ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CITY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

ONDERZOEK OPERATIONELE KENMERKEN VAN HET STEDELIJK KOLLEKTIEF OPENBAAR VERVOER

In the Laboratory for Traffic Analysis of the Technical University Delft a computer program was developed with which it is possible to evaluate and analyze and optimize measures for improving service and punctuality in the public transportation system. The relationship in the TRICOPT program package is illustrated in Appendix 1. The public transportation system RET (Rotterdamse Elektrische Tram = Rotterdam Electric Streetcar) had a data inventory of 124 trips on line 5 obtained from analyses on 26 and 27 October 1977. These data were used in a case study to test the programming of TRICOPT and to provide the transportation system with possibilities to improve service and punctuality.
