| Summary | The advanced public transportation system (APTS) is the administration direction that the government vigorously pushed on in recent years. Through communication, information and automation technologies, it is expected to improve the operation efficiency and the management system of operators, and to provide passengers the dynamic riding information for promoting level of service of the public transportation system. However, the existing remote area service route buses often encounter the phenomena like a low number of average passengers per vehicle-kilometer, longer interval between 2 buses, and foreseeable short-term business loss. This is very different from the operation types of city bus and MRT shuttle bus. Therefore, the former related research and demonstration establishment of urban area passenger transportation are not necessarily suitable for the remote area service route bus. In view of this, this research is aimed at the user demand characteristics and the transportation types of remote area service route buses, and brings up an overall consideration, and to propose an appropriate smart bus system for Service Bus Routes. This project is a 2-year period plan, and this year is the first year. The project’s scope contains: (1) the review of APTS cases and experiences, (2) the analysis of service route bus characteristics, (3) the passenger demand analysis, (4) the issues and strategies for improving remote area service route buses, (5) the planning of a Smart Bus System for Service Bus Routes, and (6) the proposition of a pilot project for Smart Bus System Through this research, it can make a triple-win prospect of increasing passengers’ riding will, creating operators’ income, and reducing the government’s financial expenses. |
