PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to propose a method of quantitative bus deceleration and acceleration time based on automatic vehicle location data generated by a bus operating system. METHODS : The digital tachometer graph (DTG) data of commercial vehicles and the bus departure and arrival time data collected through the Korean bus information system (BIS) were matched and utilized to accurately reflect the deceleration and acceleration position of the bus. It was determined whether the bus arrived (or departed) at bus stations based on the BIS data, and the acceleration and deceleration times were calculated by classifying the bus status section (deceleration-stop-acceleration-driving) based on the DTG speed data. RESULTS : The deceleration and acceleration times calculated using the proposed method were analyzed using the z-test for the bus type and peak and non-peak times. Notably, there was a difference in the acceleration time for each vehicle type. The results were compared with the reference values of TCQSM and the calculated values, and the results were similar. CONCLUSIONS : This study is meaningful in that it conducted basic research on calculating the acceleration and deceleration times by fusing currently available data. In addition, new types of buses that have not been presented in the existing reference values have the advantage of being able to be calculated without a separate investigation if only data are produced according to the current bus management system.
