Evaluation Architecture Discussion of Route-Level Transit Service Quality

In this research, travelers' responses to transportation service according to their budgets on travel time, money, and energy expenditure are studied based on the analysis of intrinsic characteristics of transportation service and travelers. A new perspective of evaluating the route-level transit service quality, which is distinguished from that of network-level, is discussed with recommended system architecture, established based on value, energy expenditure, and information dimensions. Finally, suggestions of future work is given, in which, paying more attention to the ergonomic and psychological perspectives of travel issue is encouraged for revealing travel behavior from a more fundamental level, as well as providing theoretical support to the evaluation of transit service quality from passengers' perception.

摘要为了从服务学的视角准确考量公交系统运行服务的质量，本文基于交通调查和系统采集数据，通过统计分析解析了公交系统运行服务的过程和出行者出行的内在特性；基于对出行策略的定义，分析了出行者出行对时间、成本与体能消耗三方面的预算对其出行决策的影响；探讨了公交运行服务质量评价的系统边界，以价值、能耗与信息为基本维度，提出了评价公交运行服务质量的三维体系架构；最后分析提出三大预算对于从公交出行生理因素和心理过程两个基础层面揭示出行行为机理，是从乘客对服务感知视角对公交运行服务质量进行评价的更为客观有效的手段。
