The Prediction of Optimal Route of City Transportation Based on Passenger Occ...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Currently, the existence of city transport is increasingly eliminated by private vehicles such as
cars and motorcycles. This situation is further exacerbated by the behavior of city transport drivers who are
less discipline in driving, or in picking up and dropping off their passengers. The bad behavior is partly
caused by the low level of passenger occupancy. The drivers try to search for passengers as much as
possible but often ignore the traffic rules. To overcome this problem, an optimal transport route with high
passenger potential is required. Therefore, this study investigated the optimal route of city transport based
on the passenger occupancy rate in the city of Bandung as the case study. The method employed for
determining the optimal route is Genetic algorithm combined with Ordinary Kriging method used for the
process of passenger prediction and fitness calculation. The optimal routes are those with higher
occupancy rate. The analysis results showed that the use of the Genetic algorithm with a low number of
generations succeed in creating new optimal routes even though the increase is not too high the maximum
only reaches 4%.This result is certainly important enough to be used in making better public transport
routes.
This document proposes two bus lane routes in Bangalore to help address traffic congestion issues. Route 1 runs 28 km from Domlur to Electronic City along major roads.

A study of sustainable transportation system in ahmedabad and delhiIJARIIT
This paper on sustainable urban transport attempts to overview an all-inclusive set of indicators which are taken up
by planners, authorities in order to help cities for developing an integrated and sustainable transportation system. Developing
countries like India, where unplanned urbanization and unparalleled growth in motorization have led to increased focus on
sustainable use of mass transit systems like commuter rails and bus transportation. An integrated transportation strategy is
most needed so that these modes of transport are integrated efficiently to facilitate the sustainable transportation. The vision of
planners is to ensure easy access, safe, affordable, quick, comfortable, reliable and sustainable mobility for all sections of the
society in our cities. The present transport system in most of the Indian cities is stressed under an urban environment which is
made up of different sub-systems. Hence it is obvious to understand how these sub systems perform in order to have a
sustainable mass-transit transportation network. The various modes of urban transportation – BRTS, Metro, Bicycle-sharing,
usage of CNG fuels – currently available in the city of Ahmedabad and Delhi are discussed in the paper in the context of
urban transport characteristics, public transport, and non-motorized transport. For promoting sustainable urban transport in a
holistic manner it is equally important to understand the social, economic and environmental sustainability of each of these
sub-systems.

Do People Really Know Their Fertility Intentions? Correspondence between Sel...Xiao Xu
Fertility intention data from surveys often serve as a crucial component in modeling fertility behaviors. Yet, the persistent gap between stated intentions and actual fertility decisions, coupled with the prevalence of uncertain responses, has cast doubt on the overall utility of intentions and sparked controversies about their nature. In this study, we use survey data from a representative sample of Dutch women. With the help of open-ended questions (OEQs) on fertility and Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods, we are able to conduct an in-depth analysis of fertility narratives. Specifically, we annotate the (expert) perceived fertility intentions of respondents and compare them to their self-reported intentions from the survey. Through this analysis, we aim to reveal the disparities between self-reported intentions and the narratives. Furthermore, by applying neural topic modeling methods, we could uncover which topics and characteristics are more prevalent among respondents who exhibit a significant discrepancy between their stated intentions and their probable future behavior, as reflected in their narratives.

INTRODUCTION
1. Introduction to Transportation industry of India
Transport in the Republic of India is an important part of the nation's economy. Since the
economic liberalization of the 1990s, development of infrastructure within the country has
progressed at a rapid pace, and today there is a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water
and air. However, India's relatively low GNP per capita has meant that access to these modes of
transport has not been uniform.
Despite ongoing improvements in the sector, several aspects of the transport sector are still
riddled with problems due to outdated infrastructure and lack of investment in less economically
active parts of the country. The demand for transport infrastructure and services has been rising
by around 10% a year with the current infrastructure being unable to meet these growing
demands. According to recent estimates by Goldman Sachs, India will need to spend US$1.7
trillion on infrastructure projects over the next decade to boost economic growth, of which
US$500 billion is budgeted to be spent during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan.
The oldest Indian state transport undertaking is North Bengal State Transport Corporation
founded by the Raj Darbar of Koch Bihar Kingdom regime on 1 April 1945 with 3 buses and 3
trucks.It is still vibrant and running, providing service to commuters of North Bengal region.
Buses take up over 90% of public transport in Indian cities,and serve as a cheap and convenient
mode of transport for all classes of society. Services are mostly run by state government owned
transport corporations. However, after the economic liberalization, many state transport
corporations have introduced various facilities like low-floor buses for the disabled and air-conditioned
buses to attract private car owners to help decongest roads.Bangalore was the first
city in India to introduce Volvo B7RLE intra-city buses in India in January 2006.Bangalore is
the first Indian city to have an air-conditioned bus stop, located near Cubbon Park was built by
airtel. The city of Chennai houses one of Asia's largest bus terminus,the Chennai Mofussil Bus
Terminus. In 2009, the Gov of Karnataka and the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation
flagged off a pro-poor bus service called the Atal Sarige, aims to provide low-cost connectivity
to the economically backward sections of the society to the nearest major bus station.

LITRETURE REVIEW
1. M O Mathew in his book on Rail and Road Transport in India emphasized that the
efficiency of the transport Industry as a whole is determined by organizational considerations
in the context of unit sizes. He also opined that transport, being a public utility industry, is
regulated by Government policies in many ways, of which some have a direct or indirect
impact on the evolution of size.
2. Satyanarayana has observed that the cost of service of road transport depend upon the size
of the fleet, the vehicle condition and the length and road condition. His study attempts to
find out the inter-relationship between these factors on the basis of the data collected from a
reprehensive sample of motor vehicle operators in Andhra Pradesh. He has observed that the
size of the motor transport unit has been a fundamental factor influencing the cost of
operations of motor transport industry.
3. Srivastava presented the historical development of various modes (air,water, road and
railways) of transport in India. He has attempted todiscuss various operating variables like
rates, fares, low productivity, stateregulations, administration, competition, financing, aspects
of differentmodes of transport. He has analyzed the effect of efficient, cheap and well-coordinated
development of transport system on Indian economy.
4. Sudarshanam Padam discussed in detail, the history of bus transport in India, various forms
of organizations in State Transport Undertakings, its management and performance by way
of comparison from 1970-1980 in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Karnataka
State Road Transport Corporations. He also identified the problems in performance.
5. The National Transport Policy Committee (NTPC) studied on “Passenger Road Transport
in India”, taking the cross-sectional data of 31undertakings for 1976 – 1977 and finds that the
unit cost was mainly influenced by two variables namely fleet utilization and vehicle
utilization. The Committee advocated for a direct exchequer subsidy to urban transport
undertakings in view of the social benefits that they extend
