Abstract

The unreasonable location of bus stations and scheduling has been a serious problem in public transportation for a long time. To provide a comfortable travel experience, effective bus scheduling and reasonable station location is essential. In order to estimate bus passenger flow at different location and time, this paper proposes a method using ridge regression and stepwise regression to estimate passenger flow with POI and AFC data fusion. The results show that all categories of POI have different capacity to influence passenger flow, and people can estimate number of passengers of arbitrary time and place based on the method, which will contribute to optimization of public transportation system.
