Özet:

 

The attractiveness of public transportation to current and/ or future users is highly related upon the adequacy and reliability level of public transportation in an urban area. In order to enhance the strategy development for decision makers as well as transit agencies an evaluation of current situation of urban transportation network is needed. This study aims to evaluate and find ways to improve the performance adequacy of public bus networks in Johor Bahru, Johor state of Malaysia using GIS. Three most effective parameters, namely, drivers’ punctuality, ease of accessibility, and bus schedule adherence are proposed for the evaluation of bus routes service quality and evenness. Various factors relative to the effectiveness of the bus routes are processed using geospatial analysis techniques of ArcGIS by means of real-world data. The results show that 18.75 percent of the actual running times are longer than (and thus behind) the scheduled, and 16.67 percent of those shorter than (and thus ahead of) the scheduled. However, the results are considered applicable for urban transportation planning and management in order to not only analyze the efficiency of current working buses but also improve the level of service (LOS) within a certain place of interest, thereby demonstrating that it can provide quick and accurate quality control.
