ABSTRACT
Urban transport systems are increasingly important for modern cities as they provide sustainable transport and a positive social environment. The systems that allow controlling transport infrastructures integrate many legacy systems and require increasing resources for maintenance. Authorities managing public transport facilities not only need to dynamically adapt to the daily fluctuations in city life, but they also strive to be in constant dialogue with the citizens. In this poster paper, we present our preliminary insights from a study where we looked closely at the operations centre of a light rail and bus operator in a major German city. Through contextual inquiry, we chart emerging issues and design challenges. We showcase how urban facility managers negotiate legacy systems and cooperate with each other to keep transport systems functioning.

Application of Multi-factor Hierarchical Fuzzy Evaluation in Public Transport
ICMTMA '10: Proceedings of the 2010 International Conference on Measuring Technology and Mechatronics Automation - Volume 01In view of the difficulty to evaluate urban public transport in an objective, comprehensive and accurate manner, an index system and its hierarchical structure for urban public transport evaluation are developed and a mathematical model established by ...
Evaluation of modal-choice rules through ground transportation modeling using subway data
One of the most important issues in transportation and urban planning is an understanding of passenger choice while commuting in existing transport infrastructure. Big modern cities offer a multimodal selection of methods to transfer between the parts ...
