Predicting the use of public transportation: A case study from Putrajaya, Mal...UCSI University
Putrajaya is a new federal administrative capital of Malaysia which has been set to achieve a
70% share of all travels by public transport in the city area. However, the current modal split
between the public transport and private transport is 15:85. In order to understand travelers’
willingness to use the public transport, a conceptual model has been developed to determine
the factors that affect them to use the public transport instead of travelling in their own cars.
The conceptualized relationship model was analyzed and tested using an analytical technique,
known as the structural equation model (SEM). Various variables such as service quality,
environmental impact, attitude and behavior intention were used in the structural model. The
database consisted of a survey of 290 car users in the Putrajaya city and all of them are
workers working in Putrajaya. Results indicate that the service quality and attitude are found
to have positive effects on the behavioral intention of taking the public transport. Other than
this, this study also shows that the service quality and environmental impact have some
positive influences on the attitude in using the public transport. However, environmental
impact has no significant, positive and direct effect on behavioral intention. The results of this
study demonstrate that the model that was developed is useful in predicting the public transport and it could provide a more complete understanding of behavioral intention towards public transport use.

Sustainable Urban Transport Development by Applying a Fuzzy-AHP Model: A Case...BME
Sustainable development decisions generally require citizen participation in the decision process to avoid public resistance and objections in the long term. Because of the involvement of non-experts, the uncertainty of the decision is increased, and this must be considered in the decision-making process. This paper aims to introduce a sustainable urban transport development problem in which citizens are involved to allow them to express their preferences for improving certain elements of the public bus system. To mitigate the uncertainty of the non-expert evaluations, a fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model has been created and applied. Since the objective of the research is to provide a suitable framework for transport development tenders, only the criteria weights have to be determined; thus, an alternative level has not been applied. The model has been tested on the urban bus transport system of a large Turkish city: Mersin. Based on the application, citizen preference weights could be associated with certain elements of the supply quality; thus, government development source allocation decisions could be supported. The fuzzy-AHP model ensures that the final development implications will meet public demand for bus system improvement in the city.
As is the trend worldwide, India is undergoing rapid urbanization. This means not only that more people than ever before
will be living and working in cities, but also that more people and more goods will be making more and longer trips
in urban areas. The costs of increasing dependence on cars is resulting in expensive road building and maintenance,
clogged and congested roads, high levels of energy consumption along with its economic and environmental costs, worsening
air and noise pollution, traffic accidents and social inequities that arise when the poor find transportation services
increasingly unaffordable.
Planning for Metro Transit Transportation System a simplified Approach: A Cas...IJAEMSJORNAL
Currently Muscat the capital city of Oman is suffering from many traffic and transported related problems. Some of the serious concerns are high vehicle ownerships, low occupancy in personalized vehicles and poor patronization towards public transportation systems. Ruwi is the City center and a major Central Business District in Muscat. More than one million commuters daily visit Ruwi City center for their day to day business. The common transportation related problems often reported by the citizens at Ruwi CBD, are traffic congestion, over speeding of vehicles, inadequacy of parking places and pedestrian safety. All such problems can be eliminated by providing efficient public transportation system by restricting the entry of personal vehicles and para transit. In this technical paper, panning and designing of public transit facility by metro transport facility is attempted by capturing land use and travel information of daily commuters at Ruwi CBD area. An extensive literature review is carried for establishing the bench marking while planning metro transit system. For this the CBD area is cordoned and divided into traffic analysis zones based on the land use characteristics. Travel information of the commuter is estimated through interviewing them at the CBD entry gateway points and work locations. Land use characteristics are captured through reconnaissance of the area and random inspection of land parcels. Land use Information captured through the Google images and physical verification of data of the selected sample land parcels helped in estimation and characterization of the land use. Questionnaire survey at the activity centers helped in estimation of total trips attracted by the land uses. Travel characteristics, derived through the personal interviews of the commuters, facilitated for the estimation of total trips. Trip factors for different land uses are derived. Total trips generated are quantified and is used in planning of Metro Transit facility at the Ruwi city center. Commuter circulation pattern for the metro transit is also scheduled. Also it is proposed to carry extensive literature for establishing bench mark while planning the transit system.

The Prediction of Optimal Route of City Transportation Based on Passenger Occ...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Currently, the existence of city transport is increasingly eliminated by private vehicles such as
cars and motorcycles. This situation is further exacerbated by the behavior of city transport drivers who are
less discipline in driving, or in picking up and dropping off their passengers. The bad behavior is partly
caused by the low level of passenger occupancy. The drivers try to search for passengers as much as
possible but often ignore the traffic rules. To overcome this problem, an optimal transport route with high
passenger potential is required. Therefore, this study investigated the optimal route of city transport based
on the passenger occupancy rate in the city of Bandung as the case study. The method employed for
determining the optimal route is Genetic algorithm combined with Ordinary Kriging method used for the
process of passenger prediction and fitness calculation. The optimal routes are those with higher
occupancy rate. The analysis results showed that the use of the Genetic algorithm with a low number of
generations succeed in creating new optimal routes even though the increase is not too high the maximum
only reaches 4%.This result is certainly important enough to be used in making better public transport
routes.
Public Transportation is termed as providing regular and continuous conveyance to the people in the society. The primary mode of transportation in Indian is road. Nearly 80% of the people in Indian are depend on road ways. The State Government is the primary stakeholder in road Transportation Corporation. The fundamental objective of any RTC is to provide high quality service at economical rates. But most of RTC’s are collecting high fares and providing low quality service. In India 72 million people are travelling in road ways for their day today life. Even though there is a large scope of profits because of the demand, most of the state RTC’s are in losses. The losses are mainly because of unscientific resource allocation and huge investment.
Conceptual Cost Estimate of Libyan Highway Projects Using Artificial Neural N...IJERA Editor
It is well known that decisions at early stages of a construction project have great impact on subsequent project performance. Conceptual cost estimate is a challenging task that is done with limited information at the early stages of a project life where many factors affecting the project costs are still unknown. The objective of this paper is to support decision makers in predicting the conceptual cost of highway construction projects in Libya. Initially, the factors that significantly influence highway construction are identified. Then, an artificial neural network model is developed for predicting the cost. The network is trained and tested with a total of 67 projects historical data. Training of the model is administered via back-propagation algorithm. The model is coded ad implemented using MATLAB® to facilitate its use. An optimization module is also added to the Neural Network model with the objective of minimizing the error of the predicted cost. The model is then validated and the results show better predictions of conceptual cost of highway projects in Libya.

The Prediction of Optimal Route of City Transportation Based on Passenger Occ...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Currently, the existence of city transport is increasingly eliminated by private vehicles such as
cars and motorcycles. This situation is further exacerbated by the behavior of city transport drivers who are
less discipline in driving, or in picking up and dropping off their passengers. The bad behavior is partly
caused by the low level of passenger occupancy. The drivers try to search for passengers as much as
possible but often ignore the traffic rules. To overcome this problem, an optimal transport route with high
passenger potential is required. Therefore, this study investigated the optimal route of city transport based
on the passenger occupancy rate in the city of Bandung as the case study. The method employed for
determining the optimal route is Genetic algorithm combined with Ordinary Kriging method used for the
process of passenger prediction and fitness calculation. The optimal routes are those with higher
occupancy rate. The analysis results showed that the use of the Genetic algorithm with a low number of
generations succeed in creating new optimal routes even though the increase is not too high the maximum
only reaches 4%.This result is certainly important enough to be used in making better public transport
routes.
Public Transportation is termed as providing regular and continuous conveyance to the people in the society. The primary mode of transportation in Indian is road. Nearly 80% of the people in Indian are depend on road ways. The State Government is the primary stakeholder in road Transportation Corporation. The fundamental objective of any RTC is to provide high quality service at economical rates. But most of RTC’s are collecting high fares and providing low quality service. In India 72 million people are travelling in road ways for their day today life. Even though there is a large scope of profits because of the demand, most of the state RTC’s are in losses. The losses are mainly because of unscientific resource allocation and huge investment.
