studied to date. We report our findings for these use cases and discuss the lessons learned, to inform future research on these use cases and discuss their potential. This paper concludes with a summary of the typical problems that occur when dealing with big public transport data and a discussion of solutions for these problems. This discussion identifies future work and topics worth investigating for public transport companies as well as for researchers. Working on these topics will, in our opinion, support the improvement of public transport towards the efficiency and attractiveness that is needed for public transport to play its essential role in future sustainable mobility. The application of these methods in public transport requires the collaboration of domain experts with researchers and data scientists, calling for a mutual understanding. This paper also contributes to this understanding by providing an overview of the methods that are already used, potential new use cases, data sources, challenges and possible solutions.

Towards intelligent public transport systems in Smart Cities; Collaborative decisions to be made

The global context of cooperative intelligent public transport systems (C-ITS) in Smart Cities calls for a solution that integrates the perspectives of the travelers, public administration, vehicle manufacturers and transport operators in the joint effort of standardization, interconnection and assimilation of emerging technologies to meet operational, safety and environmental objectives at metropolitan, national or international level. The article proposes a definition for the capabilities maturity levels of the mobility ecosystem, and functional architecture for the collaborative decision-making system for implementing the C-ITS in the future Smart Cities. The paper contributes to the literature and practice in four manners. The first one is enhancing the awareness and understanding of maturity capability model (CMM) for all the stakeholders throughout the mobility ecosystem, emphasizing the key capabilities required for each maturity level. The second way is manifested throughout public and private companies acting on the same territory in the mobility ecosystem assess the existing capabilities and collaborate for achieving a superior maturity level of mobility processes, stable and repeatable results. In addition, the third one, based on CMM, is that governments regulate, conduct and control, establishing a stable and mature processes institutionalization for C-ITS. Finally, the fourth practice is defining a C-ITS functional architecture for the future Smart Cities to support collaborative decision-making applied for public transport implementation in big Smart Cities with the final objective of increasing the citizen’s quality of life.

Premises and Limitations of Free Public Transport Implementation

For many years issues of the free provision of transport services, including urban public transport, were outside the main trends of transport economics considerations. However, nowadays, the discussion is ongoing related to usefulness and limitations of the free urban public transport implementation. Protection of the city environment, reduction of personal cars traffic, and increased accessibility and mobility in cities are given as premises for such solution introduction. However, assessments of introduced solutions may not necessarily confirm the assumptions made. Financial problems and those in provision of services - characteristic of goods and services provided for free - add to that. The paper has undertaken the issue related to premises and limitations related to introduction of the fare free urban public transport in regard to the pursuit of effectiveness in the public management.

Abstract This paper deals with the integration of freight and passenger public transportation systems. The issues of determining the possibility and potential of combining transport with road transport for the carriage of goods of urban origin are examined. A mathematical model and parameters of the interaction between the operation of a freight tram and a car in a docking station is proposed. The overall scheme of research of using urban public transport for freight deliveries in the delivery system is presented. A detailed analysis of all stages of these schemes has been conducted. The technological features between transportation types and urban public transport for freight deliveries are highlighted. A basic freight transportation system using public transport has been developed. It has been found that it is expedient to attract urban public transport for freight transportation. The analysis of public transport implementation in Bratislava had been made. SWOT analysis was made on the results of this investigation. The results provide credibility for implementation this type of system.

Persepsi Wisatawan, Pelancong, Dan Masyarakat Lokal Terhadap Sistem Transportasi Umum Di Destinasi Wisata Pantai Kuta

Kuta Beach is known as tourist favourite attraction in Bali, it can be seen by the number of tourists visited Kuta Beach. However, the high level of tourists, travelers and local communities to Kuta Beach who use private vehicles create traffic jam at Kuta Beach. In this study aims to determine the perception of tourists, travelers and local communities if the implementation of public transport as a special means to Kuta Beach to reduce congestion caused by private vehicles.
 The research methodology used is quantitative method. With the technique of determining the number of samples using random sampling and quota sampling. In collecting the data using techniques study literature, observation, interviews, documentation, and distribution of the questionnaire to the 40 respondents. In a data analysis technique used descriptive qualitative method by utilizing the percentage of data.
 The results show the perception of tourists, travelers and local communities towards the implementation of transportation common in Kuta Beach, which answered agree as many as 16 people (40%) strongly agree 15 people (37.5%), undecided 5 people (12.5%), not agree 4 people (10%), strongly disagree 0 (0%). Thus the total percentage of the perception of tourists, travelers and local communities can be seen in the implementation of public transport in the Kuta Beach, the majority of local people answered agree but local communities said the hesitation and do not agree that the implementation of the proposal.

Considerations on free public transport implementation - based on Krakow case

New transport philosophy follows the equity criteria and should also lead toward sustainability and equity in building policies of public transport in cities. Implementation of free public transport for citizens is widely considered in different countries, cities and on several administrative government levels. However, there are not may examples of successful implementation if this concept in Europe. This work presents the discussion on multi-dimensional barriers, which make implementation of equity criteria to transport policies difficult. Both advantages and disadvantages of free of charge public transport system are presented, based on current discussions, as well as on some European examples, case studies and scientific evaluations. The case study simulation for the Krakow urban area is initiated and described, testing the effects of free of charge public transport on economic and mobility factors. Considerations presented in this work are based on current challenges to build green with multimodal transport, respecting factors of economy, traffic volumes, safety and environmental factors. It is predicted that success of free public transport for citizens could create a significant shift in travel demand from private car use toward trams and busses, reducing accident costs, decreasing congestion in city centers and limiting air pollution, contributing to social and economic growth of the whole metropolitan area.

Evaluation of Human-Oriented Transport in City Hall Transportation Projects Approach to Sustainable Case Study of the Kerman City Hall

In Iran, the implementation of public transport and non-motorized transport infrastructure warrants the need to allocate adequate funding from the state and city hall. In this regard, in city hall development plans (the format approved by the Ministry of Interior), urban transportation plan has been one of the ten chapters. The purpose of this paper is to survey the content and documents related to the allocation of funds to the traffic sector in the former development program of Kerman city hall and by the way, assess the role of human-oriented transportation among the plans and programs of Kerman city hall. Therefore, the amount of funds allocated to the transport sector in Kerman city hall development plans and programs has been investigated for a period of six years (2009-2014). Comparative analysis method is used for surveying the position and the importance of sustainable transport among planners and urban management. Kerman is the historical city and the most important city in the South East of Iran. Due to uncontrolled population growth in recent decades, a large number of cars added to its pathways, so it is required to have a plan of sustainable transportation programs to be evaluated traffic. Results of the analysis indicate that the budget allocated to the development of the vehicle-oriented transportation is much more than human-oriented transportation and in fact, human-oriented systems of transport such as walking and cycling are considered less than the others. Also in the old fabric of Kerman city that has formed on the basis of the human-oriented transportation, the lowest level of funding is intended to regulate transportation. With this description, it is clear that achieving sustainable development and human-oriented in urban transport sector, it fundamentally needs paradigm shift in urban transport development and revision in the attitudes of managers and planners, and in the meantime it is necessary to correct the programming cycle of urban development along with review of the allocating funds mechanism and to define projects in various sectors. Urban and transport planners can conduct municipalities projects with costing not too much and hereto provide non-motorized styles in the field of urban transport networks. If only allocated apart of the overall funding for roads, highways and city streets to the development of public transport and non-motorized transportation options, the impact would be very high.
