Section 1 Introduction

In this chapter there are eight main sections:

1- Route location.2- Basic speed/Fleet size relationships.3- Transit scheduling.4- Transit demand analysis.5- Cost analysis.6- Human factors and safety in Transportation.7- Design of land transportation terminals.8- Surveying.

Section 2 literature review

1- Route location.

-Basic principles.-Information sources for transit route analysis.-Routing patterns.-Considerations in route location.-Route location guidelines.-New service.


2- Basic speed/Fleet size.

-Average speed.

-fleet size as determined by demand.

-Vehicle hour , Vehicle mile.


3- Transit scheduling.

- Data needs.


4- Transit demand analysis.

-Relation to service design.-Market size.-Market share.


5- Cost analysis.

-Cost determination.

-Cost allocation model.


6- Human Factors and Safety in Transportation.


7- Design of land transportation terminals.

-Queuing theory. -Location and layout of parking.


8- surveying- Origin_ destination survey

WEST BANKSection 3 Initial assessment

TRANSPORTATION IN PALESTINE

The Palestinian transportation system was clearly neglected, so that it was not easy to keep up with other transportation systems all around the world or even in our area.

Section 3 Initial assessment

- transportation system in Palestine covers only 69% of the needs.

TRANSPORTATION IN PALESTINE


TRANSPORTATION

The transport sector in Palestine "West Bank" subject to the supervision of the Ministry of Transport of Palestine.

The most important priorities of the ministry is develop public transport, which reflects the pursuit of the ministry continued to regulate public transport, through the development of many of the strategic plans.

MAIN PROBLEMS

The main problems in Palestinian public transport:

1 – occupation.2 - laws that limit the Ministry's work in the field of public transport.3- Infrastructure.4- Existing network lacks the stops and bus stations.5 - Poor oversight role of the Ministry.6 - Lack of cooperation from the owners of companies and owners of the buses with the Ministry.7 - The lack and adequate financial support.


FACTS

Transport system in West Bank suffers from:

1- Lack of planning, development and regulation.2- High volume rate of private car ownership.3-High rate of accidents and injury.4- High population growth rates in The Palestinian territories. 5-There is no plan with actual steps to regulate the transport sector.



Section 4Transportation

system development



Section 4 Transportation system development ROUTE

LOCATIONDepending on shortest path method in“OR” and other considerations that be listed in literature review.

Route location set as in the Map.

All Routes in West Bank.

All possible Routes between cities.

Section 4 Transportation system development ROUTE

LOCATIONAfter determining Route locationBus stops set in each city.

For example Nablus city map.

Section 4 Transportation system development BASIC SPEED/ FLEET

SIZE

In this section the fleet size in each Route will be calculated.

the main items that become to calculate is:


SIZE

1- Cycle time : is the time for one vehicle to make a complete cycle of the route.

2- Required headway

3- The number of vehicles (NV) needed to service a route with a given length (L).

Section 4 Transportation system development TRANSIT SCHEDULING

This section aims to set the best schedule in each Route :

Nablus-Tulkarm Route select to explain the method of scheduling:

1- Collecting data .

2- Data analysis to reach bets schedule.
