Performance evaluation of BRTS by using AHP model

Abstract

This paper presents the development of bus route evaluation system, for a public bus transportation system in Rajkot city of Gujarat. Bus mass rapid transit System (BRTS) is an innovative, high capability, lower price transport solution which will considerably improve urban quality. Transport System in most Indian cities is rapidly deteriorating due to the increasing travel demand and inefficient transportation. There square measure numerous issues connected with transport such tremendous increase in range of accidents, Environmental degradation, Congestion, Overcrowding as a result of inadequate system, Frequency of service and schedule isn't strictly adhered. the matter of pollution, safety and unskillfulness have reached at an awful level in most of the key cities in Bharat as a result of intense growth of its population -both of individuals and motorcars, combined with inefficient transport system and poor social control of environmental laws etc. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model is used, which integrates quantitative and qualitative attributes of the bus routes.
