Introduction
• Reliability is a key factor• Arrival Time Estimation• Previous Research Review• Systematic Approach• Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) + Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII)
4
Bus Travel Time Analysis
• Link travel time• Intersection delay time• Stop dwell time • Time-point waiting time

Acceleration time TA = VC / a
Deceleration time TD = VC / d
Cruise time TC = (L – VC / 2a – VC / 2d) / VC
Link travel time TL = TA + TC + TD
VC : Cruise speed
a : Acceleration rated : Deceleration rate L : Link length
6
TR = ∑ TL + ∑ TI + ∑ TS + ∑ TW
TR : Route travel time
TL : Link travel time
TI : Intersection delay time
TS : Stop dwell time
TW : Time point waiting time
7
Passenger Travel Time Analysis
• Time to stop• Waiting time• Onboard time• Time to destination
8
Solution
• Accurate estimation of bus arrivals• Bus information accessibility by Internet, cellular phone • Bus information provided at stops and on- board

Conclusion
• An innovative architecture of integrating AVL and VII technologies was proposed to improve intercity bus reliability. • Bus arrival time at each stop can be predicted with high precision with implementation of the system.• Electronic Bus Stop and backend Interactive Voice Response system provide accessible information to en-route passengers. • The system needs to be implemented to analyze the level of improvement to intercity bus reliability.
