Abstract

Passenger travel characteristics (PTCs) are characteristics that are sought from the information contained in trips, such as travel frequency, travel mode, departure location, and etc. Understanding PTCs can help develop passenger-oriented planning and service policies, so analysis of PTCs is a topic of constant interest to researchers and transportation service providers. However, PTCs vary with the change of many factors, such as network, price policy, service. The process or trend of PTCs change, which is called the evolution of PTCs, are useful for assessing the impact of external factors changes on passengers.
