A STUDY OF DELAY TIME OF TRANSIT SYSTEM IN TEHRAN CITY (A CASE STUDY OF PROPOSED MODELS IN)

Because of significant delay time of rural public buses in Tehran, there is usually lower trend for using public transportation systems. In order to define this problem, this article is focused on the rural bus line systems of Tehran. For each bus line, twelve sampling and tracking procedure were carried out for the public buses and this process was also repeated for those private vehicles in the same bus line variables such as the trip time and delay time have been considered. Regarding to the delay time, the amount of delay time, site of delay, waiting time recorded and monitored by chronometers. In this study a mediator software has been connected to EMME/2 and SPSS and two novel models have been suggested regarding the delay time ,at different bus station in Tehran city , in order to minimizing such delay time .
