| description | Evaluating bus transit performance periodically is a key step to improve service quality and system efficiency. An extenics-based model is developed with the real-world data. The performance indices employed for the evaluation are identified. The dependent function applied for measuring the correlation between the bus transit and the system performance is formulated. The hybrid weights associated with the indices are determined by subjective weights through analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and objective weights through the entropy method. The proposed extenics model is applied for evaluating a bus transit system of a medium-sized city in China. The model outcomes are informative, while the suggestions corresponding to the identified weakness are concluded for future planning and operation. |
