Passenger-Weighted Route Deviation Ratio (PWRDR) as a Parameter of Public Transport Quality

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Designing efficient and competitive public transport services in urban areas requires a balance between service quality, accessibility, and operational efficiency. While tra- ditional planning methods primarily optimize for travel time and coverage, this paper introduces the Passenger-Weighted Route Deviation Ratio (PWRDR) as a novel parameter to evaluate the quality of transit routes. The PWRDR quantifies the extent to which a public transport line deviates from its direct path to serve additional areas, balancing accessibility and efficiency. This parameter considers the relationship between deviation length, travel time impact, population served, and the functional purpose of the route. We present a mathematical formulation and a methodological framework for integrating PWRDR into public transport planning. By incorporating this metric, planners can better assess the trade-off between directness and service coverage, leading to more effective and user-centered transit network designs.
