| Summary: | Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) on-campus bus service is the internal
bus service to transport students within university residential areas and the UTHM
campus. The bus service is intended to fulfil UTHM students' travel demand. UTHM
has designed a bus trip schedule based on the needs of students. Several common
issues presented in this research, include, the actual bus journeys are usually behind
the schedule and the bus service does not comply with passenger demand, especially
students who are depended on the bus for travel. These can be seen that the number of
student influence bus service demand. Regarding these issues, the objective of the
study is made to measure UTHM passengers’ demand, measure actual bus headway at
UTHM and to simulate the existing bus headway based on passengers’ demand. This
research presents PTV VISSIM to provide the benefits of simulation modelling in bus
routes and determine the headway to meet the passengers’ demand. Based on the
analysed data, it shows that BS 15 at the Residential College of Tun Dr Ismail and BS
1 located at the Residential College of Perwira were the highest passengers’ demand
in UTHM. Meanwhile, BS 2 located at Dataran Anggerik is the highest bus demand
along the bus route. Throughout in this research, the actual headway is still under
control although it only several minutes departs earlier and depart behind the timetable.
It can be concluded that most of students who are stayed in the residential college were
alight and board the bus on daily is the highest passengers’ demand. Accurate
passenger demand is the fundamental of a bus scheduling and has important
implication in improving bus service in UTHM. |
