Using Smart Card Data To Model Commuters’ Responses Upon Unexpected Train Delays, Xiancai Tian, Baihua Zheng

The mass rapid transit (MRT) network is playing an increasingly important role in Singapore's transit network, thanks to its advantages of higher capacity and faster speed. Unfortunately, due to aging infrastructure, increasing demand, and other reasons like adverse weather condition, commuters in Singapore recently have been facing increasing unexpected train delays (UTDs), which has become a source of frustration for both commuters and operators. Most, if not all, existing works on delay management do not consider commuters' behavior. We dedicate this paper to the study of commuters' behavior during UTDs. We adopt a data-driven approach to analyzing the six-month' real …

Urban planners and economists alike have strong interest in understanding the inter-dependency of land use and people flow. The two-pronged problem entails systematic modeling and understanding of how land use impacts crowd flow to an area and in turn, how the influx of people to an area (or lack thereof) can influence the viability of business entities in that area. With cities becoming increasingly sensor-rich, for example, digitized payments for public transportation and constant trajectory tracking of buses and taxis, understanding and modelling crowd flows at the city scale, as well as, at finer granularity such as at the neighborhood …
