A transit passenger does not always use the same bus line between an O-D pair because several routes, sharing common stops, can take him to the destination. If vehicles arrive at stop at random (because there is not a time-table or because of deviation from it), or if arrivals are regular but users arrive at random, passengers are faced with a random choice. In this paper, assuming an indifferent behavior of passengers, the problem of choice between common bus lines on the basis of different hypotheses of bus headways is examined. The arrival patterns considered are: regular arrivals; Poisson arrivals; intermediate hypothesis: there is a time-table but vehicles can incur delay or the can be early or late. This paper examines the way the attractive set and the utilization probability of its routes varies, with reference to a single O-D pair, on the basis of the above mentioned hypotheses about transit service.

Abstract
A transit passenger does not always use the same bus line between an O-D pair because several routes, sharing common stops, can take him to the destination. If vehicles arrive at stop at random (because there is not a time-table or because of deviation from it), or if arrivals are regular but users arrive at random, passengers are faced with a random choice. In this paper, assuming an indifferent behavior of passengers, the problem of choice between common bus lines on the basis of different hypotheses of bus headways is examined. The arrival patterns considered are: regular arrivals; Poisson arrivals; intermediate hypothesis: there is a time-table but vehicles can incur delay or the can be early or late. This paper examines the way the attractive set and the utilization probability of its routes varies, with reference to a single O-D pair, on the basis of the above mentioned hypotheses about transit service.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
