Abstract:In order to complete a set of passenger flow estimates for use in a simulation model of a light rail line, a count of passenger movement was made at randomly selected stations in the underground section. Above-ground stations had been studied a year earlier. Eight surveyors were employed during one Monday through Friday period. The model which makes the data tractable is an analysis of variance model, with logarithmic transforms of the data. Although a satisfactory fit was obtained, discrepancies between the treatment of the 1977 and 1978 results made a validation necessary before the methods could be recommended for general use. For planning purposes, information about the volume of ridership is essential. This study has shown that sufficiently accurate estimates can be gained without expending huge amounts of labor and money.
