Algorithm of Estimating Alighting Bus Stops of Smart Card Passengers Based on Trip-Chain

Abstract:

In order to apply smart card data in decision-making of public transportation planning and management, the paper researched estimating method of alighting bus stops of smart card passengers. Based on Trip-chain thought, the paper presented estimation algorithm applying the three hypotheses of “Next Trip”, “Last Trip” and “Return Trip”. Then, the algorithm was tested and analyzed using large-scale actual data of Advanced Public Transportation Systems of Nanning City in China. The results show that Trip-chain Method can estimate majority of alighting bus stops.
