Abstract

Tesis ini membincangkan analisis ke atas permodelan pengangkutan awam untuk menentukan prestasi perkhidmatan bas awam di Pulau Pinang dengan menggunakan perisian EMME/3. Sejumlah 14 senario telah dikenalpasti untuk mengkaji kesan ke atas perbezaan masa (i.e. pagi, tengahari dan petang untuk hari-hari bekerja serta hujung minggu) dan perbezaan jarak kepala (yang diperhatikan dan yang dijadualkan) untuk bas-bas Rapid dan juga untuk sistem kombinasi bas (Bas Rapid dan bas-bas lain). Pengumpulan data bagi tujuan kajian ini adalah koordinat stesen-stesen bas, pemilihan zon, matriks asalan-destinasi, tempoh berhenti, tempoh menunggu, tempoh perjalanan, jarak kepala, kelajuan bas dan isipadu penumpang. This thesis discusses on public transportation modelling to determine the performance of bus services in Penang Island. To simulate the public transportation system, EMME/3 software was employed. A total of 14 scenarios were identified in order to assess the effects of different periods of time (i.e. in the morning, afternoon and evening of weekdays and during weekends) and different headways (observed and scheduled headway) for Rapid Penang buses and combined bus system (Rapid Penang buses and non Rapid Penang buses). In this research, field data including the bus station coordinates, zones selection, OD matrix, layover time, waiting time, travel time, headway, speed and the passenger volume were collected.
