| description | Capital investment on upgrading commuter transportation system may be ineffective if
demand of passengers towards commuter is not accounted for. Hence, simulation study is
suggested to study the commuter system performance. The system is evaluated from the
aspects of waiting time of passengers and number of cases of passengers being left out at the
stations. Input data such as arrival time of commuter, arrival process of passengers, capacity of
coaches, proportion of passengers to certain destinations, and dwelling time of commuter at
stations were collected, modelled, validated and used as input to the simulation model
developed using Arena. The developed model is used to generate data related to the
performance of the system. An example on application of the model in comparing performance
of two classes of commuter is discussed. |
