2. 1. Public transport demand and supply management under uneven passenger distributions

   Author : Soumela Peftitsi; Erik Jenelius; Oded Cats; Achille Fonzone; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; public transport; uneven passenger distribution; transit assignment model; travel behavior; control measures; crowding information; skip-stop; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

   Abstract : Overcrowding in public transport (also known as public transportation, public transit, or transit) systems due to increased travel mobility has become a major problem for public transport operators. Overcrowded transit stations and vehicles are connected to travel time variability and greater discomfort for the passengers. READ MORE

4. 2. Passenger assessments of quality in local public transport- measurement, variability and planning implications

   Author : Helena Sjöstrand; Trafik och väg; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; passenger; public transport; quality; survey; Stated Preference; assessment; assignment; planning; Transportteknik; Transport technology; Road transport technology; Vägtransportteknik;

   Abstract : The aim of this work was to get a more detailed basis for planning of local public transport. With more knowledge of how segments of travellers assess different parts of a journey, bus routes can be planned to fit either all passengers or selected groups better. READ MORE

5. 3. Improving Travel Satisfaction with Public Transport

   Author : Roberto Fernández Abenoza; Yusak Octavius Susilo; Oded Cats; Lars E. Olsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Customer Satisfaction; Service Quality; Public Transport; Door-to-door journey; Trip legs; Multimodal trips; User profiles; Market segmentation; Geographical variations; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

   Abstract : The existing link between PT travelers’ satisfaction, ridership and loyalty prove the relevance of improving overall trip satisfaction. The thesis present an array of approaches and methodologies aiming at increasing overall satisfaction with PT door-to-door trips while covering important issues that previous research has failed to address.

6. 4. Steering green buses : The opportunities and challenges of introducing renewable fuel in public transport

   Author : Malin Aldenius; Miljö- och energisystem; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Public transport; Renewable fuel; Electric buses; Sustainable transport; Green public procurement; Environmental requirements;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to compare and analyse the introduction of renewable fuel in the public transport sector, focusing on the challenges and opportunities encountered by involved stakeholders on the regional and local levels. The results contribute to answering three research questions: 1) How do organisational factors and local and regional contextual factors influence the introduction of renewable fuel? 2) What are the challenges and opportunities of using green public procurement as a policy tool to introduce renewable fuel in the public transport sector? 3) How do the challenges and opportunities regarding the introduction of renewable fuel differ depending on the type of renewable fuel? Four papers are included in the thesis. READ MORE

7. 5. Dynamic Modelling of Transit Operations and Passenger Decisions
