FUTURE OF EVALUATING PUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICES
Abstract
One of the parts of sustainable mobility is surely the quality public transport service. It includes the suitable vehicles, as well as the stations, bus stops and various other integrated transfer points of the public transportation system. For the optimization of using these transfer points, as well as overall optimization of public transport services, it is necessary for us to obtain a traffic data in a real time. Nowadays it is not enough to know just the exact position of the vehicle on the map via GPS, with its travel speed and possible times of delays. At present the many various technical systems became more popular, e.g. the systems for automatic passenger counting. These systems record the real number of movement at the doors of a vehicle, which helps provider to know, how many passengers get on and get off the vehicle. However, these systems have undisputed benefit for the provider, the data are not available for the provider in real time, so their added value for operational traffic management is minimal. In our circumstances, it is not a habit to use these data even in the detection of inter-region relations. From the collected data is not obvious the beginning and the end of the journey of the passengers. The possibility of recording and evaluating this data could be useful for public transportation operators as well as the municipalities and cities on the side of a public transportation customers. It could be helpful not only for optimizing the effectiveness of using vehicles, transfer points, etc. but also for dealing with contractual relation between the transport operators and municipalities.
