Development of a Mode Choice Model for Bus Rapid Transit in Santa Clara County, California Chun-Hung Peter Chen and George A. Naylor Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Abstract Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is an enhanced bus service that offers many of the same service attributes as rail transit, such as specialized vehicles, large stations, real-time passenger information, and more frequent and reliable operations. The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) intends to develop an integrated BRT net- work throughout Santa Clara County, California, to provide high quality service to areas not well served by the VTA Light Rail (LRT) system. Past research showed that many transit agencies in North America considered BRT the same as LRT in their demand models, and a few agencies treated BRT and local bus identically. Realistic BRT ridership forecasts are essential for selecting and sizing facilities, preparing ser- vice plans, estimating capital and operating costs, and assessing cost-effectiveness. This study applied the results of the transit preference survey in a Market Research Model prepared for the VTA and built the improved mode choice model that explic- itly included the BRT mode in the VTA demand model. Instead of considering BRT the same as either LRT or local bus, the improved VTA model with an explicit BRT mode is expected to forecast more reasonable future BRT boardings. Eleven scenarios in the BRT strategic plan for Santa Clara County were developed using the BRT fore- cast results from the improved VTA model. 1 Journal of Public Transportation, Vol. 14, No. 4, 2011 Introduction Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is an enhanced bus service that offers many of the same service attributes as rail transit, such as specialized vehicles, large stations, real-time passenger information, and more frequent and reliable operations. A more detailed definition developed by the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) as part of TCRP Report 90 (2003) is that “BRT is flexible, rubber-tired rapid transit mode that combines stations, vehicles services, running ways, and Intelligent Transporta- tion System (ITS) elements into an integrated system with a strong positive identity that evokes a unique image … In brief, BRT is an integrated system of facilities, services, and amenities that collectively improves the speed, reliability, and identity of bus transit.” Vuchic (2002) defined BRT based on combining mode performance (speed,

Some of them co-exist in other Slavic languages and it is diffi cult to decide whether they made English from Russian or, say, from Bul- garian. Some other words are borrowed or constructed from the classical an- cient languages, such as Latin or Greek. Still others are themselves borrowed from indigenous peoples that Russians have come into contact with in the Russian or Soviet territory.

The city serves as a commercial, cultural and educational hub for the entire region thus attracting significant number of pas- sengers entering the city on a daily base. The city of Vinnitsia is expecting to grow steadily with new projects rising up in the centre and in its district. The City Transport Strategy for 2016-2029 aims to facilitate this growth and pro- vide improved transit mobility. The strat- egy’s starting point is the adopted Urban Transport Strategy 2014, “Комплексна стратегія міського Vinnytsia Mayor транспорту і просторового розвитку”. During the strategy’s draft stage, we con- sulted with stakeholders to incorporate Morgunov Sergiy Anatolievich concepts and suggestion raised. The need to integrate and harmonize the public trans- port scheme and linking it city development was raised consistently thus standing in the heart of the strategy. The city has a long legacy of providing high quality electric public transport service. This strategy aims to leverage infrastruc-

  • What to Do with the Overpasses Constructed in the Urban Areas?
    What to do with the overpasses constructed in the urban areas? An alternative vision on the overhead pedestrian bridges constructed in the city of Baku, Azerbaijan. Bairam Akhundov Department of Geography, Stockholm University Master’s thesis in Human Geography (30 HE credits) MSc in Globalization, Environment and Social Change (120 credits) Spring term 2020 Supervisor: Ulf Jansson Abstract The overhead pedestrian bridges are usually built over the high-speed highway roads to allow pedestrians to cross such roads safely. The road traffic planners in Baku, Azerbaijan, construct such facilities within the urban areas trying to provide pedestrians with safe facilities for road crossing in conditions of rapidly growing motorization of the city. Despite the quite clear objective, the reliance on the overhead pedestrian bridges in the cities is usually associated with car-dependency and poor provision of all-accessible and safe facilities for non-motorized mobility. This study is normative in its nature and was designed based on a combination of the qualitative research traditions with some elements of quantitative methods. This research aims to understand the role and impacts of the overhead pedestrian bridges in the context of the city of Baku and suggest ways for improving transportation infrastructure. The research aim will be reached by answering the two research questions based on the results of the semi-structured interviews that were interpreted through the theoretical framework of transit-oriented development. The results identified the safety risks that still exist despite the presence of the overhead pedestrian bridges and demonstrated a considerable demand for at-grade road crossing in the city of Baku.
