Abstract
Transit networks in the real world are similar to
data transfer across a computer network. In this paper, we
present the similarity and differences between computer
networks and transit networks. We have developed a
passenger-flow simulation model and we tested the effects of
transit services provided on passengers in term of delay and
passenger quality of service. We present the passenger’s
behavior at bus stops, factors that affect passenger’s
interactions with buses, and the performance of buses. The
objective of this research is to provide operators with improved
metrics and better tools to manage the public transit network.
In this paper, the overall transit network performance has been
evaluated and summarized.
