Research on analysis of electronic ticket value-added application and model plan

  • Date:2019-03-05
  • Update:2019-03-05
  • Department:IOT

Research result:

  During the past years, Keelung City Government never announced the journey starting/ending data of passengers using the city bus. Under the support of this Plan, the journey starting/ending data will be estimated according to the electronic ticket validated by the boarding passengers in order to establish the passenger journey starting/ending map for the Keelung City Bus System in order that Keelung City Government may conduct the transportation demand analysis.

  The Keelung City electronic ticket data being validated will be analyzed in order to propose the Keelung City bus-related resource planning solution or improvement solution to Keelung City Government as the reference of execution. Listed below are the examples of the analysis: Based on the analysis results on whether the senior passengers could easily access to the low-riding bus for each route, it is suggested that the route offering the low-riding bus should be increased as a higher priority. Based on the passenger transfer times, check if the integrated railway and highway service schedule meets the requirements of transfer convenience. Based on the analysis result for the number of waiting passengers at each stop, check if it is required to increase the standing space of each bus waiting shelter.

  To the competent transportation authority in Taiwan, the value-added application analysis for the electronic ticket data is still in its initial stage, as they are lacking of the execution experience in this aspect. Therefore, the standard operation procedure for the electronic ticket data value-added application analysis is developed for the following 8 key application issues and they are “Route Operation Mode Review”, “Route View and Planning Assessment”, “Service Frequency Review”, “Transfer Planning Analysis”, “Vehicle Type and Station Facilities Review”, “Subsidized Route Analysis”, “Public Transportation Policy Assessment” and “Transportation Demand Mode Review” in order that the Responsible Staff of the competent transportation authority may understand how to conduct the application analysis of electronic ticket data.
