A First Step to Diagnostic of Urban Transport Operations by Means of GPS Receiver

AbstractA simple methodology is proposed to quantify operating parameters of urban transport system by means GPS technology of low cost. Parameters such as: travel-time, speed, and delay were analyzed at a grade-separated busway without overtaking and with traffic signals. The system has 10.3km of exclusive platform, 13 Bus stops, 17 Intersections and 7 U-turns. A mistake up to 10% by distance increase was reduced substantially applying an algorithm. GPS data and corrective method were validated and state-space-speed models were obtained for the route characterization and can be useful to optimization. Fuzzy c-means clustering was used for speed dataset
