MODERN METHODS FOR DETERMINING TRANSPORT REQUIREMENTS AND SCHEDULING PASSENGER SERVICES

The aim of this paper is to suggest ways and means for improving the existing methods of determining transport requirements and scheduling passenger services. From evaluation of passenger counts on individual routes, and more particularly the variation of passenger flow along the route at different times of day, it appears that these phenomena are governed by certain laws having an important bearing on timetable scheduling, especially for periods of anticipated variable passenger flow. The author has devised an original method of sample counting in order to determine certain values of passenger flow, as also a procedure for processing the counting data by computer. /GMRL/
