The Study of the Trolley Buses Occupancy
Public transport occupancy is a very important indicator. On the one hand, low occupancy rates result in a low payback of transportation. On the other hand, too high occupancy rates reduce the quality of services provided to passengers, which can lead to an outflow of passengers. The study of oc cupancy of public transport devoted some works. In [1], the authors found that Pareto law is valid for many routes about occupancy – only 20% of bus occupancy is used for 80% of the route. The article [2] presents a method for estimating the level of employment of public transport based on data recorded by the weighing system in motion (wait in motion system). Analysis of the measurement data allowed us to propose the following analytical form of a function describing the employment level of a passenger vehicle, depending on the result of gross weight measurement [2, p. Five]: Y = 152.05X + 9624.4, Where X is the number of passengers, Y is the vehicle weight.
