Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of collecting information concerning the actual starting and finishing points of journeys taken using public transport, independent of changes in route and/or conveyance, information as to the journey, including the place of mounting the conveyance and the time of starting the journey being registered on a fare document.
  • these routes form a network.
  • These conveyances include railed vehicles such as underground trains and local trains as well as road vehicles such as buses and coaches.
  • railed vehicles such as underground trains and local trains as well as road vehicles such as buses and coaches.
  • road vehicles such as buses and coaches.
  • journey habit surveys where randomly selected passengers are interviewed by telephone as to the actual start and destination of journeys they have taken. This is also expensive and is only undertaken to a limited extent and with low frequency. Typically, this takes place every fifth year.
  • Relation statistics particular to a given route i.e. information as to boarding and debarkation stops for passengers within a route may be obtained in several ways today, such as registering fare document sales and fare document use, as well as manual or automatic traffic counting.
  • This need is met by the present invention, which relates to a method of collecting information in accordance with the preamble to claim 1. This method includes the steps:
  • the proposed method is based on the following basic principles.
  • the fare document as a storage medium for information as to the journey taken, the assumption that the target point of the journey is usually also the starting point of the next journey, which is undertaken with the same fare document, and
  • every individual stop may be selected as starting, change of conveyance (transfer) point, or the traffic area may be divided into an optional number of areas suitably grouped into zones.
  • Such a zone may contain a preselected number of stops.
  • the word "zone" in the following example may only include one, or a selected number of stops.
  • a journey e.g. a journey from the home to the place of work
  • A which is included in zone 12
  • the place and time of boarding is registered on a fare document.
  • the following information can be registered, for example, in a suitably coded condition:
  • the information on the new journey is also registered on the fare document.
  • the following information for example, is registered in a suitable form on the fare document: "Journey started in zone 17 at 17.15 hrs".
  • This registration may be preceded by removal of the information as to the previous journey. This removal must however take place after registration in the data carrier in the conveyance or at the station.
  • a fictitious time of validity is inserted in order to distinguish continued and new journey.
  • Errors occur in the registration in the cases where the assumption as to identity between target and starting point is not met, e.g. due to the traveller going by taxi in one direction, or changing cards without transferring information between them. However, this is accepted as the price of obtaining cheap information.
  • the information collected in the conveyances and at the stations with regard to journeys undertaken can then be processed centrally.
