Effect of Tram Floor Height on Passenger Boarding and Alighting Time
The investigation presented in this paper aims to determine the effect of tram floor height on boarding and alighting time at stops in the Croatian capital Zagreb. It is performed on side platforms along separate tram corridors where stop operations are not affected by individual traffic and there is no interference between passengers and pedestrians. To account for the diversity of passengers, six stops (two intermodal, one next to the university, one next to the business, and two next to the residential areas) were selected for the investigation. They are served by five different types of trams, two low-floor, and three high-floor trams. After video recording of the trams in operation, laboratory processing of collected data, creation of a synthesized database, data preparation, filtering, and statistical analysis, six regression models were created, with the observed number of passengers transiting through the busiest tram doors as the independent and passenger exchange time as a dependent variable. Results show that the effect of the tram floor height and flow type on the flow time is negligible. It was concluded that additional factors which decide the passenger flow time could be the tram door width and the vehicle’s internal layout.
