Abstract

Crowding in public transport is one of the reasons that nudges road users to shift from public transport to private modes of transport. To provide the passengers with a facility to plan their trips as per the dynamic crowding levels, this work proposes a framework for a passenger information system (PIS), in which the transit choices are differentiated with respect to crowding levels on the transit routes at different times of the day. A granular crowding prediction model is developed and integrated with PIS. In this, firstly, the transit segment relation (TSR) is constituted and used to make clusters based on the ridership index. Further, a time-series model is trained for each cluster using boarding TSR. A case study of Bhubaneswar, India, is presented, and three months of ticketing data are used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed prediction model. The prediction model is integrated into the PIS to expedite various route choices.
