Abstract
Modeling of motional behavior of the passengers in the municipal transport—bus, trolleybus, streetcar, subway, or suburban electric train—was discussed for the first time. Attention was focused on the relations for passenger flow densities that would adequately describe the main characteristics of the averaged passenger behavior and their distribution during boarding, travel, and exit. Besides studying the passenger flows and observance of schedules, these models could be used to predict the degree of bus filling, estimate the comfort level, and work out recommendations for bus configurations.
