Summary Bus travel time reliability performance influences service attractiveness, operating costs, and system efficiency. Better understanding of the distribution variability is a prerequisite for analysis. A wide array empirical studies has been conducted to model times in transport. However, depending on data tested approaches applied examine fitting performance, different conclusions have reported. This paper aims specify most appropriate day‐to‐day by using novel evaluation approach set...

Control at railway level crossings, using either road rumble strips or in-vehicle auditory warning devices, has the potential to improve safety. This article evaluates driver behavior of these two devices and conventional crossing (flashing lights a stop sign) driving simulator. Rumble have been seen encourage drivers reduce speed earlier on approach but did not affect stopping compliance. In-vehicle warnings produced high compliance and, overall, comparable that for flashing lights....

There is a need to match emission estimations accuracy with the outputs of transport models. The overall error rate in long-term traffic forecasts resulting from strategic models likely be significant. Microsimulation models, whilst high-resolution nature, may have similar measurement errors if they use obtain demand predictions. At microlevel, this paper discusses limitations existing emissions estimation approaches. Emission for predicting pollutants other than CO 2 are proposed. A genetic...
