Unsupervised approach towards analysing the public transport bunching swings formation phenomenon

We perform an analysis of public transport data from The Hague, the Netherlands, combined from three sources: static network information, automatic vehicles location and automated fare collection data. We highlight the effect of bunching swings, and show that this phenomenon can be extracted using unsupervised machine learning techniques,...

Understanding Travel Behavior through Travel Happiness

The aim of this paper is to extend past research on travel behavior analysis by investigating travelers’ emotions and perceptions of the system’s performance. Perceived travel happiness as an extension of travel satisfaction is researched in the framework of the decision-making process during traveling. Socio-demographic, cognitive, and...

Supervised learning: Predicting passenger load in public transport

In this extended abstract, we show the supervised learning approach to<br/>predicting passenger load of trams, based on historical passenger load patterns. We look at two different cases: predicting long-term passenger load of any given day and time, and predicting short-term passenger load at a particular public transport vehicle.
