Analyzing trip situations of community bus passengers by LOS changes

サービス水準見直しによるコミュニティバス利用状況の変化分析

Passengers' consciousness and daily trips of "Kururin-bus" are investigated, which is a so-called community-bus operated in Nisshin city, Aichi prefecture. The number of passengers has recently been increasing every year, in which the ratio of high-frequency passengers becomes larger. In order to forecast the influence of change of the bus level of service (LOS) on passenger trips, frequency changes of bus uses by the LOS changes such as "fare", "the number of bus service" and "travel time" are analyzed based on a result of a questionnaire. The result shows the LOS changes in "number of bus service" and "travel time" affect the passengers' frequency changes more. By using the model describing the relationship between the LOS changes and the frequency change, frequency distributions of passengers and incomes of bus fare are forecasted when the fare or the number of bus service is changed.本研究では，愛知県日進市で運行されているコミュニティバス「くるりんばす」を対象に，利用実態・意識調査を実施した．「くるりんばす」は利用者数が年々増加しており，中でも利用頻度の高い利用者が多くなってきている．そこでバスのサービス水準の変化が利用者の利用頻度に及ぼす影響を予測するため，「運賃」，「運行間隔」，「移動時間」のサービス水準が変化することによる利用頻度の変化を，利用者意識の結果に基づいて分析した．その結果，「運行間隔」，「移動時間」に関するサービス水準が大きく影響があることがわかった．これらのサービス水準の変化と利用頻度の変化との関係をモデル化し，運賃もしくは運行間隔を変化させた時の利用頻度の分布と運賃収入を予測した．
