A demand and capacity analysis on bus semirapid transit network (Case: Jabodetabek public transport network)

Abstract

The objective of this research is to estimate the potential demand and capacity for Jabodetabek Bus Semi rapid Transit (BST). A transport model based on four step modeling is utilized to analyze the demand at network level. The model is developed from previous works and adjusted through a calibration and validation procedure with data from the field. The base year O-D matrix is calibrated by trip length frequency distribution through a matrix balancing process. While the passenger flow is validated through transit assignment procedure with data on the existing bus routes. Based on the assumptions made and different operational characteristics and fare system scenarios, a simulation through the developed model on the proposed BST is conducted. From the analysis, the total boarding, the passenger flow on peak hour for each BST corridor are obtained. Based on the average and maximum passenger flow, the required capacity for each corridor is determined.
