And I really thank my co-advisor Mr. Fitsum Getachew (PhD candidate in Industrial Engineering stream, Addis Ababa University) for his timely, encouraging, genuine, valuable and unreserved support to come up with this thesis. I learnt a lot from him. I thank him for his friendly approach and dedicated effort in order to accomplish the thesis in this attractive way. Also, I would like to extend my gratitude to all ACBSE workers for their time, efforts, voluntariness and cooperation throughout the thesis work by availing themselves for an interview and provided very valuable information about the service process. Furthermore, I would like to forward a word of appreciation to the senior depots manager of ACBSE Mr. Melaku Kasaye who shared ideas and suggest the intervention areas with respect to the research intention. Dobosha Abbelti, 2017/2018 iii Analysis and Optimization of Passenger Waiting Time: In Case Anbessa City Bus ABSTRACT In public transportation providing the fast transport service is the main concern to satisfy the passenger demand. The bus service accessibility in response to the passenger demand is deferent from route to route. This deference resulted in short passengers waiting time for high frequency and long passengers waiting time for the route of low bus service frequency. The long passengers waiting time is one of the measure of poor public transit service quality. In this thesis mathematical modeling was developed based on the dynamic passengers demand and bus service operational constraint to optimize passengers waiting time at bus terminals of Addis Ababa city in case of Anbessa bus transport using the data collected during literature review, interview, field study and secondary data collected from ACBSE. Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programing MINLP and Mixed Integer Linear Programing MILP model were developed for static and dynamic passenger demand. The dynamic passenger demand was solved as Mixed Integer Linear Programing MILP model by discretizing the bus planning horizon into small time (in minutes) to linearize and make the model tractable to solve it using software. LINGO software was used to solve the model. The result was evaluated with bus headway, bus frequency and bus capacity. The evaluation shows that the overall average bus departure time reduction is 39.62% and 37.74% for DAF or rigid Bishoftu bus and articulated bus respectively. The improved average frequency for DAF or rigid and articulate bus is 62.44% and 60.67% of actual bus frequency. The total average passengers waiting time for the DAF and Bishoftu bus was 8.03% more than the passengers waiting time for articulated bus. The overall average passengers waiting time reduction is 39.62% and 37.74% for DAF or rigid Bishoftu bus and articulated bus respectively, through the proposed mathematical optimization models. Key words: Bus, Passengers Waiting Time, Passengers’ Arrival Rate, Bus Frequency, Bus Headway Dobosha Abbelti, 2017/2018 iv Analysis and Optimization of Passenger Waiting Time: In Case Anbessa City Bus TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION ...................................................................................................................

Phone: + 61 3 9905 5568, Fax: +61 3 9905 4944, Email: [email protected] Abstract Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems are an increasingly popular public transport option in Australia and internationally. They provide rail-like quality for bus services for a fraction of the cost of fixed rail. Many claims of high and increasing ridership have resulted from BRT system development; however it is unclear exactly which aspects of BRT system design drive this.

  • Busway Platform Bus Capacity Analysis
    Busway Platform Bus Capacity Analysis Sumeet Kumar Jaiswal B.E. (Civil), M. Tech (Transportation) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Urban Development Faculty of Built Environment & Engineering Queensland University of Technology December 2010 Dedicated to my dear sister Deepti Muley Keywords BRT, busway, capacity, lost time, crowd, transit, public transport, interface, dwell time. Sumeet Jaiswal Page i Abstract Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), because of its operational flexibility and simplicity, is rapidly gaining popularity with urban designers and transit planners. Earlier BRTs were bus shared lane or bus only lane, which share the roadway with general and other forms of traffic. In recent time, more sophisticated designs of BRT have emerged, such as busway, which has separate carriageway for buses and provides very high physical separation of buses from general traffic. Line capacities of a busway are predominately dependent on bus capacity of its stations. Despite new developments in BRT designs, the methodology of capacity analysis is still based on traditional principles of kerbside bus stop on bus only lane operations. Consequently, the tradition methodology lacks accounting for various dimensions of busway station operation, such as passenger crowd, passenger walking and bus lost time along the long busway station platform. This research has developed a purpose made bus capacity analysis methodology for busway station analysis. Extensive observations of kerbside bus stops and busway stations in Brisbane, Australia were made and differences in their operation were studied. A large scale data collection was conducted using the video recording technique at the Mater Hill Busway Station on the South East Busway in Brisbane.
